How could it not lead to conflict? As far as we have seen, different groups always come into conflict. Humans have already driven thousands of species to extinction and show no signs of that ever changing. Maybe an advanced civilization has found a way to reliably enforce peaceful conflict resolution on diverse groups, but it's vastly more likely that an advanced civilization would treat us the same way we treat less powerful groups.
- bhouston 2y agoEven the same group as it gets bigger split into factions which fight against themselves. I think this is the nature of trying to have shared control of large groups - consensus just becomes hard and a lot of work. You either get factious fighting or a lack of freedom to have your own opinions. The middle ground where you agree to disagree but still compromise is hard.
