There was mention of a world government in the Obama Deception/Conspiracy thread in the light of trying to achieve world domination (for wicked purposes, undoubtedly).
I like to throw the bat in the chicken coup (Dutch expression ) and start off by saying that I think the idea of a world government is the ideal we (as humans) should strive towards. If we want this ramshackle bunch of humans to get their shit together, cooperation is the key.
Technology has been improving drastically to make the world smaller the last 100 years, and it's still advancing at a rapid pace. In the end, the way forward lies in finding each other, as lame hippy as that may sound. It's already happening, obviously, with Europe being the leader in making steps towards a multi-nation nation, so to speak. Countries all over the globe are cooperating more and more on all kinds of areas.
That is the future. One Europe. One Asia. One America(s). In the end, one world. There is no other way.
Now the reason I brought this up was because for many people the idea of a "world government" seems to bring along ideas of supervillains, world dominion by evil people, Zionist conspiracy theories, capitalist Illuminati principles. I think this is Rubbish (capital R).
Apart from the simple fact I'm highly sceptical of these conspiracy ideas, some individual countries these days already have enough power to worry yourself bald over if you entertain the notion that everyone high up the food chain is hellbent on world domination.
Again, one human race, it's the only way forward. No more us v. them mindsets, it needs to be done together. If we ever want to achieve the idea of Star Trek and exploring the stars with spaceships, we will need to sort out things on Earth first. Cooperation is the way. The International Space Station is a great example of that.
Obviously I realize this is no revolutionary process. It happens slowly, in small increments. But one of it's foundations is the trust of the people, all people. We can't afford much suspicion anymore. We need to look at the long term. In a way, time is running out.
One world. Who's with me?
