How to get world Peace…
Friday 1 June , 2007
Firstly, watch this funny clip from The Daily Show:
So then… In a ‘debate’ between Islam vs. Christianity… It seems they only found agreement when they had a common enemy; “The Jew.”
Now all joking aside, this is not such a bad concept. History has proven it to work. Hitler was able to be defeated by the combined forces of the Allied powers coming in from the West, and the Red Army of the USSR defeating Hitler from the East. Two very opposing camps, Western Capitalism and Russian Communism, were able to work together to defeat a common foe.
Very soon afterwards, the co-operation broke down. A breakdown which culminated in the Cold War and the subsequent arms race between the two emergent Super Powers of this new world order. Had the threat remained indefinitly, would the co-operation have remained also?
So then… world peace. How can we achieve that? Well maybe a common foe to unite the whole of mankind is needed. A common foe that maintains itself indefinitily in a careful balance of being a threat but not ever being victorious. Much like the Cold War. No actual ‘hot war’ takes place. But the threat is enough to raise humanity as a whole to a new level of co-operation that sees itself void of current conflicts within mankind.
So what is available to fill such a vacancy? To be a threat to the whole of mankind, does the requirement make it inherent that any threat will be beyond mankind? Aliens? Yeah well if there is anything out there… Even the most benign of aliens in terms of threat may want to soon make a presense considering the state of world affairs. It should be enough to make humaity stop to think. And if the Aliens do become a threat, not to worry. If Independence Day is anything to go by, we’ll just send the recently arrested, ‘King of Spammers‘ to spam the alien systems to oblivion…
I should think that Hollywood has sufficiently conditioned us to not be so afraid of an alien invasion. We have Will Smith on our side right? Maybe the US Government should even go and stage the whole thing… Have the same effect without the actual invasion! So anyways, enough of my nonsense. Im not an ‘Aliens are out there’ nut to think this could happen for Humanity. We are actually destined to fight with ourselves until we destroy the planet. With nuclear stockpiles in existance already that can destroy the Earth several times over.. what hope does humanity have from this frightening reality? We are already on a slipperly slope being oiled by the mindless who are in power…
