Conflict can arise not only from misalignment but also from misjudging the relative strengths of opposing forces or holding strong commitments that make parties unwilling to trade.

“But that's actually not what the literature on what causes conflict says creates conflict.”

“It's not just misalignment. It's also other issues like not being able like being having bad understanding of the relative strengths of your armies versus theirs or maybe having these very strong commitments that you think some.”

“some grounds or secret and so you're not willing to do any trade in order to give up some of that in order to gain something else and so then you have to posit some additional things other than just the base value”
