But let's keep trying anyway.

Life is a struggle. If it were all peaceful we would be dead. The peace that people need to look for is within themselves. They need to stop beating themselves up, arguing with themselves, wondering who the real enemy is. And then get on with it. But you have to do your own work here - it never works to follow someone else's solution. You might be inspired by others, but the work is all yours.

Wankity wank.

I assure you, when there are no living things left on Earth we will have world peace.

Is there peace on Mars? Peace is an evaluation. Without cognitive life there's no evaluation, no 'world', no 'peace'. If/When there are no living things left on Earth, Earth will just ... be.

Precisely. I can think of no better definition of peace than the complete and utter absence life.
Life is, at least on this Earth, by its very nature Chaotic, competitive. Even on the abstract level we may get rid of war, but we will never have peace, as there will always be someone who "knows better".

Hopefully we will get rid of fighting between human tribes just in time to face the vicious aliens, still with the skills and hardware we have developed by fighting amongst ourselves...
