The probability of war in a state of Utopia can be assured if it happens to be inhabited by human beings. Humans often yearn for greater things, just as explorers sought for something beyond the rainbow creating the need for sailing ships, which led to conflict and, thus, the enthusiasm for building stealth fighter jets, which would be pointless if unused ... would they not?
Ownership is a form of power and (as we know) ultimate power ultimately corrupts. The human animal is possessed of this characteristic much more than other animals and, therefore, finding a Utopia on this Earth is unlikely, unless ....
In the Utopia that I would have mastery over, there would be a major constitutional statement made, apart from the usual Freedoms, which would be the prohibition of any form of military conflict.
Ha, what a dreamer this guy is!
Well, I agree that the world is unprepared for such an idea today. Therefore, let us discuss a future possibility.
Obviously, a form of deterrent must be developed — remember, we are dealing with human beings — and policing would be necessary.
Thus, each country would have a defence system composed entirely of armed UAVs (drones) controlled by highly advanced intelligent computers with decision-controls unable to be overridden by humans, and capable of determining the probable type of any threat and dealing with it — purely as a defensive action, and incapable of escalating into an extended attack mode.
It is also assumed that a future U.N. should have full and fair powers, without any veto, throughout the world, that would mandate this idea globally. The result, hopefully, would be a world free from conflict and free from effective human interference.
