I know. And I believe it's ok to lose that too. We will develop different ways of thinking or improve the language we use. I don't think there is anything in what we currently have that can compare to a united humanity. And this only can happen if we all can understand each others.

Why does everyone speaking one language somehow result in a united humanity? Plenty of countries speak English and yet there is zero desire or movement to unite them. Language is but one aspect of culture and unfortunately one result of widespread English usage is the destruction of local cultures by Western, specifically American consumeristic, culture. I also don't particularly see the usefulness or relevance of everyone speaking one language for the overwhelming majority of people. Do a Chilean farmer, a Mongolian oil worker, and an American programmer need to communicate with each other on a regular basis? And if they did, would this be worth replacing thousands of years of local culture and language?
