> Does humanity really want an authority powerful enough to claim dominion over the entire planet? I believe the word you're looking for there is /did/ not /does/. And the answer is for some, yes, for some, no, but regardless -- it happened for a variety of structural reasons (British Empire, Mongol Empire, etc). Perhaps a more interesting question is whether such a dominion will work for the future. And for that, I'm not so sure. What's to say that we won't see some kind of three body system between India, China and the West? Not to mention what could happen as South America and Africa continue to ascend. I think the logistics of collecting a 15% global tax will be "interesting" to watch play out.
