Starting from Sunzi's The Art Of War I can prove that a global paradise is the best option:
Sunzi says in the point about rolling stones that it is the nature of stones that "on a level ground they remain still but on a slope they move". Similarly the wise commander uses his men: it is the nature of the men that when they are truly motivated they act with force and when they are not motivated they do not act at all. The profoundnes of this principle is illustrated by the use of it in the major (i.e. its dimension is huge) point in the beginning of the Sunzi's book: "The people must agree with the goals of the government."
If we now take a look at the nature of the men in the light of our present day scientifical understanding of the world, we notice that the charachteristics of the men stem from the time when humans were still a part of the nature, of the healthy natural world. (You can compare this to the Tao.) It is the nature of healthy wholes that they try to cure themselves when wounded, so the men as parts of the world have as their motivational ground the making of the group as strong and flourishing as possible without it costing overly much to them. All the natural motivational factors of the men together with the aim for strenght and safety guide them toward best health and that means living as a healthy whole as a part of the healthy world. That is the safest and strongest choise which is also supported by our nature, it is a paradise upon Earth and the best ultimate goal for a military commander to choose. *********************************
