Many people are afraid of or don't like the notion of "one world government", which means one government ruling all nations.But if you think about it a certain way, we already have one world government, the natural laws of the Earth.
In general, all species obey those natural laws of the governing authority of the Earth, except for the species homo sapien.
The meaning of the species description "homo sapien" reveals who thought up that description:
Homo sapiens (Latin: "wise man" or "knowing man"),(ibid). Yes, a homo sapien is responsible for the description calling homo sapiens "wise man" with a "highly developed brain ... capable of ... problem solving".the only extant member of the Homo genus of bipedal primates in Hominidae, the great ape family. However, in some cases the term is used to refer to any member of the genus Homo ... Humans have a highly developed brain, capable of abstract reasoning, language, introspection, and problem solving.
Be that as it may, the government of the Earth is a subset of the governing laws of the cosmos, which state that planets near central stars shall be destroyed by that central star during that star's evolutionary process, therefore, any species who evolve must develop space travel and migrate to a planet with a younger star if they choose to avoid extinction (e.g. Tenets of Ecocosmology).
It is also axiomatic that a species must keep their planet clean enough to keep that species alive until they accomplish competent space travel to a new home world.
Currently homo sapiens are organized into nations that want to do what they want to do, meaning that other nations can butt out of their business.
Sometimes our species sees a need to cooperate for various reasons, so we agree among or between ourselves on various issues, and publicly declare that agreement.
The United Nations is one such attempt to generate a consensus on as many issues as possible between or among nations who are members.
World civilization is both tacit agreement and publicly declared agreement between nations, generally based upon various forms of intercourse between them.
The formalization of a structure is what scares one world governmen
t haters, because they feel that it will require giving up something they do not want to give up.Thus, world civilization in general today is not completely unlike a group of warlords who have their own territories, which you better not enter without permission, or you can expect a fight of some sort.
There is a dichotomy involved in this situation, because homo sapiens do not have the power to overrule the government of the Earth or the cosmos, being limited instead, to obeying or disobeying that government.
It is debatable whether or not homo sapiens can govern ourselves in order to learn to obey the government of the Earth and the cosmos.
I guess the answer to that, like other issues, is blowing in the wind.
A visit to the Dubai, UAE site for a list of businesses of the world, who have presence there, will provide some evidence that the world is fully engaged in international commerce.
Some of that commerce is contrary to the national interests of the countries those companies call home.
Thus, the national interests of nations do not necessarily control the interests of corporations like British Petroleum, Halliburton, or AIG.
In fact the recent record shows that these companies often do great damage to nations.
Punishment cannot be avoided in the natural system of justice.
ReplyDeleteNo one is too big to fail or too big to go to jail.
It is simple natural justice which applies to everyone.
My buddies in the middle class and poor understand that, but the elites in the "other class" don't seem to.

ReplyDeleteActually, world civilization today is exactly like that.
There is a dichotomy involved in this situation, because homo sapiens do not have the power to overrule the government the Earth or the cosmos, being limited instead, to obeying or disobeying that government.
The reality of that dichotomy is the exact drama currently being played out. Thanks Dredd, for pointing it out.

Indeed it is. And the overwhelming evidence thus far is that we can't.
It is also axiomatic that a species must keep their planet clean enough to keep that species alive until they accomplish competent space travel to a new home world.
I wouldn't buy any shares in any space travel or "green" adventures any time soon if I were you. Environmental cleanup, maybe.
Bottom line: IMO we're riding this oil based economy shit to the very bottom. As it runs out, we'll initiate resource wars using every weapon available to continue our dying lifestyle for as long as we can. The evidence for this would seem to be incontrovertible, as that's exactly what we've been doing since at least 1980.
It won't be pretty, but ALL of it will be 100% supported by the American public, who, in buying into all of the "American exceptionalism" bullshit that will be floated to support it, will have FINALLY become the Hitler/Stalin totalitarian state we've spent the last century fighting against.
Perhaps we've already morphed into a new species--homo adjustus, no longer thinking, merely adjusting and exploiting local conditions. I savour the irony of our self-proclaimed "thinking" characteristic: so much of our actions are irrational. Such as thinking we are beyond cosmic law or that we can solve epic problems with the same minds and means that made them.
ReplyDeleteThe coming water wars will dwarf the petroleum skirmishes. And truly, hasn't there been a "one world government" as long as there has been imaginary money?
Thanks to a comment on the James Howard Kunstler site this morning, I was reminded that should we get a hurricane anytime soon and the ongoing oil outflow continues, we could well see oil rain in any coastal area unfortunate enough to be in the path. Would't that be poetic justice? Imagine the oil barons in Houston getting their expensive suits, cars, houses, office buildings, and everything else literally washed in light crude oil and the entire city stinking of the stuff. Couldn't happen to a better bunch. Of course, then the incorrigible bitches would have the unmitigated gall to put there palms out to the Feds for a handout as well. We just can't win for losing.
