I don't mean violence from the individual, but from the buckling of systems currently supported by society.
If everyone became enlighted simultaneously, we would probably help each other out, but it would cause a huge disruption in the global economy. Part of that economy is food, and it takes a while to grow a new crop... basically breaking supply chains can cause mass starvations, that's all.
- mistermann 7y agoAh I see....yes, from that perspective you are absolutely correct, I reckon mass enlightenment in a short period of time would wreak absolute havoc on the world and result in serious public unrest, likely including significant violence. Even if democracy could accommodate a transition, I have no idea how the impacts on the economic system (decreased spending on trillions of dollars in worldwide military budgets for example) would be safely managed.
