"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?
The whole "Strong men create good times..." line just grinds my gears in a way like nothing else does. It is a perfect example of how a banal, trite platitude is widely mistaken to be a pithy and potent truism by a particular personality type, simply because it has a ring and a rhythm to it. It's a type that's usually a lazy thinker, always averse to examining, scrutinizing or even just patiently marinating in an idea, weirdly eager to adopt it as some kind of strongly held belief, even though it falls apart the moment you think about it for more than a couple of mins.

It doesn’t necessarily happen quickly.
Keeping the economic party going for long enough can conceivably be outlasted by the non-economic actor though?

Ok, now can you steel man the saying by making the best case for why it’s true?
