We have built within us a need to fight for survival. Natural selection has bred us to constantly be fighting for the top. When we get there we have no idea what to do with it.
We need something to fight against, that’s why we all love under dog stories.
Uhm, no. I am fine with my belly full, a place to sleep and a confidence that within foreseeable future no big bad thing is looming over me or my family - with that settled, I have no need to fight.
It needs to be said that the above does not mean I am not going to out effort in things beyond that scope, but those efforts come from the desire to make the word a better place, not from some fighting
No, it means that your society is not homogenous and most of the time people do not feel themselves as part of it.
Feeling a part of something has nothing to do with homogeneity, it has to do with empowerment.
What you’re describing frankly sounds like ethnonationalism.
You’ve got it backwards. Society doesn’t work without a looming threat, whether that’s an enemy or the environment.
How so?
Unless your “enemy” is “anything that most people see as a source of suffering/pain/other kind of unpleasantness”, I do not see how your statement can be true. And even then it is still a dumb way to exist
