Could such a thing as peace --- proper, true, complete peace, if it were ever achieved --- cause humanity to stagnate and even die out? Do we, as many have conjectured down the ages, need war to survive, to keep our instincts sharp, to assure the survival of the fittest and the most cunning?

Short answer: Yes, but (1) we can use our brains to make decisions that go against our nature, (2) we have evolved technologically at a much faster rate then we can genetically so given enough time we can probably evolve past our current genetic predisposition if we live in a place/time where it's not longer necessary for our survival.
Edit: Sorry if this has been covered but I don't have time to read all the responses atm.

I used to see it on this board all the time and it was hilarious. Women this, sister that, but when a new chick would join oh no we were skeptical, some would talk ****, and others would try to run the new female off.
We can't treat eachother properly, so until we can actually do that. I dont give a damn what the oppisite sex sees or thinks about "our plight". Once "we" learn how to treat eachother on a daily basis then we can worry about the oppisite sex and how they keep us down. Because "we" are still keep ourselves down.

Men do the exact same thing. Do you think they hold themselves down?
