And peace is boring too, so when we're not actually shooting at each other we use the economy as a weapon. This is no different, if only we could evolve to a point where we were better at working together instead of destroying each-others work, we would achieve a lot more in the short time we're on this planet. I get that this isn't reality (today), but when people make statements like that of Boeing's CEO...it just feels like we're not even trying (which i think is rather pathetic). tl;dr; Jean Luc Picard wouldn't endorse this line of reason.

Competing to see who can build a better rocket first isn't destroying each others work (i.e., not even close to the same as war). It seems on the surface that working together instead of competing would be more productive, but have you ever tried to work on a mega huge engineering team? It's generally not more effective than a smaller team. So why not have several relatively smaller teams working on the same thing in parallel, egging (or even cheering) each other on as they go?
