All that means is humans can invent to construct and invent to destroy. It is still up to humans what we chose.
What it means is that - while I don’t like war any more than the next fella - most people fail to recognize the very real humane benefits of war-derived technology.

In evolutionary terms, competing over resources is what war really is ultimately. There was a time long ago when there was room to expand. But today there is not, and humans hide behind issues of ideology and politics and religions, and those are really excuses to ignore we are the same species.
If more humans learned to hate war and accept we are the same species, and especially now, we live in an age of mutual destruction, the better off we will be.
I think Sagan's view is a far better goal now especially with our nukes now.
