I like this 'socratic' approach. 🫂

Well I rectify: "Coercion and violence are in our DNA, except in the one of @zoomoutpls"

Did you want a serious academic reply or was it just a provocation as i interpreted?

Michele, you are not "we", you are just you.

Mankind has yet to prove what it is made of.

One thing is what history tells us about ourselves.

The other is how we organize ourselves for the future so that - assuming your theory is even fractionally true - we don't repeat the mistakes of the past.

You /we are here on nostr.

Technology can be an aid to this.

Nothing is set in stone. Not even our DNA.

If I provoke, then only to make ppl think.

Academic? Gladly. But we are in the middle of quicksand in the very area you are talking about.

Socratic method. I like it.

Well, mankind is taking a lot of time to prove I'm wrong. 😅

Probably I'm pessimistic by default but I can't really see how technology can solve all of ours problem. Expecially 'spiritual' one WITHOUT changing completely our biological nature.

Changing our biological nature is a perilous project. For every one way of doing it right, there are probably 10,000,000 ways of doing it wrong. And if it is done under the current crop of "leaders" we have, the probability of disaster is a guaranteed 100 per cent.

Agree. Mine was a paradoxical statement. If you change human nature we aren't humans anymore but something. So we should deal with our imperfect and faulty nature of potentially violent creatures.
