I think that having enough people agree to have a sinle entity for a world government would be impossible to achieve.
Everyone would be in it for their own benefit and not for the benefit of everyone. This is where the discontinuation would occur. Finding people who would be interested in the overall welfare of everyone would be totally impossilbe given human nature as we know it.
I don't think there could ever ben a cultural change of that magnitude, even in the face of some world changing event such as our stupid broadcasts out to the universe bringing us the unwanted attention of an advanced civilization that is technically superior to us and would much rather just have us die off, or get sent to the "Antarctic Reservation" as the colonists in America did to the native americans.
We could not gather a consensus to work together to defend ourselves. It would be impossible to accomplish.
Are there any people who think that they could envision something that would work towards this end without waxing biblical?
