Your grandchildren will live in that world. And they will either be committed pacifists, or you won't have any surviving grandchildren. Those are the only two possible futures. Your grandchildren will be pacifists, committed to peaceful interactions in all personal, group, national and international settings. They will not do this out of idealism, or because they are angels, or live in a community of angels. They will eventually abandon their selfish short-term Realistic Social Darwinism, and come to see that thinking (and the actions that flow from it) as barbarism, much like today we see the Inquisition or the Crusades. They will Change Everything, because those who don't, will die.
I blame Gene Rodenberry for this... No scratch that. He never went this far. He always kept a strain of hideous, evil, flesh eating "barbarians" across the Neutral Zone in recognition of the immutable Law of DNA. <Hoo><Hoo>
In all seriousness though Jacob, assuming you are serious, this future you are forecasting has no basis in fact, and is clearly illogical. It may be a theology. It certainly is idealistic. But, like all articles of faith, it is founded on a fiction and denies the very stuff of which you are made.
Whether you like it or not you are a predatory destroyer of worlds. That's "humanity" per se. It isn't something you chose to be. Evolution simply "rewarded" your DNA's capacity for such conduct. You are stuck with it. You can't change this capacity of your DNA, but even if you could, the resulting creature would be no more "human" than your average chimpanzee or low-land gorilla. In effect what you propose would require the elimination of all "human" DNA which now exists on this or any other planet.
They will Change Everything, because those who don't, will die. ...The other choice is to be tossed on the ash-heap of history.
Come on now. Surely you forgot to add the "<vbg>'s" on this?!
Could it possibly be that your goal is to wipe out all humanity? Are you truly asserting that there is a real "Nirvana?" A place "humans" can "go" to avoid the "ash-heap of history" on which every human who has ever existed has been or will be deposited? I just don't get it.
