Dualism vs non dualism

I won’t be so bold to say that all human conflict is rooted in dualist vs. non dualist thought, but it seems to me that throughout history much of human conflict can be traced, in one way or another, to the differences between those schools of thought. It further seems to me that those differences are irreconcilable.

So what do y’all think?

Fascinating topic. By dualist, do you refer to Abrahamic religions?

All human conflict begins with duality and ends without it. That's how we got to be a global creature.

Well I wasn’t necessarily thinking strictly in terms of religions, but yes that could certainly be included. I should also say that many times these schools of thought aren’t always referred to with these particular terms. I’m thinking of a kind of “big picture” that includes the grey areas between these schools of thought as well.

Well let's see .... in some instances perhaps, Native Americans vs. Western colonists, or Western philosophy vs. Eastern philosophy. Again, I'm not meaning to imply that these instances are always stricly dualist or non dualist, but in more general terms.

Yes, I'm very much against male and female. That should be obvious.
