A Scientific Solution to Terrorism and Conflict
Global Union of Scientists for Peace
26 November 2015
An open letter to President Hollande, President Obama, President Putin, the
leaders of all nations, and the philanthropic peace-loving citizens of the
world
A SCIENTIFIC SOLUTION TO TERRORISM AND CONFLICT
The leaders of Europe, Russia, and the U.S. have been struggling to find
appropriate and effective responses to the terrorist attacks in France—and to
the ongoing conflicts in Syria and elsewhere.
Unfortunately, the options available to our military and political leaders to
resolve these crises are poor. Economic sanctions and diplomatic pressure are
ineffective against terrorism. And military responses can further antagonize
and enflame an already volatile population, leading to retaliation and greater
terrorism—the inevitable consequence of attempting to create peace through
violence. How, then, can such dangerous and complex threats be resolved?
Fortunately, there is a better solution—an innovative, peaceful, proven
approach with a superior track record.
Defusing Conflict at its Source
Research shows that war and social conflict are fueled by acute societal
stress—mounting political, ethnic and religious tensions among rival factions
that, if unchecked, inevitably erupt as social violence. Research similarly
shows that it is possible to effectively defuse acute societal tensions through
the use of powerful, stress-reducing, peace-promoting technologies by a small
fraction of the population, most commonly within the military or in schools or
universities.
On the individual level, published research has shown that certain powerful
stress-reducing methods can neutralize even severe stress, including
post-traumatic stress (PTS), within days—calming hyperactivity in the amygdala
(''fear center'' of the brain) and restoring balanced brain functioning in
servicemen and -women, veterans, and victims of violence in war-torn areas.
On a societal scale, the approach of restoring calm and quelling social
violence through the use of similar techniques by small embedded groups in
society has been extensively field tested—in the Middle East and throughout the
world. The consistent result has been marked reductions in terrorism, war, and
social violence in the affected populations. These findings have been
replicated in more than 50 studies, published in leading peer-reviewed
scientific journals, and endorsed by hundreds of leading scientists and
scholars. The efficacy of this approach is scientifically beyond question.
Achieving societal peace in a nation or a region torn by deep-seated political
and religious tensions is historically difficult—especially given the
underlying physiological root cause of social violence: acute and pervasive
societal stress. Without addressing the buildup of acute societal stress,
standard approaches to conflict resolution are unlikely to succeed. However,
once such tensions have been substantially defused, achieving and maintaining
societal peace becomes comparatively easy.
Extensive published research on prior conflicts in the Middle East has
confirmed that war and violence can be swiftly defused, and a negotiated
settlement quickly reached—if the acute societal tensions have been alleviated.
This outcome can be achieved with the cooperation of even a small group within
the Middle East, or any other area of conflict.
Research Confirms Effectiveness
The initial experimental verification of this new approach took place during
the 1982 Lebanon war. A day-by-day study of an embedded group of peace-creating
experts in 1983 showed that, on days when the number of participants was high,
war deaths dropped by 76% (p < 10-7). In addition, crime, traffic accidents,
fires, and other indicators of social stress all decreased significantly. Other
possible causes were statistically controlled for (Journal of Conflict
Resolution 32: 776–812, 1988).
These results were subsequently replicated in seven consecutive experiments
over a two-year period during the peak of the Lebanon war. The results of these
interventions included:
∙ war-related fatalities decreased by 71% (p < 10-10)
∙ war-related injuries fell by 68% (p < 10-6)
∙ the level of conflict dropped by 48% (p < 10-8)
∙ cooperation among antagonists increased by 66% (p < 10-6)
The likelihood that these combined results were due to chance is less than one
part in 1019, making this effect of reducing societal stress and conflict the
most rigorously established phenomenon in the history of the social sciences
(Journal of Social Behavior and Personality 17(1): 285–338, 2005).
In addition, the global influence on terrorism of three large assemblies of
peace-creating experts (USA, 1983–84; Netherlands, 1984–85; USA, 1985) was
studied retrospectively through an analysis of data compiled by the Rand
Corporation. The data revealed a 72% reduction in worldwide terrorism during
the three assemblies taken together, as compared to all other weeks during a
two-year period. Each assembly had approached or exceeded the participation
threshold (8,000) predicted to create a global influence of peace. The study
ruled out the possibility that this reduction in terrorism was due to cycles,
trends, or drifts in the measures used, or to seasonal changes (Journal of
Offender Rehabilitation 36 (1-4): 283–302, 2003).
Global Application
Now that a scientifically confirmed solution to regional and global conflict
is available, it should be implemented immediately—ideally by establishing one
permanent group of 16,000 peace-creating professionals to create a sufficiently
powerful influence of coherence to neutralize the buildup of social stress on a
global scale. The cost to train and maintain such a group is infinitesimal
compared to the cost of war. The Syrian conflict alone is costing outside
countries at least $10 million per day, or $3.6 billion per year. In contrast,
the cost of maintaining a group of 16,000 peace-creating professionals is less
than that of a single stealth bomber.
The Global Union of Scientists for Peace (GUSP) stands ready to provide the
requisite training in the relevant brain-based, peace-promoting technologies to
designated members of the military, to students in large universities, or to
employees at a sizable company in any conflict-torn country or region. The
techniques, which include the Transcendental Meditation technique and related
advanced programs, are systematic, easily learned, devoid of religious or
philosophical content, and immediately effective. They are already being used
to combat PTS by a growing number of militaries and have been incorporated into
military training—and are already widely used in schools and businesses around
the world.
World's Wealthy Invited to Lead
If governments are slow to implement this scientific solution, then we invite
the wealthy to take responsibility for doing so.
The wealthy have a parental responsibility: They are not subject to the whims
and pressures of electoral politics—yet have the resources and capacity to
safeguard and nourish the whole society.
Now is the time to establish an Endowment Fund for Permanent World Peace in
response to the urgent global demand. The income from this Fund will be used
for one purpose—the training and maintaining of a permanent force of 16,000
peace-creating professionals to neutralize societal stress, and thereby create
an immediate and demonstrable influence of harmony, peace, and positivity for
the entire world.
We invite all peace-loving, well-to-do citizens to collectively—or even
single-handedly—endow this Fund and create permanent world peace on a practical
and demonstrable basis, for their own good and for the good of all.
Nothing to Lose
The prospect of ending tragic violence around the world in an expeditious way
through a scientifically proven approach may seem too good to be true.
Fortunately, the scientific method has strict empirical criteria for assessing
the truth or falsehood of any hypothesis. By the strictest standards of modern
science, this approach has been rigorously verified.
There is nothing to lose and potentially much to gain by applying this
approach. The costs are negligible: for less than the cost of a military foray,
enough troops or policemen can be trained—or factory workers, civil servants,
or students at one or more universities—that a marked and demonstrable effect
of peace will be seen immediately.
To address the immediate crisis in Europe, all that is needed is that a
government or military leader of any European country designates an
appropriately sized group of participants (approximately the square root of 1%
of the national population—800 people for France, for example) who could be
trained in the relevant, brain-based, peace-promoting technologies. Then GUSP
will organize to provide the necessary training.
Once implemented, the results will be:
∙ A demonstrable, marked reduction in terrorism and social violence within 60
days;
∙ Growth of harmonious relations among all parts of the country or region;
∙ With restored order, improved economic and social trends within the country
or region; and
∙ As an added side benefit, improved health, readiness, and resilience of all
those participating in the project.
To ensure long-term peace in the European Union, every nation in the EU should
create and maintain a coherence-creating group of the appropriate size.
The time to act is now.
