I did not speak to that as yet, but part of humanitarian services include birth control and family planning and the higher a nation is brought up, the lower the birth rate drops.
A one-world government would have to be elected and accountable to the planet, in being transparent.. is that a possible reality within a modern society GIA?
Absolutely, just as the closest we have to that now, which is the U.N. and some of their world wide programs.
A world government would have local representation, as required, just as countries now do in the U.N.
If not, what would you propose?
One of the impediments to people voting for global governance is giving the citizens a feeling of being able to change laws and maintain control of their economies.
Changing laws should not be a huge problem or hard to overcome as signatories to the U.N. already have a mandate to follow those new laws.
As to the economy, all countries would have to have faith in whatever equalization of economies, if any are required, to insure no particular loss for any country.
Mobility of the work force always seems to be seen as a plus and I have my own views on a better socio economic demographic pyramid, that would be based on worker's and professional guilds instead of just on one's wealth the way most are today.
More and more governments today rule by statistic and advice from demographers. This will increase in the future regardless of what the larger world does.
We are moving into an era that would have Socrates smiling in his grave as he thought that the best form of governments would be manned by professionals and not just whoever the population happened to fancy.
That form of governance is what my view of a one world government would look like.
Managers who hold their position by competence as judged by their peers or guild members as much as, if not more than, an election based on how much a candidate is liked or his military record. Heroes make poor leaders.
