Shut up, Clayshulte.
I'm trying to say, yes, more technology is the answer. Not capitalism or dependence on fossil fuels.
More important than technology, intelligence and evolution is the true answer, and that lies in our radically evolving technology.
BAM! POW! SUCK IT!

Who?
That's a messy sentence.
Couldn't technology make us stupider and less likely to evolve (I assume you mean this in a higher state/consciousness, otherwise you don't understand evolution)? If we have super machines doing our thinking for us, why do we need to be smarter?
Go pick some berries.

"No! Practical Solutions! Dammit!"
well, the classic example is the redesign of, iirc, Chicago street cars so that they not only were safer, but more people could fit inside the car thus reducing fares while increasing service. Ideas like providing high speed internet infrastructure to engage people in direct democracy are highly technocratic.
Your solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict was "build an island city". The only problem that "build an island city" might be a practical solution for would be immense and immediate flooding, and still, a technocrat would almost certainly be more likely to suggest a system of pumps and drainage rather than the relocation of the entire human population...
Like, just to point out, you have offered the idea of island cities to end food scarcity. Think about that really hard.

Imagine what a technocrat that is superior to the entire human race would do to solve the problems of the human-robotic Utopian civilization in furthering its powers and technologies and intelligence.
At the OP, the answer to ALL human folly, the answer to every problem that currently exists for our little earth in our current state of being, is the eradication of humanity, via the elevation of humanity's conscious being. Transcendence, death and rebirth by pure science, not by the supernatural and unknown processes described by our religions.
Oliver, if one wished to solve all the problems of an entire government, such as the problem you just asked me a solution for, than that individual's best bet would be to offer a way to take every individual effected by said problem, out of the equation. How do you take away billions of people from the conflicts of their governments without intervening in governmental affairs? Provide access to a Utopia that can sustain an unlimited population without any struggle for resources.
You will find that not only all the people effected by the Israeli-Muslim Conflict will leave for a better world, but the people raging the conflict will follow in turn, forgetting about their petty differences and leaving it behind them.
I only said the cities would most likely be built in the ocean because, unlike the continents we occupy, the ocean has no governmental-territorial establishment. Neither does space. Utopias could be on the moon. The new technocratic nation will be built elsewhere, that is, if the current nations don't just become technocracies themselves.
To solve for Israeli-Muslim Conflict use, Process of Elimination Method, Singularity Style.
