I think there’s two answers to this question, obviously yes and obviously no.
Obviously yes: Some people’s definition of peace is an authoritarian version of peace. There’s a dictator who makes the law and keeps the peace and dissent is squashed. I imagine if you had enough AI robots around you could make this kind of peace.
Obviously no: I think this raises the question of is world conflict a natural state of things or a problem to be solved, and also, is conflict mostly based on political boundaries and I think the answer to both questions is no. I think that conflict is sort of a natural state of things and I think abortion is a great example. There’s no 220 IQ take that “solves” abortion. And I think that conflict often develops from social, ethnic or religious boundaries rather than political ones.
- squircle 2y agoYep/nope, I agree. AI world government is a terrible idea. Edit: Peace leads to stagnation/stasis. Stasis is death. Nature does not work this way. Make chaos. (No, I'm not advocating violence, especially when it comes to human sacrifice.) Balance, fun, frivolity.
