Global governance need not take a democratic form.

The democratic thought is based on that 'ordinary people' are suitable to rule themselves.

If two norms conflict, if they are mutually inconsistent, then at least one of them must be false.

It is of note that for a long time moral nihilism was a kind of unquestioned default position in analytic moral philosophy.

My conjecture is that most people will refuse to let go, even when their lives have become boring (at least in comparisons with possible lives lived by new generations). If this happens, there will eventually be no room for new generations. A kind of collective irrationality will lead to a bleak life for the last generation that decides to stay around. Unless we put and end to the human race (through global warming, for example), before this happens, individual egoism will block the path to a better world.

Different areas present us with possibilities to test different theories.

I am a left winger, thought.
