The UN is a joke and lacks authority to properly resolve regional conflicts around the world. But lets be honest, the first legitimate one would probably suck ass regardless, but continued effort is what makes history and society evolve.

No world power wants to be responsible for backing this leap and at this rate, I feel like only a global existential crisis will force the creation of a true global government, and the human civilization will have no proper experience/history to adequately govern such an entity.

Yes, it will be run by a benevolent artificial super intelligence that has taken over.

No.

This would involve every single country in the world setting aside their autonomy, their differences with their neighbours, and a good chunk of their sovereignty in the spirit of unification. We're a long way away from that point; with human tribalism being what it is, I'm uncertain we'll ever get there.

Plenty of sane people want that; it's just what terms it would be under that's the sticking point.

I think wanting a one world government automatically excludes you from being considered sane.

I didn't realize the definition of insanity was "those with different opinions than Rasmoh".
