I couldn’t disagree more strongly. Biology implies competition, both within and outside one’s species. Factionalism is a direct consequence of our evolution, so to say that it is not aligned with humanity’s interests is incoherent. You might dislike it, but in a real sense factionalism is part of us.
There is a difference between humans and humanity.
My argument isn't whethwr factionalism is a part of us. My argument is that different faction often, or even just sometimes, aren't aligned with each other.
Alignment isn't inherent in the system. Sometimes groups are aligned, sometime they aren't. When a single misalignment can cause catastrophic damage you have a problem.
