I can agree about the warmth of human touch has been removed from society. And at the same time, the Internet has revealed some truly awful, even evil people out there.

Internet has surely given those truly awful people platform to reach each other better than before as well as means to try to push that to other people.

And it's given people like me with self-esteem issues and social anxieties and depression a chance to go online, and just... be yourself. Without stigma, without judgment. The anonymity goes both ways.

Superstates are the future. It will dissolve all those artificial cultural/racial/ethnic/national barriers that hold us back today.

Idunno the Eurail sounds pretty tempting to take part in at some point in my life.

I think I'll start my bucket list off with it, though I don't think you're supposed to follow those things in order or anything.

No. There's always a chance it could go wrong. It's probably inevitable. But it will decrease a lot of the divisions we have today.

At least we'll be facing the future as a united people. Humans. Not... whatever.
