would it be a better world if people lives in gages and apes rule?

That would really be strange.  Don't think I want to live to see that.

It would solve the problem of having to think about solutions to every little problem all the time. So mental exertion would be lessened, and ignorance would rise, which means that there would be a possible sense of bliss. Now, the knowledge that there is no longer a government serving you would be mentally draining on the other hand. \n\nThreat of physical pain would rise considerably...\n\nNoone would have a right to anything, so they would have to personally defend all of their possessions and come up with ways to adjust to less governmental support. Support would still be there from corporations, businesses, etc. but they would be free to commit whatever atrocity they wanted with their immense wealth they would still have. \n\nCertainly a form of chaos would ensue, or maybe business as usual from the view of another species... there would not be a structured and orderly society, but one in which people use any means at their disposal to survive, although interestingly we would still have ideas of morality, justice, etc. from the government days. \n\nNow of course this wouldn't all happen at once, but eventually we would reach stagnation in our push toward further modernization, and if the poor masses cause enough of a stir, production, development and distribution of all kinds of everyday goods available today would be halted. \n\nIt would take alot of adjustment. But I have no doubt that we'd find a way to survive.\n\nAnd then again, we could always make a new government before too much happens =)\n\n\nadded: OK the above posters assumed you meant changing the governmental system... the wording of your question doesn't really include replacing the government with a new system.

I agree with you.  I think if their economies were more global, with more wealth for more people (as opposed to oil wealth spread amongst a few) and more participative government, then, yes, there would be less violence and strife and unhappiness in that part of the world.

Yes. Few people would choose to live in society and suffer discrimination. \nI have included some articles on it being an innate characteristic under sources.

earth has become the planet of the apes... we've lost humanities traits of caring for others and helping those less fortunate.  Today it is like the Serengeti where it's eat or be eaten.

Totally. Everyone would get along better and no one would look down on anyone really. Everyone would have better self esteem too.

Most definitely.  Then the rest of us can get on with life in the *real* world, and not be bothered with a lot of self-righteous supertitious nonesense.\n\nGreat idea!  Let's put it in Texas somewhere.

If you can get along without modern conveniences it very well might be.  But I doubt most 21st Century Americans would want to live that way since it requires hard work and leave little time for goofing off.

It should.  The world would be a better place to live in,  if it is peaceful.

In an ideal world, there is a chance what you suggest might work. But humans being what they are, it will never work. Throughout history, there have been civil wars and revolutions. Humans like to distinguish themselves from others. The us versus them is a very strong sense. If there is no other country to call “them” we’ll pick other attributes such as where the others live or the color of their skin.\nLook at Africa, anyone with ½ brain can see that Africa can easily become a major world power if they got a modicum of unity. Not the entire continent needs to become 1 country. As long as they form a union similar to the EU, they will be able to go mush farther. What that would mean is that the small rulers in the many African countries would have to give up the power they have gained, in many cases by force, to a higher form of government. You will see far more cases like what happened in Ethiopia and Eritrea before you see East and West Germany type stories.\nI love your idea in the way that 1 global government would focus on global matters instead of local ones. But unfortunately, I can not see it happening.\nMuslims unite Government and religion into their government. The developed countries separate the 2. Will you force separation of church and state on Muslims or would you tell America they have been wrong by separating religion and government.\nI think a good step towards a united world is education. Starting from America, people should be encouraged to learn about and from other people in the world. Maybe in a few generations, people will come to see the world as what it is, the only planet that we are likely to live on for a long time.

We would sound really irritating and people would play tricks on us all the time by walking up behind us and plugging up our  breathing hole in our backs. I don't believe in evolution though, or why are there still apes? Adaptation is natural and selective breeding is mutations that we are good with, like with dogs, cats, horses, and cattle. But to think that we were apes is just nonsense, even Darwin recanted most of his theories before he died.

Think of it this way (VERY simplified example here):\n\nIn Africa, the jungle borders on the plains. There's a population of ape-like primates that live in the jungle. The population gets too big, so another population branches off after a few thousand years, and lives on the plains. Thep lains are a whole diffeent story compared to the jungle. Different predators, different fod supply, different enviroment. It's very tough out there. Only the apes who have adaptations to living on the plains survive. These keep getting better and better at it, and eventually become humans.\n\nMeanwhile, th apes that stayed in the jungle also face changing conditions, though obviously not as big a change as jungle-grasslands. But, they keep getting better t what they do in more subtle ways (subtle since they don't have as ig a change to deal with). These eventually become modern apes. They look more like the original apes than humans do because they stayed in the ame environment, but eventually even those original apes all died out or became chimps, gorillas, etc.\n\nIt's possible that someday, some chimps might move out onto the plains. Maybe they'll evole some of the same adaptations that humans did, but they wn't BE humans any more than dolphins are sharks (just becasue they evolved in a similar environment and ended up looking sorta like sharks).

Oh would the world be a whole lot better, but human nature is just bizarre sometimes, but I love your frame of mind, none of these things builds character or self esteem in the long run.

Well humans only inhabit 10% of the earth's surface and if everyone was to do it they would be able to hear people around them or if they were alone, just themselves, but if you didn't and you went somewhere like the sahara you probably wouldn't be able to hear it. The world is just too big i'm afraid, its like the fact that if the whole of China stamped their feet, there wouldn't be enough energy to boil a kettle.

no, i'm not satisfied with today's lifestyle.\nthough we might have increase in technology, science, etc.\nwe have a decrease in the qualities of life. more individu suffering, more broken family, more poverty.\ni do admire the neolitics era where people live in small community, independent, they fulfill their need themselves, they have lands (since industrial revolution, many people lost their land to small powerful people), they know each other neightbour very well.\n\nbut it isn't impossible to have those life qualities for present, everthing changes and evolves. the main problem for present is global inequality. greed capitalism. consumerism. environment crises. greed. ignorance. we just have to re-establish on our perception on meaning of life, the world.
