It wouldn't mean anything. Peace is a humanistic realization, without humans it can't be realized.

You seem remarkably ignorant (no surprise there) about human nature.

The point being that peace doesn't require humans, it only requires intelligent conscious agents.

I know humans (or most of them, anyway) don't naturally want peace. Even if they pretend to want peace, in their personal lives, they usually still want some kind of drama, in the background. But I think people can be taught to want a more complete peace.

Right. In other words, humans.

Then why hasn't it happened? Large-scale violence seems to be so ingrained in us that it appears to be an intrinsic part of human nature. If we ever move past our fondness for war, we'll have become some other than human. Homo novus, perhaps.
