Advancement does seem to come from adversity, but adversity doesn't necessarily mean a lack of peace.
Taking into account the wider definition of peace, I do see what you're saying. Maybe the next step, after we clean up our various messes, is to learn that the mother of invention doesn't have to be necessity. Inspiration doesn't have to come under duress. While I can work under stress, I'd rather work on my own time table and without pressure. Who needs the stress?
