I'm not sure I would consider human prosperity a zero-sum game. Rather than military conquest, it seems the world powers are vying to own the technological walled garden we build for ourselves.

You're assuming that "human prosperity" is the game being played, as opposed to "national power", which very much is zero-sum.

Nationalism is a choice, one embraced by the current U.S. administration (and others), but it's not the norm: Since WWII the U.S. has been the leading supporter of internationalism.
