I'm just thinking, what happens if corporations become more powerful than governments (and anti-trust laws were thrown out). They start making laws and rules and enforcing them. They hire mercenary army's to protect their interests of the company. And there is nothing left to innovate. It would be a world collective, where everyone had pretty much the same laws, and it was futile to rebel against them or not be part of society.
It would be great if everyone got along and we could treat Russia like it was Alaska, Mexico like it was Texas and Iraq like it was Georgia. You would need to create a world government and a world currency. Every person would be equal and could travel anywhere.
Yes, it it seems like a fantasy world, but I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't the end goal eventually. Although I understand the problems and headaches it would cause.
