(42,674 posts)I think successful co-existence could exist in a framework of basic rights. Start with something like Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Once the minimal for survival is considered satisfied, building on those needs would lead to healthier competition, which doesn't have to be greedy disruptive and destructive behavior, but rather a catalyst for the mind.
What is very necessary, in my opinion, and a for instance, is to co-exist with what's left of environmental culture, if we don't stop fucking with the ecosystems, we will pay, are already paying, a price far higher that what ensures survival.
Once you stop ensuring basic needs, or deny the need to co-exist with the environment in a healthier way. the question of co-existence is moot. Survival is essential to ponder existential questions.
So yes to all three parts of your question.
