I dont think so. Undeniably some have but certainly not "most" let alone "all." The military has a LONG history of manipulating scientists who thought the purposes were for peaceful research into much more insidious areas. If I started quoting all of the ones I know of, it would fill many books- including many in which human beings were the subjects of experiments that caused cancer (like radiation experiments) and even intentional infections of groups of people (specifically minorities or people in third world countries- which they ended up regretting later when they lost multibillion dollar lawsuits. This didn't even end all that long ago- or need I remind you of the tortures conducted at Guantanamo Bay which represented the combination of military and corrupt individuals in the psychiatric profession [which also has a long history of experimenting on mental patients and in the LBTQ+ community.] Of course the corporate sector has done very similar things, many times in conjunction with the military, I dont vouch for them either. Some of these areas are "crowd control" and the creation of harmful devices that damage the brain to disperse peaceful protestors and warrantless surveillance.) Also the much-quoted Tuskeegee Experiments and the even worse intentional infection of 774 people in Guatemala by needle with syphilis to test a new drug on them as well as drug experiments on their own soldiers that resulted in brain damage by an experimental antimalarial drug during Desert Storm in Iraq- another needless war started by a lie in which war crimes were committed just like they are now in Yemen. It was done by both public and private military groups called "mercenaries" like they have been doing for centuries to people in third world nations across several continents to steal their resources and subjugate their people. The whole military-industrial complex is one vast moneymaking scheme that pretends to be "patriotic" (Eisenhower warned us of this, and he would have known better than anyone since he was in charge of it.) People are only just becoming aware of it because of various needless conflicts that are going on in the world.To your regret, but to the great happiness of some enthusiastic people, all the most ambitious, cool, well-working projects always come from military developments. Ideal for fans of astronomy, this is the intersection of the military, civil and space development in one place. And at the same time exclusively (!) peaceful use.
Many great achievements of medicine, astronomy, cosmology came only from war. But you won't deny their useful functions because of this?
I understand you perfectly. And all these experiments of power over citizens, the rich over the poor, etc., began rather from the very formation of society. So I think the problem here is not in specific governments, but in the specific nature of a whole group of people. These people have always been and always will be. No matter how the social system changes.I dont think so. Undeniably some have but certainly not "most" let alone "all."

Yes that is certainly the case, the nature of people and what power does to people. I do think this can be changed, because it's become an existential threat now with climate change. Personally I like nations to stay neutral and behave according to the Nordic Model. I saw a recent episode of Cosmos where it was mentioned how change happened....nuclear testing of weapons was stopped by most nations in the 60s when mothers protested because their breast milk had been found to have a quantity of radiation in it due to all the nuclear testing that happened, the usage of CFC was curtailed not because of leaders, but because of a large public outcry against the damage to the ozone layer. The answer is change does happen, if a large number of people become angry enough to either protest and shut things down or enact massive class action lawsuits against the corrupting companies, like we are doing now with the fossil fuel cartels. Massive class action lawsuits to stop the opioid drug industry and the corporate buy up of hospitals that used their near monopolies to artificially raise the price of healthcare. Endanger their business model and things will change. Snowden did that to the surveillance state when he whistleblew what was going on and they were exposed for all the world to see.I understand you perfectly.

Let's say we take the Venus project, which is described in many places as heaven on Earth.
Even with the implementation of such a project, such people will still grow up in those conditions.
Unfortunately, people are the problem. This can hardly be changed. It is unlikely that we will go through the path of evolution towards more peaceful behavior. Quite the opposite. They will just learn to disguise all experiments as a good cause.
