Do you think the human race will ever reach a point where war is obsolete?

No, humans are inherently territorial and will always have a violent streak to our nature. Despite this, further economic development, especially development which benefits wider society, can mitigate the risks of war by making people feel more comfortable and less distrustful of sharing land and resources.

No. So long as humans have free will and things they desire or own conflict will be present. Extend this to a community of any size and you have war.

No unfortunately. I'd love to see that but I don't think enough people in the power agree.

with men in power and the main objective being either wounded pride, land, money or opposing opinions, wars will never stop happening.

No, I believe there will always be tensions across the world. However I want it to be obsolete.

War is our nature. Until the human condition evolves, no.

No. Humans seem to conveniently forget the horrors of war and there will always be people in power who are greedy, self serving and power hungry.

No. Regrettably, part of base human nature is envy. From envy people begin to take what they want, and eventually they are willing to kill and war over what they want and what they believe to be 'right'. We can make efforts to reduce the productivity of nuclear arms and attempt to promote global compromises, however there will always be a hierarchy supported by war.

No. I think major societal change is required. We'd be dead before war becomes obsolete, before the required changes happen. People are too greedy, corrupt and power hungry.

No, there will always be war and conflict, it can't be avoided it. But we should find how to solve it quicker with talks before we head to action

it's unlikely, but it would be good if we could reach a point where we have worldwide peace

No, humans have had war since the beginning of time, it is wrong but conflict is something that i do not see being resolved ever, people are selfish and always want more

Probably not although it would be ideal if there was no war

That is the desired outcome, but it highly unlikely. That said we have a duty to minimise it as much as possible

No, although what war looks like will continue to change in the future.

No, there will always be reasons for war, despite most of those reasons being ridiculous and completely unnecessary. War should be obsolete, but it never will be, the human race will wipe themselves out with stupidity.

I hope so, but sadly i don’t think so, there will always be people that believe in violence and a need for war, and many of these people are in power

It is important to strive for a world without war, however it is somewhat unrealistic to think that all conflicts will be stopped. Conflicts may continue however our reactions to humanitarian crisis' can improve to keep innocent people safe again.

no, humans are territorial creatures and war is inevitable.

No, polarisation of beliefs will always end in violence

i think it is important to reach for a world that has no war, yet that idea is nearly unrealistic, i think we need to focus on humanity as a whole

I would like to hope that war stops however I think if we keep having the same types of people in government (usually rich, white, old, petty men) war will never end which is not what I would want, we need better world leaders

No. There will always be bad actors. Petty, selfish people will always value their own personal gain more than the lives of those they are murdering.

I would like to hope that we will, as a global society, one day reach the point where war is obsolete.

Violence is an inherent part of humanity so I don't think it will ever go away. Achieving peace as consistently as possible is always the way to go and to always look for the most peaceful solution. But as long as one state has an army, ours must to. But an army must only be for self defence, not interference in foreign wars. Not our place to do so.

Possibly, but it would require technological or political developments that are beyond our ability to conceptualise at the moment.

I believe it could but it would likely take a long time

No I think there will always be war humans disagree all the time

Education and understanding different walks of life can prevent war

No, evolutionary pressures will always predominate and even in post scarcity societies, population booms will eventually exhaust resources, leading to conflict. Stability is unlikely to ever be the norm of an epoch, much less the norm of all future epochs.

No, war will always be powerful and impactful and will remain the main way the oppressed fight against the oppressor or how the oppressors oppress those who were initially free.

Yes. I think more people are starting to be vocal about their anti war views especially with social media. I think governments of democratic nations are pressured by the people more often, due to more awareness & activism in the newer generations, so I believe war being obsolete one day is possible.

Sadly no, and I do believe that the ratio of civilian-to-military deaths will continue to increase. The threat of nuclear war poses a greater threat than ever.

No I don't, there is too much of an economic incentive to keep war in the spotlight, especially when it comes to trade and arms dealing.

No, there will always be a reason for one culture to want to hurt another - this is human nature.

Never, children are more able to end arguments than adults.

no , we crave the desire of greed too much in all aspects down to money and wanting more and more each time even if it will hurt someone we just dont care as a society anymore .

War will only be obsolete if the human race reaches a point where logic and diplomacy are at the forefront, and prejudice and religion are removed from the equation.

I think it’s too late. So long as there are weapons and unhinged people who seek power, war will happen.

I would like to say yes we can we are capable of that ,Yet human nature through historical legacy shows that we are not capable at present of harmony ,The system we have that controls our very existence is geared for WAR. Until we change the system by which we in our daily lives we exist we will perpetuate war continually,History shows us the path to the future .The way things are does not mean that they cannot change ,It means we need to change as a populous mentally in order to enact change worldwide, From within we will the outwardly & only then will be ready to move forward knowing…  Read more that peace is with us ....Remove the fiscal system of money as we know it ,is the first step .... 2nd is the ability of the leading classes to acknowledge that we are all the same ,mostly liquid with a skin covering ..... only then will peace be possible .I fear peace will come when we are at time when nature has no more to give & by then it will be to late for peace will have no one to be shared with.....

No, humans are greedy and I do not believe they will ever learn to live in peace because the temptation of greed drives them too much
