The absence of conflict implies a settled ''consensus'', that all mysteries have been resolved, all questions answered, all [[unknowns]] eradicated. It implies total homogeneity of need, want and value. There is no partisanship, no contest, no sport, no competition for resource. There is none of the uncertainty, or opportunity of life: we are on known and understood rails; what we must do to stay upon them is clear and can be automated. | |||
There are no disputes, doubts, disagreements or contrarians. A contrarian would, if one were even possible, be simply ''one who is wrong''. But a contrarian, or an erroneous person would not be possible, for she might dispute the consensus and create a conflict. | |||
