Hi Rivanna,
"If the world were free of poverty, hunger, and disease, would there be peace and cooperation? does technology have the capacity to change the tribal mindset that leads to conflict and violence? "
I think that, yes, technology had the capacity a long time ago. But technology is a tool for evil as well as good, and sadly, evil is in coltrol and had been. However, 'good' just might be the Jedi of Star Wars, and I think it's gaining strength because of the internet.
I think it's going to take much effort to free the world of the evil grasp, but once it's done, yes, i believe we an overcome poverty,hunger and disease. But easier said than done.
The only way that will happen is if people turn off mainstream media and start researching on the internet.
We are headed into a major catastrophic situation which will leave our population struggling to stay alive.
Good news is that good guys have that technology as well as bad guys. this is what is encouraging to me.
May the force be with you.
