"...people would for the most part compete by accumulation rather than by armed conflict."

The operative word being compete.

If people learned history, they would understand how far we've come. There is no need to go back to feudal times. Look at what the people of our grand parents or our great-grandparents had. The average Joe Six Pack in the western world has access to medical care that would appear miraculous to them, entertainment options that one could not exhaust in a lifetime; he can get on a jet an be almost anywhere on the planet in a day.

If the people of the western world could come to see that we're "here". Most anything people dreamed about materially from the beginning of time has been realized and surpassed. The granite countertops in a 500K RV are superfluous and that competition was won long ago.
