The world would probably be bankrupt if there really was world peace.

Well, world peace is hard to imagine..

Assuming this is the World peace where everyone is ALIVE, and not all dead..


It'd probably be a point where everyone has a serotonin regulator inserted at birth.. 

Then at that point,  Everyone can be happy doing whatever they're tasked to do..



Now as to Who's to be in charge..   assuming we can aptly FEEED everyone,   then it doesn't really matter..

We might as well setup a roulette achievements system.. and just spin it once every few years to tell us what GOAL we should attempt next..

tough decision....is this gigabit connection throttled like my stupid Comcast connection?

Obama already said he's gonna take care of ISIL so I think I'd have to get this gig connection.

True sustainable World peace would be nice. Then we could focus on having fun and living well. No need to be rich to do so. We could focus on green technologies that would not require anyone to go to war for specific resources as long as they are well managed.


Truth is that even if we managed peace for some time, human nature would make sure it doesn't last long. Like a few days maybe?

I think ur taking different assumptions in YOUR- world peace..

What you've described is a subscription to entropy where all structures be it physical structures, or derived social structures, will break down...


BUT... realize.. entropy is not a FACT,  we don't know FOR SURE there exists facts, and therefore Entropy may be only a facet of existence that is perfectly counteracted assuming the dynamic for large and small prevails...

but then again, we do not know that this universe balances..  so.. it could go either way..

Gigabits for everyone but you must obtain a license to use it. Or be supervised by someone with a license. A non-anonymous secure internet would be interesting. Less trolling and more people acting like civilized humans.

Think about it. Real accountability on the internets.

If you create a fully accountable Internet...

Someone will create an un-accountable one that's larger..


Dark internet as is, is already larger... (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/noooo-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862514)
