"You actually end wars by making peace too valuable to miss out on." at least needs some complications.

i.e. consider Putin. Russia was invited to the western wealth party, but his motivations aren't entirely economical and there's a principle/agent problem to a "join the EU party it's way wealthier" pitch to the leaders who *won't* be better off after joining the peace.

while as an observation "Peace rooms are low-to-medium energy places that try to keep spikes and surges of energy to a minimum, and instead focus on fostering a culture where people simply show up, week after week and as much as they can.", i do not see why this __needs__ to be.

perhaps this often happen to be because high energy people go to war (rooms), while low energy people migrate to quiet low energy places. or maybe you consider that war against nature is also a war room mentality.

but when you consider the frontier mentality, well, you can have a lot of energy and change and spikes happening there.

would you consider silicon valley mentality (e.g., inside each small startup which is disrupting the world, nota competitor - think airbnb) to be a war room?
