@BrianSoddingBoru4 ofc, it's not all we fight about and it doesn't satisfy lots of emotional needs, etc... blah blah blah, but I don't think you can deny that solving clothes, food, shelter/space wouldn't make our species better as a whole. Why better, less conflict. Less need for revolutions and more time for sharing of ideas and discussion and shaping the way a society thinks.
I don’t deny that at all. Unlimited resources would clearly lessen the need for violence, including violent revolution.
On the other hand, unlimited resources would also increase the ability for people and States to engage in violence - if you know that you’re never going to run out of bullets, why not go ahead and invade your neighbour because you don’t like his flag?
