Hiroyuki Nakazawa attributes the conflicts to one single issue: energy. Energy is a very valuable resource. It is necessary for the world to function. It powers the world, moves people, and facilitates work and production. As such, energy is at the center of power struggles and is the subject of greed. Nakazawa urges people to produce a harmless, but still productive kind of energy in the form of art, literature, and music. All in all, contributing to culture and fine art is a far more productive, wholesome, and enriching use of energy that will foster traditional values and even solve other issues such as dropping birthrates.
