I think a lot of people won't be free of the whole dynamic of "I need to say things I don't truly believe, lest I be abandoned" until we live in a world where pissing off everyone doesn't entail risk to one's survival? The part of the mind that's thinking about survival isn't always rational.

I guess I say this to say, though, that we should set our sights higher than quantitative improvements to the world, or even just qualitative improvements that fall within current humans' comprehension? We might never get to see a world that's permanently, irrevocably advanced beyond violence and coercion, but we might as well start pushing in that direction for the sake of descendants of ours ten generations down the line.
