I received the following reply to my query "Re: discussing the World
System". Is there any consensus on this list favoring an "operational
system which assumes the merging of nations into one global country"? Or
that such would "lead to greater human progress"?

Discuss real or theoretical base paradigms but make no presumptions!
and discuss a global, operational system which assumes the merging of
nations into one global country.
These elements, I believe will lead to greater human progress.
