Alan, you've crossed over onto another track.
You speak of human 'physical' achievements, not their psychological ones which pertain directly to the question and attitudes regarding the points I was referring to; PEACE.
The things you mention are a direct result of academia and IQ.
The topic of peace is one of human interaction with other humans or EQ.
I know full well of the 'dreamers' you speak of, I am one such dreamer.
My life both domestically and professionally has been one of 'dreaming' up an idea, then taking it from the non-dimensional, and on through to the three dimensional.
In other words (my title is industrial designer) I think up an idea, then build it, then establish it's production.
I am one of a handful of people in Australia who have the ability to 'vertically integrate'.
So you see, where as your comments have value, they do not relate to me or as a response to my comments.
World peace bares no relation to world achievements.
One of the best examples I can give is the atomic bomb.
Those with IQ created it and those with EQ deployed it.
So to re-iterate, dreamers and fantasists who use emotion to deliver a message are dangerous people, and should not be allowed to speak.
When people are vying for office, they rally the public with emotion laced speech.
One such example was HITLER!

Yes Atrave another one, Winston Churchill or someone like Gandi or Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandella, The list is long and includes guys like Erdogan, Netanyahu or even D Trump. The latter most popular when addressing a crowd of right-wing fundamentalists.

Having the power of persuasion is not particularly unique, but available to all to use and persuade others down paths that will lead us to the promised and predicted, one thousand years of peace.

And only possible if we stop fighting among ourselves for the crumbs of defeat. Be it defeat in conflict or economic well being.

Our finest moments as humans were when at war and putting others first. So also in the war on poverty and want that in truth can only ever improve all lives, yours, mine and all others, if done intelligently, without hurt or harm to any others or fouling the nest we call planet earth.

I mean real success in business is best achieved by delivering the very best service or good you are capable of and just allowing the profits to take care of themselves.

Moreover, the most efficient, most productive by a mile, business models were co-ops that almost alone as private enterprise, free market models, survived the great depression virtually intact. Always providing someone with IQ was at the helm and with skin in the outcome!

And for alleged virtical thinkers unable to put the other guy first, an impossible concept That is in eternal (ME-ME) conflict with their inner self? Alan B.

Everything around us started with a dream in some
form or another. Not all of them good of course.
However, I prefer to think of the dream chasers
who have done good and changed the trajectory of
our world for the better. People like Father Chris
Riley and his work for youth in Sydney. He founded
and developed "Youth Off the Streets (YOTS). Then
there's organisations like - Beyond Blue, Lifeline,
Vinnies, Salvation Army, to name just a few - they
all started with someone's dream. People like
Walt Disney who pioneered a new vision for animation
and entertainment. Richard Branson has started
some 4 gazillion companies. One of the most powerful
speeches in history starts with "I have a dream..."

Anyway - you get the picture.

Alan, I concur on some of your points.
I am a little confused with one passage.
Where you mention a thousand years of peace, I am only able to conjure up a prediction of instability, fighting and war for a thousand years, then peace would prevail, on Earth.
I know it sounds a little far fetched, but not sure where it came from.
Was it the bible?
Was it Nostradamus?
I don't know but, I can't find any reference to a thousand years of peace.

"Winston Churchill: 'If the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour" - 1940.
Hitler believed that if he get rid of all the enemies and kill all the undesirables a Reich which is strong in it's territory and have an influence much outside the political boundaries will come which will exist for 1000 years.

His inspiration is the 1st Reich [The holy Roman Empire, 962–1806] which lasted almost 1000 years with a lot of influence even when the Empire itself is not that strong."

As Anglo-Saxons and Germans are...German , (like the Windsors) then peace was possible . Being Christian , peace was possible.

Alan B,
Yes those multi billionaires you refer to could do with some lard-wobbling exercise along a hay wagon so they could resemble the thousands of workers they employ.
Then we have those who deem it a "Right" to get above average wage for simply brandishing a BA or similar utterly useless qualification to an equally useless public service bureaucrat & get a position of uselessness paid for by the rest of us. And, they don't employ a single person.
