What you need is to add yourself into the 'wheel' group.  Origins of

[War] is instinctive. But the instinct can be fought. We're human beings
with the blood of a million savage years on our hands! But we can stop
it. We can admit that we're killers ... but we're not going to kill
today. That's all it takes! Knowing that we're not going to kill today!
