Can humans evolve beyond war & conflict?

So after thinking what an amazing world that would be if it ever came into existence, then I began to wonder, maybe it shouldn't be that maybe we should have conflict and war. I know it sounds crazy, but bear with me here. As humans in order to grow, we need challenges. We need things to push us outside our comfort zones and to change on a larger scale, for a society or a culture to change, we need larger things to push us outside of our comfort zones

SHOULD we? Why haven't we?

We can't and shouldn't.

Good morning and thank you for posting this. I found this to be very interesting. I am a listener and firsttime poster have lots to say, but usually internalize instead of external. I think you're right. I think we are internally grained for war or conflict

Could everlasting peace be just as harmful as everlasting war? πŸ€”

Would there be a different sort of war and conflict that we could not foresee because we were just always in the middle of it. We were in the middle of this thing that we perceived to be bad and evil. That when we got on the other side of the grass and it was greener, we never thought for a second that this could be hazardous to our health eventually too. Maybe as humans, that was always the design was for us to never be fully satisfied with war or peace

Welcome! If not one thing, we'll invent another. @Sanspeur

It was a folk idea, apparently, and based on social realities as opposed to anything. Again, a classification in science. And if we can create something that becomes so much a part of our culture, even now, hundreds of years later, we don't have to have a set list of things that we always have conflict over

But each time someone embraces that belief system, it's almost like a new beginning. And then it cycles until there are times, maybe when conflict arises because of those belief systems. And, you know, we just keep going with that. And generation after generation, it's just sort of a rinse repeat, which is interesting in itself
