Would it be worth it?

[*Deidre*]

There would be no personal growth if we lived in a utopia. While it seems like it would be an improvement, to remove suffering basically out of the human condition, it would actually create new problems, because you can't grow without adversity. (unfortunately)

We wouldn't be removing all suffering, though. Or perhaps what you're thinking of is struggle, purpose. We would still be able to strive for things like higher education, or athletic competition, or other recreational pastimes. As long as we find meaning in our lives we wouldn't stagnate. With everyone able to access new heights of education, of course we'd find new discoveries and things to study, maybe even start moving off-world. If all you're doing is removing that which bars us from reaching that, I don't see how that could lead to what you're suggesting. Boredom would just lead us to find something new to take interest in, and raise our ambitions if we can't find anything stimulating in that which we already know, thus forging ahead with new discoveries.

If we did reach a peak (unrealistic) where we knew everything there is to know, then we'd probably have become some uber-being beyond anything we could imagine ourselves becoming. But in the meantime, I'd take knowing that I'd never hear another gunshot in my neighborhood over having trouble sleeping wondering what Trump is going to do next.

The thing is, war in and of itself isn't the main problem, it's what drives people to go to war to begin with that is the problem, so in many cases that involves greed, psychopathic behavior, fear, love of power, etc. So, you'd have to ''cure'' that, and then when you do, wars, hate and violence would all stop.
