This planet provides more than enough resources for all of us to be taken care of. Once we mature from a child species into actual problem solvers, discussions like this will seem silly because the one logical thing will be to help people in need. And Empathy is more than just an idea. Its a thing that humans who aren't completely broken inside by hate and money worshiping can feel.

I love your sentiment even if I laugh at your naiveity. People who think hate and greed can just end like that. Good luck.

Why I find these arguments so annoying is that they solve NOTHING. That's got nothing to do with the here and now.. 2016, the time we live in.

In 2016 people are starving, they are race and religious tensions and a whole lot other stuff going on. How the hell telling me about the future is going to help the situation. We could all be nuked to hell and back by then.

OT: You seriuosly think taking kids from one culture and forcing another culture on them - most likely against their parents wishes, is the solution. OK. May work. i doubt it.

The idea that we have to solve things in the future isn't absolute.   The opportunity exists in the here and now.  In 2016.  Yes, it is naive to assume that we as a collective would suddenly at once realize that obvious answer. But, I think that important to acknowledge the fact that it a way. I can't help but to believe in people lol.
