Limiting future wars
It appears that territoriality arose to
protect food sources (see “The Social Conquest of Earth," E.O.Wilson), and group selection and ethics emerged as the successful way for
individuals within the group to retain food sources and retain their
territories, over other competing groups.
The overpopulated world seems to assure
more and more competition for food and other resources which means
more territorial battles. Also an abundance of food allowed the
relaxation and lowering of territorial standards which increased
populations density, and that increased disruptive competitions from
within.
Total imperial state control of
resources over large territories between often unlike people can only be
managed with great suppression and constant revolts, therefore,
cooperation in the form of many small states, or even ethnostates,
protected by a light, but strongly protecting federalism, seems like
the best way to prevent future battles for resources and territory.
Without the protecting federalism, imperialism and various attempts
at supremacy will try to overrun small states.
Better to have little squabbles from
little states, often along with cooperation and the sharing and
trading of some resources, where population control seems more
naturally structured by available resourceful within the boundaries
of the small states. The Founding Fathers of the United States Constitution seem to have had something like this in mind.
Beyond the evolutionary advantages in having a variety of small states, with dysgenic wars limited, progress toward Godhood can
continue in a variety of ways with an Ordered Evolution.
