Quote:A larger question I have philosophically is whether, as a modern society, we can ever get past the intentional set up of systems where individuals are put in competition for resources. It ultimately results in conflict.Can we eliminate the problem of scarcity? No.
Can we develop mechanisms for resolving conflicts that are relatively stable in the long run? Maybe. I hope so.
