    actually we don't know it isn't going to happen. we know a lot of people think they get something out of preventing it.
    not the same thing at all.

    and it will happen, for a reason even more people don't want.

    we're all going to be very sick, and most who aren't already dead will die from it,
    and those who survive, will be few and not very interested in making wars
    nor have the capacity to do so on anything resembling today's scale.

    this will result from what we have already done to the environment.

    Everyday when you're walking down the street, everybody that you meet
    Has an original point of view
    And I say HEY! hey! what a wonderful kind of day!
    Where you can learn to work and play
    And get along with each other

    World peace will require the next scientific revolution to achieve which should start sometime in the next twenty years, but will require at least a century just to get well under way and, perhaps, four hundred to become a mature science and few thousand years after that before all the discoveries are applied to the world. Some 12,000 years ago with the invention of agriculture primitive tribes noted that civilization was organized along the lines of a flock of chickens with Three Stooges slapstick and Gonzo the Muppet providing comedic examples. The primitive tribes tended to be even more violent, but on much smaller scales that didn't threaten the entire planet as we do today. What is required to overcome the problem is a better understanding of the systems logic involved and next generation computers that can crunch numbers as large as those the human brain does routinely. Imagine, for example, that your cellphone can access an AI with what is comparatively the intelligence and compassion of a God. Such technological trends are already in motion and, for example, you can already buy a cellphone that works as a lie detector. Next they will begin acquiring an outrageous sense of humor and other contextual awareness and ways of expressing emotions that can help to elevate the mindless masses above reactionary politics.

    To have peace one must acknowledge violence. Dualism is like a coin flip it and you never know which way it will land, however the opposition is always there. The accepted idea of world peace is wondrous yet to my mind it is singularly unachievable.

    dualism is also however, an arbitrary and invented conceptualization, nothing in the observable universe requires.

    all bets are off when everyone you know is dying of diseases no one has ever heard of and there aren't enough of you still alive to pump oil or mine coal.

    also y2k earth was on the brink of world peace, which is the real reason 'conservative' politics insisted on 9-11 to prevent it,

    because the one percent loosing money on arms sales was more important then the majority of people's lives.

    probably the real reason kennidy was killed too. at any rate these were conscious decisions which no 'cosmic balance' motivated nor required.

    nearly all national scale conflicts have political or economic roots which can be seen and which people who do not hate logic or consideration can foresee and avert.
