The factor of technological advancement must be taken into account. A fully cooperative humanity committed to the elimination of all forms of suffering can get at its disposal technological means with a power as unimaginable today as our current technology could have been unimaginable to the wise Aristotle more than two thousand years ago.
True. But I think that’s more of an argument that the future is uncertain (which ofc is a relevant argument). But even with the technology I don’t necessarily think we’ll have a majority interested in eliminating all forms of suffering (especially in the wild) or mass producing happiness.
