Imagine if all the effort that goes into development of new tools of murder would go into development of peaceful things, line mass transit, energy storage, space exploration, agriculture
I think about that a lot. If humanity chose to devote its collective ingenuity towards productive things we'd probably have moved off fossil fuels by now, have space habitats, and solved aging. The level of technology we have today would absolutely make it possible for us to become a space faring civilization. Instead, we just keep fighting each other while destroying our biosphere.
Agreed. Its infuriating that currently humanity has enough technological and scientific progress by now to become a very early-stage post-scarcity society, end aging and probably most death in general, ascend to the stars, and eventually crack faster-than-light space travel and one day become advanced enough to circumvent or prevent the heat death of the universe, but for now we're still goddamn stuck sucking Earth dry and blowing each other up for some rich cracker fucks.
