OK, great, so we're special snowflakes that a perfect space daddy made us all special and unique because he loves us sooooo much. 

Either way, we're still fucking morons by and large unfortuantely. Human history shows pretty repeatedly what happens when there are two "superpowers" that are about evenly matched. 

Go read some books. Before saying bold words on forums.

Point remains. Show me a period in human history where two divergent "superpowers" co-exised peacefully like two teenage girls at a Jusin Bieber concert. It doesn't happen. That's not human nature, it might be individually, but we are bunch of fucking idiots when you pair us up into large enough tribal groups. 

We're a violent species. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. So excuse me if I'm skeptical of this dual superpower "utopia" where we all just hold hands. Don't see it happening. The 90s/2000s aren't without their problems, but they're a hell of a lot safer in the grand scheme of things than the 60s/70s/80s, and then you have the gong show of the 10s/20s/30s/40s with the two World Wars. We really only avoided World War III (Cuban Missle Crisis) by dumb luck, a brave Russian sub operator disregarded an order to fire on a US ship during the Cuban Missle Crisis, if he hadn't done that the chain reaction would've been stunning, nuclear war was pretty much a gaurunteed certainty.
