Our technology may have reached a turning point. One of the UFO documentary TV shows that are on almost nightly now was going on about our reverse-engineering of alien technology from crashed UFOs and pointed out that we’ve been doing this since the 1950’s with the Roswell and other alien craft mishaps. You can take that as true, or not. But they did crash so it is likely.
At the same time, Globalism has just had it’s first truly great as well as deciding victory in the conquering of the United States, the most powerful holdout for nationalism on Earth. Now it’s clear that we’re moving strongly in China’s direction in our form of government and control of the citizenry and just by gut feeling and nothing else, I think we humans had a helping hand here.
Nationalism has to end. It’s simply natural social evolution. Nationalism is the base foundation for wars between us, and our technology has advanced to the point that all-out world war would kill everything on the planet.
No race of people can endure with a highly advanced technology unless everyone is under one roof. The Chinese are rapidly implementing a system of “social credit points” that will prove to be more effective in creating a unified society than any amount of police power could do. People who keep acting up and acting out in ways the government disapproves of will lose credits. Losing credits will get your freedoms removed. Your credit revoked, your job lost, your means of travel blocked, eviction from your home. You will comply or die and over time, the Chinese will become a totally unified people who all believe in and practice the same rules, and the rest of the world is going to follow the Chinese example. Like it or not.
We Earthlings can’t expect to join peoples of other planets until we form one unified government and eliminate war.
It’s apparent that the days of free humans are ending, along with the end of wars, and the becoming of one of the space faring races of beings is ahead.
I would love to be able to just hang out and watch during the next couple of centuries and see it all unfold.
