Scientific State (Part II)

=====I have stated in other posts that I believe that an entirely neutral, scientific state should be formed somewhere in the world -- a state with allegiance only to the betterment of the planet and its inhabitants. Religion would have no place in the scientific state, nor would its views be sympathetic to religious need or ceremony, for religion is the natural enemy of objectivity and humanity. That having been said, I suggested that the scientific state be placed in what is now Palestine and Israel because of all the murder and devolution to civilization that religion has caused there. As a result of my statements, some people misunderstand my motivations and say that if I really saw to such an operation that I would be no better than those I am replacing. Misunderstanding is not without merit, as I forgot to mention that, in the hypothetical universe of my mind, the seizing of Palestine and Israel would be entirely non-lethal.
=====If it were possible to truly rally together all the great scientific minds of the world for this one cause, then such a task would probably have to be done before the founding of the actual state. When all the great scientific minds of the world are brought together in one place, the official scientific state or not, it opens the door to the development of new technologies. Technologies could be developed that made warfare largely non-lethal.
=====One of the first missions of the united scientific community would be to improve upon, and to develop, new non-lethal weapon technology. Improvements could be made to reduce the risks of death caused by the use of non-lethal weapons. Electrical and percussive stun weapons could be developed that were practical on the battlefield. New armors could be developed that made all who wore them largely impervious to lethal weapon attacks; so, it would be practical to engage an enemy, while using only non-lethal means, which was utilizing lethal force. Netting, restraining, and containing weapons and tactics could be developed that met the standards of practical military strategy. New radio and electromagnetic technologies could be developed that rendered missiles useless against either side. Fully automated and remotely controlled machines, armed with non-lethal weapons, could be developed to engage enemy forces that are too dangerous for a human army to handle. An entirely new method of warfare could be developed that would practically eliminate fatality, but maintain the desired result. Aside from technology, the formation of the scientific state would also reduce the risks of warfare in less direct ways.
=====No country in the world, regardless of might or strength, would want to engage a military force that would be, without question, the most technologically advanced in the history of civilization. Even if the scientific state used exclusively non-lethal means to fight any battles it might need to, all other countries would be aware of the unlikelihood of victory. Losing wars is not only bad because a nation loses the lives of its people, but because it leaves that nation vulnerable to invasion, occupation, and assimilation. The scientific state would be a growing state, like all nations are, so it would be no secret that it would eventually need to expand. The need to expand coupled with a technologically superior military and the opportunities created by military victory would make the scientific state a very uneasy target for the militaries of all other nations to consider.
=====The scientific state would not view the world as a group of governments, however. The scientific state would see the people of the world as separate from their governments. Food, aid, medical technologies, educational tools, and architectural advancements would be shared with the people of the world. Military technologies would not be shared with the governments of the world. For example, even if the scientific state were to be repeatedly attacked by the Unite States military, the scientific state would not cut the civilians of the United States off from the benefits of scientific advance. The people of the United States would be seen as a separate entity from the United States government and military. The scientific state would view all the civilians of every nation as world citizens. It is in this way that the scientific state would be truly neutral. It isn't difficult for one to surmise why the mere existence of such a state would generate the hostility, fear, and condemnation of many world powers -- no nation wants its people to feel as though they have some kind of power beyond the established government.
=====In these ways, and many ways unmentioned, the establishment of a scientific state in Palestine/Israel would not be comparable to the war that currently wages in the "Holy land." As few lives as technologically possible would be lost, on either side. The point of the invasion would not be to eliminate an enemy, but to secure land and relocate inhabitants who don't do anything with the land but kill one another. Once founded, the point of the scientific state would not be to oppress people with religion and justify murder, but to improve the over-all condition of the planet, and every species, in every conceivable way
