Re: World Peace
To me it is incomphrensible that we, as humanity, have not figured out a way to stop killing eachother.
Not to get all anthropological on you, but -
We have teeth for eating meat and the digestive system to support eating meat. That means we're by nature at least somewhat predatory.
Predators have aggressive tendencies.
The concept of human rights is really a very, very new idea (on a geologic scale).
Overcoming certain forces that are basic to our nature is by definition difficult.
"World Peace" may not be a pipe dream, but it's a massive undertaking. people fight over resources. How do you keep people from fighting over resources without coercing them?
I suggest you don't really understand the depth of the problem or even if it is a problem. I know I'm going to get flak because of my screen name for this, but if we human are warriors by nature why is peace a good thing?
