World government - Maitreya

[abaris]

Sure, the idea of a unified earth is still many years away, but it's obvious when you consider the sheer level of communication and exchange of ideas on the Internet (as one example) that many parts of the world previously cut off as it were are now connected. I don't know about the whole civilisation unification thesis, but it's unquestionable that barriers of otherism are slowly being demolished.

The nationalist dick wavers are back with a vengence on both sides of the pond. As I said, short of alien invasion or dino killer there won't be any world government. The primitives are to eager to defend their caves.

And no, I never put much stock in humanity being reasonable.
