I definitely would like to see these ideas come to fruition! Though I don't know how we could travel at the speeds to reach other galaxies.. or if the human body could even withstand what it would take to make those trips. The idea is still a great one. I love your idea about commercial space travel. I wish I could be involved in some way.

We have now weaved a new global economic system without a global regulation. I find it hard to believe people didn't know about the Domino effect, especially since we were pushing our economic policies on other countries (not a bad idea). Out of these issues should spur new Global policies that will regulate... everything, while still preserving the strengths of a free market. The idea that free markets work is that there is added incentive, but regulating failed systems, and poor management shouldn't take away people's incentive. It may provide even more incentive to perform at a higher level, and global compitition will push performance incentives even higher. The European Union was a good start, now we only need our North American Union, the African Union, and an Asian union. And the next step would be a global union. A new tower of Babel! But a good one.

I definitely believe the CFR is a group that will help to usher in a new foreign ideology that will help create an awareness of the importance of global unification. This will significantly reduce the the chances of us destroying ourselves, and the possibility of life on our planet.

I'd like to hear more about how this will effect the idea of a global financial system, and how our problems can be 'fixed' by slowly creating this new international system. Maybe thats too much change, but since our world economy is already interconnected we should be talking about this, giving the people a great picture of the future. The system is already working, if it weren't for foreign dollars our system wouldn't hold up. We wouldn't have foreign dollars if it weren't for the ideas of free markets expanding across the world. Giving ambitious Americans more access to worlwide markets, I feel, will inspire people to jump on board. Or is our lack of education holding us back?

Sean Walton commented on Sam Harris On Interpreting Scripture on April 2, 2009, 1:52 PM

I hear what you are saying. IF the creator of the UNIVERSE and all it's 100 billion galaxies wrote a book, it would NOT be the Bible. C'mon. Of course not. The Bible implies that the Sun moves, and the world is flat. Why would he/it put that info in a book and expect us to think it was written by him? No sense. Religion is retarding the evolution of us as a species. Purposefully, for control.
