When the problem can only be solved with global governance and the "proper morals and intelligence", I think it is worth questioning the premises.
How much more apocalyptic fear mongering do we need to rationalize increased governance? When is enough enough?
Cold war, drug war, war on terror, financial meltdown, pandemic emergency powers, nuclear apocalypse and of course climate doom. All used to rationalize further erosion of personal autonomy.
Is no one else burnt out on the constant doom mongering from our betters? Is it because I lack the proper morals and intelligence that I feel skeptical?
