What if we could all just teleport anywhere we wanted at any time, instantly!? Like most things of this sort, unfortunately, we exist in the real world where such a naive fantasy will stay as just that; a naive fantasy.
Is it so naive to believe that eventually, we as humans can eventually overcome our stone age instincts and stop slaughtering each other on a big enough scale to necessitate some amount of militarism?
I for one would be greatly disappointed if we could not achieve that eventually. In today's age, I agree that it's hardly possible, there are simply too many parts of the world without sufficient education or still in the grip of authoritarianism or religious fanatics, but once we've overcome that, it should surely be possible eventually?
... eh, maybe I'm just naive. But as MLK so nicely put it, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice, and I'd really like to believe that.
