I agree with delegitimizing our culture, I just wish this was happening in all cultures, to reduce war and make us all cooperative. Like Einstein said, he didn't know when the next war would happen, but the one after it would be fought with sticks and stones. If we're not careful, nationalism will flare up in enough places to cause another war, ultimately proving Einstein correct.

I think we need a world government or something like it, ruled by law, not force. We have to destroy our nationalist impulses. That part won't be easy because we instinctively support our group, our people, our country. I think right now they're trying to use psychology to influence the masses, but will it work? We can change our instinctive responses but it's never easy. If we do happen to make the necessary adjustments, it'll still be at great cost. And so no matter what happens down the road, it's going to be hard for us.

What a load of excrement. Government is the root of all evil. Count me out of your Borg Utopia.
