Tear down the modern world, replace it with space-faring, fully automated infrastructures that don't require human up-keep, but can provide for all human needs.

I mean if just a few superpowers did that for their civilians it would not be difficult for those caught in savage conflicts, under threat of groups like Isis, to be provided an exodus by these super-powers' collective military might.

Liberated from slavery, social class, work, and business - humans will turn to the things that matter, learning, understanding each other.

From time to time jealousy or disregard may lead to terrorism, but even in a techno-anarchy of perfect looking biological immortals there is a sense of balance keeping everything good.

As crazy as that sounds, it would take longer to build than it would to develop scientifically and technologically enough, from our current state, to design. As a society, due to Moore's Law, a singularity may be reached and we may have the sophistication to engineer such an infrastructure within 8 decades!

Hostile alien invasion. If we get a common enemy, for a time, we'll realize we're all one humanity, that race and nationality are simply superficial socially derived conventions, and we stand a better chance of prolonged survival and peace if we work together for the common good of all humans.

But then we'd defeat the aliens and revert back to tribalism and bullshit, with a new extraterrestrial lower class.

Or an alternative (and this is the basis of a scifi series I intend to create at some point in the future), after humanity makes first contact with aliens and attempts to join a wider interstellar community they're forced to unite because there's a sort of norm observed by most of the alien powers that (for a lot of reasons) you never do business with a species that's split into dozens of governments and diplomatic recognition is all but impossible for a single nation state. That plus the aforementioned threat of alien invasion.

Nice, i like that post.

I think the alien thing just pushes the question out further. Sure, it might create world peace, and probably has a better chance to work than other ideas proposed in this thread. But then the issue isn't really world peace, is it? It becomes interstellar peace.

It's like solving tribal wars by turning them into wars between countries. It's not actually a peaceful solution, though it's a small step in the right direction...that direction being, peace between all sentient creatures in a given system, be it planetary or interstellar.

It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside whether you're white or black or sasquatch even. As long as you follow your dream no matter how crazy or against the law it is, except for Sasquatch. If you're Sasquatch, the rules are different.

So, you are suggesting anarchy, except for Sasquatches?

Sadly, people may die, but stupid is forever. No long lasting peace can be achieved i think, it's unrealistic, there are always going to be people who disagree with one another and there are always going to be wars. It's sad, but even school/mass/public shooting have become common - so much so, that we give a speech about how terrible it is, but do nothing about it. It sucks, but that's life.

hmm what a depressing point of view i have.

Who would ever want world peace? I don't want world peace; I want world harmony. I want a party!

We are humans, and we will always have problems. The correct answer is to find harmonious answers to those problems. I want a world were the word war has no meaning.

You have me with a dad 35 years older and a young-looking mom who isn't really Caucasian. I remember in high school, the kids who messed up would be politically groomed by their parents. It's a wonder they got anything done. embarrasment People tell kids who happened to be born in the mid-80s that they weren't good enough for people born around 1960 and the late 1950s. Now, we see those people, called Late Boomers, tightly conversing with their children, comforting them when down. My dad is a vicious animal to me. It is clear people born around 1997-8 get everything they could ever want without doing anything. Their parents do it for them. They are even sexier than the Middle Boomers. My mom used to confide with me after having problems in school to get better. I think it became too personal, like I was set for this. With me, my mom being able to confide with me is like having a princess for a mom born in however a supposedly early time, or am I just something to be experimented on? Like, it was special, but I mean think of the people born in 1990. They actually played around and were like dolls that did things we can never do. Come 1995-ish, these children actually feel loved by Late Boomers. It's not just putting on a show, like JonBenet Ramsey.

So, my point is that peace in the nation and similar countries is based on generation of kids from Generation X and beyond..

riv6672
Being born in '68, i find that pretty interesting!

Chris 1986
We have the same numbers in our birth year. Thank you, I'm glad you like that. I just feel frustrated. I just posted a bunch of what it was in my blog, and it was to do with this topic but in a way I don't like.

embarrasment Well, I just "find kids annoying" but cared about them when I had a normal life. It's so hard being how I am. I have to get back into college and get a degree in General Studies, only 6-9 classes left.

Moreover, I mean, that's just how it is for me. I feel so mentally abused, whereas these kids are being encouraged yet upset at things that aren't perfect for them. I'll learn more as I get out into the world. I actually might be accepted to be an extra in a movie. It's $850/day. $700 for modeling, like $2000 maybe for a commercial.

Did you ever dream you were younger? From what I understand, I'm young enough to be like that, but instead I'm stuck at home doing nothing for awhile. The agency is hurrying me on, though, was supposed to call today but had to run, got my hamster some new bedding.

I guess my other issue is my race. I don't feel that fair having a Chinese mom, actually Chinese-Indonesian. I can try to get lighter to make myself happy. Like, lying in a tub flushes you out more. I talked to someone with a real Indonesian mom, and she is fair, like white. His dad is Indian. My mom was more tan and gray.

The world is just battling being raised by what generation and things that they think will come up and so they take it out on us. I am glad to hear of the joy in your year! Mine's cool. Guess I would be concerned about the younger generations. I just don't wanna get close sometimes with adults or they don't do it the right way.

I know, you know all the good stuff, too. I love Logan's Run.

Sorry my writing isn't all that great. Sometimes, it is. sad I hope it's okay.

Thanks so much for your compliment! cool I guess the world means something to you! I would love to be accepted as a person, too.

You'll have to excuse my incoherence, i had a recent family emergency and am running on very little sleep.
I kind of know where you're at in regards to your mom.
My dad had blond hair and green eyes. Me, not so much. I learned early though, i couldnt help how i was born but i have a say in how i live.

Still, cant say i've always been comfortable in the skin i'm in....

Chris 1986
Thanks! Yea, she is fair for a Chinese-Indonesian, "like a blonde." I feel she wanted me to be dark, though. I was always worried about myself. I don't remember being the center of attention..

Yea, my dad has actually black hair and blue eyes.

I guess we're ont he same boat.

I love your sig! I watch war movies and like that kinda stuff when I get around to it.

You know, on this topic, people are so picky that people born in 1997-8 get everything, like kids born in the 80s were tricked. I wasn't a part of things in the 70s, I mean, and into the 80s. I do love the early 90s, those kids with big visions who probably have older moms or moms born right after about 1950. My icon is like Free Willy. That says a lot to my generation and a bit older. I remember now, people born around 1960 and the late 1950s get it all, but everyone else has to earn it. Like, if we want to be considered the 1 in the sexy long-sleeved dress, we have to earn our way somehow. We don't get petted for nothing. People born around 1950 didn't have what people born around 1960 have, so I guess it's just a safeguard so as no one gets hurt that we have to be good enough to be a certain way that 1 generation is by protocol, which I do not understand. I would just say I was better, and I'd just be "in with the old men" on that. I would never be considered as good as someone born in the 1960s or late 1950s. I'd have to earn it, see, whereas people born then already have that feel to them, like being juicy little kids with the most of a bundle of energy and feeling of being loved. They mess up, then, though, but get to be the way everyone finds the most refined and overall best. They never do anything else, and we never get to do that. I don't like it that way.

I hope this was okay, too, had a hard time organizing my thoughts but hope to improve.

Thank you so much for listening.

riv6672
No worries, these are things i think about sometimes.
The 70s for me werent really under my control. The 80s were my decade to figure me out. The 90s were me learning how much i'd gotten wrong.
Cue the new millennium, and things just got more complex...

Chris 1986
I can already see how they started out in the flower generation and things starting getting high. People born around the late 1950s and around 1960 must have been in ecstasy, whether or not they knew, and had it secured that their kids if they had them would be better than people like me.

My dad figured things out int he 1970s. He was born in 1950. The 1980s were like the family time. I loved that time. We needed to have it. I am about an age I could chose to be like I was just born in 1997-8. They, however, get treated with so much pleasure.

The 00s were a great time! People were so triumphant for a new day. Let's look to the 2020s early. E he he he.

So...no other cultures wrote books?

Anyhow, facts are a facts thing. You telling me, or even more amusingly, yourself, that other cultures werent conquering each other, or even themselves, taking slaves, and such?

Atilla the Hun, Genghis Kahn, Ashoka, Thutmose, Idi Amin, Cyrus, Chi'in Shih Huang, Sekou Toure, were either all white people, OR, Presidents of the United States, OR, their idea of "bein off to themselves enjoying themselves" is defined as conquering everything they could lay their hands on, raping, pillaging, enslaving, everyone they could, most times starting with their own people.

We are incapable of sustaining world peace. The best we can hope for is that we, as a species will always aspire to have world peace. We will never achieve it and that's probably good but as long as it remains a dream we will probably be able to find ways to co-exist.

People dont take kindly to that.

Both approaches, actually, any world wide wide shake up of science, religion, and energy resources will not be peaceful.
The OP just seemed/seems to me as well, are-tarded and heavy handed. Saying screw the system instead of working within it to effect change.
Why alienate a potential ally in organized religion when you're going to be making enemies on so many fronts regardless?

When people treat all religions are same.

Dramatic Gecko
End to Religion, end to countries and the development of the most ambitious plan ever: Global Society. An Infrastructure that spans the globe and we all unite under the same banner.

The only two ways I see this happening: Alien contact (unlikely right now), or the formation of an Atheist extremist group who rallies a large following and sets out on its first goal, the elimination of Religion. After some research I am sure of one thing. Religion is fake. All Religion is bullshit. Ideology is real, such as treat as others how you would like to be treated, but the idea of Gods and the divine in general is fictional! So I would like to see the hostile take over of the world, ending Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddh- okay we can keep Buddhists, their so cute. And after everyone is on the same page. We are all equal, there are no infidels, no savages, no heathens. We can live in peace where our only enemies are massive crime organisations, the robot threat and Aliens who we repeatedly try to enslave.

Ok... there are probably heaps of holes in this plan. But I shall continue and act as if it is ironclad.
