Re: One god to rule us all

It does look as though there is going to be one big thing out there. It looks as though it will be a more integrated and unified entity than any living system up to now - and it is unlikely to be descended from today's United Nations - e.g. see:

Kevin Kelly: Predicting the next 5,000 days of the web

It seems rather unlikely that the Monopolies and Mergers Commission will be there to stop this particular global unification.
