2. Can world peace be achieved through military intervention?
I think the answer to #2 is definitely a "no". The Bush administration has demonstrated that military solutions aren't.
#1 is an interesting thought. It's a bit like the gun control debate. If we take away guns, will some people still kill others? The answer seems to be "probably, except that they might not be able to do it as efficiently resorting to knife fights or fist fights."
Re: What Are The Limits of Knowledge?
The whole is unbound so the knowledge that is needed to describe it is limitless.
How we could achieve world peace? By establishing one nation instead of several nations. One nation, no conflict of interest.

The most likely way for there to be a cessation of conflict between the nations of the world is for the world as a whole to be in conflict against another planet.

Re Kant's Copernican Revolution, he asserted 'what is knowledge' is limited to the constitution of the knower of knowledge of a reality which the knower is part and parcel of, i.e. the reality known cannot be absolutely mind-independent.
Humans are the Co-Creator of Reality They are In

World Peace?
Kant summed up life with the following mission & vision;
1. What can we know? Epistemology of self and reality.
2. What can we do? Morality & Ethics -do no evil
3. What can we hope for? World Peace from 1 & 2 above.

For example, there are ethical limits on conducting certain types of experiments on humans, and societal norms can influence what knowledge is considered acceptable or tabooMerge Fruit. These ethical and moral boundaries can hinder the acquisition of knowledge in certain areas or impose limits on how knowledge is disseminated and utilized.
Re: What Are The Limits of Knowledge?
I think it is very important that we encourage dialogue, negotiation and peaceful resolution of conflicts. Diplomatic efforts, mediation and conflict resolution mechanisms can help prevent conflict from escalating and promote understanding between countries.

A few individuals often determine the ethical limits of science and shape societal norms.Salma Yundt wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2024 10:38 am For example, there are ethical limits on conducting certain types of experiments on humans, and societal norms can influence what knowledge is considered acceptable or tabooMerge Fruit.

Examples:
- Dr. Fauci with gain of function research.
- 5 SCOTUS justices legalizing abortions with Roe vs. Wade.
- The Tuskegee experiment.
- Dr. Mengele.
- A method to push medical weirdness onto society is to simply change the language.
- For example: Chemical castration and genital mutilation have been transformed into hormone replacement therapy and gender affirming care.
- These "medical procedures", in the name of "health," (actually, vague "mental health" in the case of abortion) sound like Medical Science's Seal of Approval, but instead are actually more along the lines of Dr. Frankenstein saying, “Hey, what if we do this?”
