> Instead of trying to find ways to divide ourselves why not focus on empathy and the reasons to work together. Don't knock division. It has its place. What division does is it stops contagious phenomena from running rampant through the world. Division (we call it "quarantine") stops infectious diseases. Division keeps your codebase sane. Division protects startup A's funds from those profligates at startup B. In particular, division is, if not a solution, an emergency fallback for the prisoner's dilemma. If Bob and Alice have defected on each other for the last hundred turns, maybe it would be better for everyone if they stopped playing. I don't have to find ways to divide ourselves. I'm saying that if you do away with nations, everyone will be forced to, because division is a good thing.
