I know a number of people who grew up in extreme poverty who are extremely well reasoned here and others who are extremely spoiled and fortunate who would gladly enter into a holy war.

I don't think you can quite generalize that much.

Additionally cooperation is an evolutionary advantage and world war is a species level threat now that we have nuclear weapons.

I don't believe that everyone wants peace. I believe the people who have the ability to shape policy and invest capital would want peace.

Which I think is also complicated. Kind of harkens back to the cliche that WW1 was caused by old people romanticizing war. Most letters between the heads of states confirmed they were anticipating industrial destruction and death but they felt the pressure to initiate war anyway.
