"And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."
We are the products of a chain of generation upon generation of peoples willing to coerce or force people to do something upon threat of violence.
Meaningful cooperation generated through persuasion or positive incentives seems to be the missing piece.

It's not like the formulas haven't been worked out and published 150+ years ago.
The people are simply blinded to the reality that we can mutually cooperate to our mutual benefit.
Competition benefits the most ruthless, merciless, and domineering amongst us.
Not character traits I see as beneficial.
