You want us to solve the problem of World Peace?
Easy, five minutes should do it. :)
There are two areas of conflict, local within a group and wars between groups.
The genetic inheritance of humans and chimps usually means that within
a group a dominant personality threatens the fighting pair and makes
them behave. Nowadays we use police, courts, dictators, etc. to
achieve this. With human increased intelligence conflict resolution
can also be achieved by discussion and mutual compromise.
On the larger scale, wars between groups are usually caused by lack of
resources. Food, oil, increased population needs more land, etc.
So the fundamental concept you want is access to unlimited resources
for everyone.
