I mean, we as a society could stop world hunger in roughly two to 3 months with a solid plan, if all the 1st world countries pulled together.

We as a society could pump serious money into renewable energy and AD plants to fuel global transport, electricity generation etc.

We as a society could build much more schools and housing to educate and home every single person in the world & give the appropriate attention to teachers and not have them scrape by.

We as a society can make untold strides in the medical field, practical implementation & research and make all treatments cost effective for our societies (ex insulin)

But in each instance we won't. Simply because this world is ran by pieces of paper & the greed behind making the most paper as possible.

Ultimately yes, we are killing the world and the chances our offspring has to live on planet earth to their fullest. And humans, we will cut our nose of to spite our face. We are a cancer and ironically if we don't keep AI in check.

It will most likely be our downfall amidst a myriad of other factors that will lead to our downfall.

World hunger isn't something that can just be solved. The problem isn't a lack of food, it's the logistics of getting food everywhere, even in regions in active conflict ruled by warlords. The rest of your examples are good.

You just proved him right. Warlords are there for the gain of riches no matter if it is minarals, labor, land or resurses.

I took the "we" to mean the west.
