AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the perception that U.S. political leaders primarily focus on national advancement rather than global cooperation. Participants express concern about the competitive nature of international relations and speculate on the potential need for a unified global governance to address pressing global issues. There is a belief that without significant disruption, such as a war or crisis, establishing a global government may be challenging. Some argue that even with a global system, differing opinions and governance complexities would persist, making effective implementation difficult. The conversation raises questions about the feasibility of global governance and the conditions necessary for its establishment, with some suggesting that it could help prevent conflicts. However, skepticism remains regarding how such a system could operate across diverse nations.

When I watch any of the speeches from the president or some other high ranking politician they almost always make remarks on how to advance the U.S.A to a superior status.Only on rare occasion do they mention Global action and advancement for everybody.Everything seems like a competitive race.

I was just wondering how long this pattern will be able to continue.Eventually something will disrupt it and the out come could be good like a treaty or pact,or it could be bad like a war.
The world needs to organize it self into 1 single entity as fast as possible or it will just keep tugging on the planet in each individual nations way.There are global problems facing the Earth and only global action can fix it.

As of right now I can't imagine things really getting better without getting alot worse first.Can anyone here think of a scenario where a global government is set in place without there being the immediate need for one cause of a bad situation.If so please share.
Oh and how long do you think it will be before it happens.

What would be the difference if the world was run under one government rule? They would still need separate groups of ppl to run separate parts of the world there's no way a single person could dominate the entire world, this isn't a video game.

People will still have their own opinions and differing views especially on a global scale... I don't see how this will solve anything.

I never said 1 single person.Just a system that unites everyone.That system is up to the people to organize.If it were set it would put a stop to war so there's one thing it would solve.

Also I know everyone has their own views,thats why I think it would be so hard to create something like a global governance.

I was exagerrating but how exactly would a government operate from say China to enforce itself in USA? It can only do that by having separate governing entities... at a global level this is rediculously difficult and for pretty much all purposes gets rid of the entire point of having the 'global governing body' anyways.
 
it seems that http://sovereignty.net/p/sd/strong.html was working on that.

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
