That's a silly analogy, if natural murder is analogous to cave paintings, modern war would be more suitably analogous to AI creations, not cubism. One cannot exist without the other either way. (we never get to AI slop without the cave painters before us)

Anyway, our planet is fundamentally violent, so of course we are violent. We know nothing else.

"Peace" is an ideal, and temporary, not the norm. Even as you look upon a quiet meadow, war is there should you pay attention. Maybe not for you at that point in time, but it's there. Those cute bunnies feed those adorable foxes, and so on.

Peace is when the oppressed can't fight back.

Er, sure. Fine.

Mmmmnot sure where you grew up but over here we knew a lot more than just violence. Good food, for example.

Glad there's no violence involved in the obtaining/creation of good food.
