Zero Complexity: A Philosophy of Peace
Humanity has pursued peace for millennia, yet division persists-between nations, religions, and individuals. We enforce laws, negotiate treaties, and promote tolerance, but private prejudice endures beneath the surface. Why do our deepest conflicts remain unresolved?
Zero Complexity reveals that genuine peace requires more than compromise or coexistence-it demands a shared understanding of reality itself. Robin Mains demonstrates that the very doctrines meant to unite us often perpetuate division: when scripture is deemed infallible, persuasion becomes impossible. When God judges by creed rather than character, discrimination becomes doctrine. When divine authority replaces democratic dialogue, peace remains forever out of reach.
Through rigorous logic and profound insight, Mains shows that the belief in a creator God is not merely unsupported but structurally impossible-and that recognising this truth opens an unprecedented path to human unity. He offers religious communities a way forwards: maintain your faith, your rituals, your relationship with the divine, but abandon the hierarchy that places God above humanity and some humans above others.
From this foundation emerges a complete philosophy of peace: one where emotion grounds morality, where deep persuasion transforms conflict, where democracy becomes the only system capable of lasting harmony. Integrating metaphysics, ethics, and politics into a unified vision, Zero Complexity provides both the philosophical justification and practical framework for a world where truth serves as common ground and our shared humanity transcends inherited division.
