Why War Rather Than a Deal? How Bargaining Can Break Down

Mon, May 4, 8:30 AM

From Executive to Entrepreneur: Business Masterclass & Networking

As the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran unfolds in real time, it raises one of the oldest question in politics: why do wars start? The familiar answers are tempting — greed, power, hatred, the darker instincts of human nature. But they are often too simple. War is ruinously expensive for both sides, and almost any deal is better than destruction. The costliness of war is precisely why it remains the exception rather than the rule — rivals usually prefer to loathe one another in peace rather than fight. The book we will be looking at in May takes that observation seriously. Instead of asking why humans are warlike in general, it asks a sharper question: if peace is usually the better choice, why do deals collapse and wars break out anyway? By mapping the specific strategic breakdowns — miscalculations, hidden uncertainties, promises that can't be kept — that derail even willing parties, it offers a diagnostic framework for understanding why conflicts erupt despite overwhelming incentives to avoid them, and how those same insights can be used to chart a path to peace. Come along and let's dig in. **Primary Reading:** ***[Why We Fight Summary](https://1drv.ms/b/c/adb4f7488b2eef0a/IQCksASUdxdGRogAVU6VPwJjAeOtxA7Gdo9LgvTDTezGwjs?e=jwHnwr)*** (A 38-page guide prepared for this meetup) **The Book:** ***Why We Fight: The Roots of War and the Paths to Peace* (2022) by Christopher Blattman.** Christopher Blattman is a professor at the University of Chicago who has spent decades doing something rare in conflict studies: actually going to war zones and high-violence communities to run rigorous field experiments and test his theories against reality. Drawing on political science, economics, and psychology, he builds a framework that applies equally to international wars, civil conflicts, drug cartel turf wars, and street gangs — the same underlying logic, he argues, explains them all. His central claim is that war is almost never inevitable — peace and compromise are almost always available, and almost always better for both sides. When wars do break out, it is because one of five specific mechanisms has caused the logic of peace to collapse: **(1) Unchecked interests** — leaders pursuing personal gains at their people's expense; **(2) Intangible incentives** — goals like honour, ideology, or religious duty that no material deal can satisfy; **(3) Uncertainty** — where private information and the temptation to bluff make it rational to call an adversary's hand; **(4) Commitment problems** — when a rising power cannot credibly promise not to exploit its future advantage, making conflict feel safer than a deal that won't hold; and **(5) Misperceptions** — when leaders systematically misjudge their enemy's strength, intentions, or resolve. The guide we prepared should give you a solid grounding in all of these ideas, but I hope it leaves you wanting more and that you will track down the book. It is easily available as an ebook and audiobook, and likely in libraries. If you want to buy a physical copy, you may need to order one, so don't leave it too late. One honest caveat: although Blattman writes for a general audience — enlivened by his firsthand accounts of fieldwork in war zones and gang-controlled neighbourhoods — this is a substantial book that requires some effort. One request, though: only arrive having done some reading. The summary guide is there precisely for this — it won't take long and it will make the evening far more rewarding. We've all sat through discussions that devolve into "well, Netanyahu is just..." or "the Ayatollahs are simply..." and while those conversations have their place, they're not what the Big Ideas Book Club is for. Blattman's whole project is to get beyond personality and prejudice to the structural forces that drive conflict. Come ready to think at that level, and the discussion will be genuinely illuminating. Join us for a drink (and optional meal) at 6:30pm on Monday, 4th May, on the 2nd floor of the Keg & Brew Hotel in Surrey Hills (i.e. up two flights of stairs). The venue is conveniently located near Central Station and the Light Rail. Do the reading and bring along your favourite war to discuss, and maybe we can also help deescalate the parking-spot war you are currently waging with your neighbours. 😊 Hope to see you there! P.S. Please adjust your RSVP if you have indicated that you will come but are no longer able to do so. This is courteous to other people if there is a waitlist. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- These are just some optional links to consider to supplement the main reading. But please do the reading! Feel free to pass on other useful links in the discussion section. **Video & Audio** * Talks and Podcasts with Blattman: [Blattman Presentation on the Book (1 hr)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d57pqL-9cg&t=1096s) [Vox’s Weeds podcast with Blattman on Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/episode/6tC2NJ1WaMO4MlYi3zdEuX) [Interview at the U.S. Institute of Peace](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_vyJj-l3nY&t=182s) (Now the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace!) **Written** * Blattman's writing on the book: [5 Key Insights -- The Next Big Idea Club](https://nextbigideaclub.com/magazine/fight-roots-war-paths-peace-bookbite/34151/) [The Roots of War - Boston Review](https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/the-roots-of-war/) [Five Reasons War Happen](https://mwi.westpoint.edu/the-five-reasons-wars-happen/) [Blattman on the prospects of war with China](https://chrisblattman.com/blog/2022/10/26/the-prospects-for-war-with-china-why-i-see-a-serious-chance-of-world-war-iii-in-the-next-decade/) * Summary of the book: [Tosummarise book summary](https://www.tosummarise.com/book-summary-why-we-fight-by-chris-blattman/) * Other books. If you are interested in how historians rather than political scientists approach the causes of war, two books worth knowing about are listed below. Geoffrey Blainey — one of Australia's most eminent historians — argues in his 1973 classic work (now updated to 2025) that wars typically begin when nations hold conflicting beliefs about their own relative power, a thesis that maps onto Blattman's uncertainty and misperceptions mechanisms. Richard Overy's recent book takes a broader and darker view, surveying the deep biological, psychological, and cultural foundations that make humans a persistently warlike species — essentially the kind of sweeping "why are humans aggressive?" question that Blattman deliberately sets aside in favour of his sharper diagnostic approach. \- Blainey $2025$ The Causes of War \- Overy $2024$ Why War?

Executive to Entrepreneur: Business Masterclass Dinner

Thu, May 7, 7:30 AM

**The Ultimate Event Playbook** **How to Use Events to Build Trust, Authority and Revenue** For businesses, visibility alone does not convert into growth. Trust does. Authority does. Momentum does. This workshop demonstrates how businesses can use strategically designed events, not as one-off marketing activities, however as structured growth levers that accelerate credibility, build communities and generate measurable ROI. Participants will leave with a clear framework for choosing the right event formats, executing them effectively and converting event engagement into revenue. **Three Key Takeaways** **1\. Events Are Trust Accelerators\, Not Marketing Add\-Ons** Well-designed events position founders as category leaders. The right format builds authority faster than months of digital content. **2\. Focus Beats Volume** Three repeatable event strategies executed consistently outperform ten scattered appearances. Strategic design reduces burnout and increases ROI. **3\. ROI Comes From Follow\-Up\, Not Applause** The true commercial return of events is realised in structured post-event nurturing, partnerships, and relationship conversion, not attendance numbers. **About The Speaker** **Evob ‘E' Yesus, Founder, Chief Events Officer** With over 20 years in the event industry, Eyob Yesus partners closely with clients to create experiences that connect people, build communities, and support their missions. **Event management isn’t just his profession, it’s his passion.** What sets Eyob apart is his creative-first, solution-focused approach, always centred on engagement. He believes the future of human connection is events, and that this evolving platform remains one of the most powerful ways to deliver meaningful connections and unforgettable experiences. **Father of Three \| Husband\| Event Creative \| Dynamic Doer \| Basketball Enthusiast** **333 Events Organised** **19504 Connections** **5000 Attendees (Largest Event Managed)** **Agenda** **5:30 pm to 7:00 pm** Arrival, Dinner and Networking Check in, enjoy dinner and drinks, and begin networking in a relaxed setting. **7:00 pm to 7:30 pm** Masterclass: Eyob Yesus delivers an interactive session on how to strategically design events that accelerate credibility, build communities and generate measurable ROI. **7:30 pm to 9:00 pm** Open Discussion and Final Networking Continue conversations, ask questions and build meaningful connections. **Who Should Attend** * Business owners and entrepreneurs looking to grow * SME founders wanting more leads and visibility * Professionals considering starting a business * Leaders who want clarity and confidence around paid marketing **Limited Seats Available** This is an intimate event designed for quality conversations and practical value. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly and welcoming. When like-minded people are in the same room, it makes a massive difference. Conversations flow easily, connections feel natural and ideas are shared openly. It is an open setting where everyone is approachable, supportive and connected through a shared entrepreneurial mindset.

Not merely as a slogan, and not merely as an administrative term, but as a philosophical idea. More than that, he wants to place accountability within a larger moral sequence. That sequence is this: Values. Ethics. Morals. Integrity. Consequences. Accountability. Remorse. Redemption. Sam Alexander has been the convenor of Philo Agora for the past 25 years. He holds degrees in Divinity and Theology fro, the University of Sydne. **On the second Monday of the month, Philo Agora has a speaker on a philosophical topic and a Q&A and discussion after. On the fourth Monday we meet again for open philosophical discussion.** Philo Agora's format is a talk for 20 minutes starting at 7:15 for 7:30. The presenter then answers any questions of clarification from the floor. We then take a break of 5 minutes for more coffee and to mull over the talk and discuss it within small groups. The microphone is then passed around the audience for comment, opinion, and often counter argument to a maximum of 3 minutes. The presenter is then given a 5 minute right of reply. We usually finish up at 9pm. The cover charge is $5 for the talk. There are tea and coffee facilities available in-house. Sam Alexander - Convener (0457 749 310)

"In Aerithoria, a sinister force known as the Celestial Eclipse has awakened. Led by the enigmatic Dark Seraph, this group seeks to steal the legendary Astral Compass, a mystical artifact that can control the movement of the floating islands. With the Astral Compass in their possession, they intend to plunge the entire realm into chaos, disrupting the delicate balance of Aerithoria." "Our new hero, a skilled cartographer named Kaelin Skystrider, becomes the chosen one to safeguard the Astral Compass and thwart the Celestial Eclipse's nefarious plans. Kaelin possesses a unique talent for mapmaking and navigation, allowing him to understand the hidden connections between the floating islands. Armed with enchanted maps and an airship named the "Zephyr Runner," Kaelin embarks on his quest." "Kaelin's companions include: 1. Seraphina Stormwing, a winged elf with the ability to command the winds and navigate the skies with unparalleled grace. 2. Flint Ironforge, a gnome tinkerer and inventor, who equips Kaelin's airship with ingenious contraptions. 3. Lyria Sunshard, a seer from the island of Sylvaria, who can glimpse into the future and decipher cryptic visions. 4.
