What if the govenrments of the world stopped spending money on hiding the truth?

Question

What if the govenrments of the world quit spending money on hiding things from their own people and the other governments around the world. Now throw in the military/espionage budgets. Now imagine if we were organized and started working together toward common goals like renewable energy/space travel. What kind of things could we accomplish and in what timeframe?

Answer 1

you've given me a freakin headache!
the possibilities abound!

Answer 2

Locally, there would be civil war. People will rise up against their government for deceiving them. Globally, it would mean another World War because national leaders will know that others also deceived them.
If we work together, everything is possible if there are good motives and people are all honest. The latter, that will take some time. It is so hard to attain the right moral values.

Answer 3

Diversity and conflict are inseparable.

Either we need to all be turned into mindless clones of one another, or we will continue coming to different conclusions after looking at the same facts.

And one of those different conclusions that some people will always come to, is that violence is a pretty good way of solving disagreements.

What we currently have is sub-optimal, but I think it is the best we can do.

Answer 4

Competition and the drive to terminate those weaker than us is what keeps the human race going. The strong must survive. The weak must be crushed. Its life.

Answer 5

Imagine thais: If everyone would stop fighting we wouldnt need militarys. We could feed and clothe every hungry person on earth.

Answer 6

We need the military. I need the military. I need the Marines. I need one Marine in particular. Don't get rid of the military.

Answer 7

Competition is good
