We waste so much that could be given to the people that need it. Water shortages are cropping up across the world. Food is being thrown away. All the while we aim weapons of mass destruction at each other. What will snap first?

Please, how is wanting a unified species a grand delusion?
Together we could accomplish so much as a species. Eradicate diseases, end poverty and starvation, do away with war.

Human ingenuity and our ability for problem solving. If we use our collective intellect then it would be nearly simple.

Can't argue with that! It's going to take something other than government to fix it though.

yeah, you can argue with that. If the human race had decided to work as a collective and suppress the desire to achieve individual success, we'd still be living in the dark ages, serving Kings and Queens.

You do realize straight and narrow means law abiding, correct? It is hypocritical of you to say the rules set forth by a global government would be terrible because they are crafted by others, yet you live under rules that were crafted by others.
You live in a society where breaking those rules would put you behind bars for months, possibly years, yet doesn't help you to better yourself and get back to a lawful life.
The very notion that you posit contradicts the very laws you live under. Shall I go on pointing out the hypocrisy you have put forth?
