A friend showed me this site the other night. I believe a new world order is coming. But this site really blew my mind. I guess you can find out all kinds of things on the www.
Have any of you heard of this new world citizenship? What are your thoughts or plans concerning this?

Welcome to the World Citizen Government Web

I support the idea that all guests of Planet Earth are evolving. Some of that appears to be helping many people to see that we are all in this together and that the more sophisitcated "we" solutions are replacing the "them and us" solutions. But that same evolution is also bringing a kind of respect for diversity, a realization that there are, for example, many paths to enlightenment. I think this part goes even deeper in that social analysis is telling us that diversity is a kind of untapped strength only because of how poorly managed its been up until now -- it's that crucial.

So the possibility of becoming overly organized in a way that would create one government or one religion or one culture does not seem even remotely likely to me.

Even here in the US where there has been a strong homogenizing of our culture by big business, there remains the old regional culture beneath it and new imput creates new differences too fast for the homogenizing elements to essentially take over.

I found that to better understand the world, its good to understand its nations, and to better understand nations, its good to understand groups. And to better understand groups, its good to understand families. And to understand families, its best to understand people. What I found in my understanding of people is while what we have in common is huge (we all basically want the same things regardless of who we are), how we express our lives remains very diverse because the world was set up by its creator with a dizzying array of choices. I suspect that was on purpose too!

I am always suspicious of those who offer to bring order out of chaos. A certain amount of chaos is necessary to keep our world spinning. Life is a decentralized, disordered search for temporary equilibrium between multiple actors, forces and constraints. Very inefficient short-term, but very stable long-term, because with enough diversity, nothing is fatal to everything, so something survives anything. I'll take my chances.

There are two basic ideas on the "new world order" one is of course a secret government or business power base that actually runs or controls the world and all or most world governments. You find groups like the freemasons and the such linked to them in the ideas and teachings of this new world order.

The second idea is that people, will throw away the shackles of oppression of local and state governments and look toward being citizens of the world. There are I am sure a few groups, one such group that actually issues "world citizenships" and even passports can be found on the web
WorldCitizen : As the world becomes increasingly interconnected and interdependent we can, and must, acknowledge local and global citizenship

They are a fun group and actually do a lot of good for oppressed areas and third world nations.
