Scary Drone Swarms

If you are concerned about the situation in Palestine and want to help the people there, I am thinking it might actually make sense for you to start working on creating your own drone swarm.

My thinking is that eventually humanity will need a defense system for small drones that involves surveillance over the entire planet. It seems likely that the attack systems are going to progressively improve until the defense system is absolutely required. The way we would experience this would be through increasingly large numbers of people being killed by drones until the defense systems are created, at which point the number of people being killed will decrease again.

If you are someone who wants to reduce the number of people killed, it therefore makes sense to try and get to the end state as quickly as possible. One way this can be done is by peaceful people creating the drone swarms first, to prove they are scary and create the political incentive to create the defense system. It seems necessary to have a drone swarm yourself to test a defense system anyway.

Additionally, it seems like a worldwide drone surveillance and defense system would require a world government. If we actually had a world government it seems possible we might not have war at all anymore. Maybe we can switch to space wars designed for entertainment only, and are more similar to the Olympics.
