...CONTINUED We could then argue about the potential pitfalls and how these countries may not be "ready for it" yet, but who's to say one way or another. If we're going to have a global economy our goal should be in STRENGTHENING our economies not weakening them. I mean the stock market is doing great and all but a lot of that is (at least right now) because our currency is so weak compared to what it has been historically. You might now be asking yourself, "But, what about corruption. Even countries we consider 'allies' can end up with bad apples in powerful positions". I'll then ask you the same question. Even we ended up with Trump in office, which arguably is going to hold the US back for decades to come in terms of foreign relationships. The real point here is whether or not human civilization truly believes that human civilization is by nature good. Do we believe these countries will use the shared intellectual property for good rather than evil. If we as a civilization have by now come to the conclusion that human civilization by nature is bad, then what are we protecting? It's all going to eventually turn to shit and, really, why do we want this wonderful planet to be primarily inhabited by an inherently evil species?
