He decided to correspond with Sigmund Freud on the subject of avoiding war. In his letter, Einstein emphasized the importance of establishing an independent judicial body to mediate conflicts. Freud agreed but expressed skepticism, noting that "it is unlikely we will be able to suppress humanity's aggressive tendencies".
