here's a thought experiment but it's really more of a personality test of fantasy vs reality
let's say they somehow make fusion happen next decade
so with "unlimited" "free" power do you think there will be
A - more peace
B - more war
To me it's pretty obvious.
When I was a teenager I hoped for a Star Trek future
But after the past decade especially, I realize that will never happen, that people will support suppressing and murdering thousands, millions of innocent people to feel a fake sense of satisfaction
The same reason that fake religion persists is the same reason why the human made part of climate change will never be solved
