We already have the resources and technology to do this

But not the will. Because people are focused on building spaceplanes instead of focused on what matters.

Not at all. The people who are motivated by advancing technology, aren’t motivated to overcome corruption, incline equality, to replace economic systems, etc.

All you’d be doing is stifling innovation, improvement, a reason for hope in the future, for …… the same unmet needs, but now with less hope

  That seems a bit presumptuous. Why do you think people who are motivated to advance technology aren’t motivated to overcome corruption, etc.?

  I’m confused. I haven’t suggested doing anything. I’m very curious what the “doing” is that you’ve conjured me suggesting?

    I don’t see it as a zero sum game. On the contrary, I see advancing science and technology as an investment in our future that makes it easier to take care of our people, and stagnation as making it harder to care for our people

    stagnation
    
    Why do you see feeding and housing everyone as stagnation?

A few people are focused on this tech, the majority of people who are in a position or job that can in fact end world hunger are held back for reasons.
