Borders are important for settling disputes.
He's not thinking about why we need them in the first place. We are inherently a mistrustful and violent species that has to be civilized to not use violence as the first means of solving problems.
And we still end up killing each other over which imaginary friend you believe is secretly real.
Solve that and you can start talking about erasing those lines in the sand.
This is patently false. The concept of material- and land ownership is the main cause of violence. Plenty of examples of egalitarian societies in history that shared their resources and lived in peace.
And how large were those societies and how long did they last?
Disputes between who? Frontiers, nations and states killed far more people than any religion. And their all imaginary.
The point being that, when you say soemthing like "this religion killed those people" or "that nation killed those people" what you mean is "these people killed those people".
So when you ask "Disputes between who?" the answer is "Disputes between people."
The fiction being that these people represent others. Frontiers are just a way to divide influence zone of governments; none have any actual legitimacy.
Um, how would you define legitimacy in this context?
