We don't think the two people in this picture are really fighting. We think they're just two friends who've decided to pick up some sticks and mock-up a photo. We can't deny that it makes for a pretty epic shot though - although apparently not epic enough for one of the people who's in it. They wanted Fridman to make this a battle scene for the ages. We don't know what they had in mind; and nor, it seems, does he.
In the times of our ancestors, a battle on the beach would involve broadswords. If it were science fiction, it would be a lightsaber. As it's the 21st century, the most likely stick-sized weapon that anyone would have to hand is a selfie-stick. Of course, once people have selfie-sticks in hand, they lose interest in fighting and just start taking pictures of their own faces instead. Peace has broken out here, at the point of a camera!
