>Are we as a human race doomed to continual animal like conflicts?
We are animals.
>We as a human race haven't figured out a solution to prevent wars yet after 100,000 years?
We have, but the only viable solution - nukes - also kills us too.
>Are we still that hopelessly primitive as a species?
All of us start out as primitive babies.
Some of us are privileged to grow up in safe towns run by responsible civil servants, with responsible parents, who send them to institutions of higher education or valuable trades so they can secure a respectable position society.
Some of us grow up with no school, no parents, no society, and all the hate in the world.
If you torture any mammal, it bites back. Until we learn to invest in the wellbeing of others we are cursed to deal with other humans who grow up to become cruel leaders or their henchmen.

Until we learn to invest in the wellbeing of others we are cursed to deal with other humans who grow up to become cruel leaders or their henchmen. Exactly. Seems like ultimately the solution is to reduce inequality and increase opportunity around the world.
- refurb 7y agoThere will always be wars. Unless you can get every human being on the planet to agree to something, people will resort to violence to get what they want.
