Hello everyone
I would like to ask you if you (also) think our need to extremely protect our "culture" and pride of our country IS the worst enemy preventing the next step for human evolution.
I completely agree our past is VERY important...but to me is just so we can LEARN from both our successes and failures.
Otherwise...culture is not your friend.
This is made pretty clear if you were born in a "wrong" country.
But even if you were born in the "right" country, with decent human rights and decent freedom...culture is not your friend when used as a means to dictate:
-Who you are
-Who you should or shouldnt be
-With who should you interact with
-What should you like and dislike
When is used as a means to differenciate ourselves from other human beings...culture is absolutely not your friend.
It even uses and abuses you sometimes by corporations and companies.

I have a couple questions:
If the World would eventually "unite"...what do you think would happen with the cultures?
Its impossible for entire countries to give up their nationality...so how would we go about it?
Keep our names? Keep our borders?
Erasing the borders would be a sign of evolution BUT it will never happen
So is culture our worst enemy?
