As late as the 1960s, children’s access to knowledge remained scarce—often confined to out-of-date encyclopedias gathering dust on a shelf. In contrast, the generation growing up today is immersed in AI-enhanced transparency, with access to cross-correlated truths that reveal the world in ways previous generations could barely imagine. This new generation, armed with a broader perspective, will naturally become far better leaders—guiding us toward peace and prosperity more effectively than today’s leaders, who remain trapped in less informed historic loops.

By reallocating the $2.7 trillion currently devoted to the global military industry, we could unlock an estimated $8 trillion or more in broader economic equity and job creation worldwide. This reallocation wouldn’t just fuel clean energy and infrastructure; it would also allow us to address critical social challenges like housing the unhoused. In other words, what is currently an expense could become a powerful engine of prosperity, creating millions of new jobs, providing homes for those in need, and building a more equitable and peaceful society.

As AI and renewable energy become the backbone of our global infrastructure, the economic incentives will shift. Nature-powered renewable intelligence will reveal that expanding markets, electrifying underserved regions, and including more of humanity in prosperity is simply more profitable than perpetuating old conflicts. In this future, the inevitability of peace isn’t just a dream but a logical outcome. The children born today, growing up with a global perspective and a deep sense and celebration of shared survival, will lead us toward a world where peace and prosperity are not just possible but inevitable.
