Most modern technology is derived from military research.

Do you feel bad every time you use a microwave? It was originally a military radar. Without military funding, it would not exist in its modern form. Nor would basically all radio communication technologies, satellites, spaceflight. You get the idea.

yeah, I feel terrible about it. We as a species apparently cant punch a dent in a pack of butter unless it is for greed or murder. We chose to be like that. Seriously, wtf???

I would prefer it if we developed competitive qualities. Trying to stop doesn't make sense, we have to outgrow it.
