What has been challenging post civilization is the sense that a surplus of resources is needed to keep the civilization going. This reinvigorates the competition. So civilization which thrives off of our most natural (read primitive) habits.

I'm not sure that you can do away with competition, but what could be done is to value cooperation more than it. If we were dependent on our own cooperation for resources rather than the acquiring of a surplus (which will inevitably leave some out) then perhaps we might find it takes us to equal heights.

But that sounds too much like socialism so fuck that.
