Do you think the world will end like the book, 1984?

Question

I strongly believe that the world is converging towards a one world order to bring nations and different people together under one leader. You have for example the Euro that has recently just evolved in Europe, the United Nations in New York, formation of the Patriot Act and what privacy can be violated by the US government, surveillance by the British government on it's people (supposedly, the Brits are the most watched populace in the world), the everyday occurence of seeing cameras on light posts and building corners when you're walking down the street...Do you think that we will one day be completely watched by the government, as happened in the novel 1984? Do you think that this will cause nations to converge into a one world order?

Answer 1

I TOTALLY AGREE!!! We are so willing to hand a way our very freedoms to protect us from a very slight minute attack of "terrorism." Eventually the small freedoms will be replaced with ever growing freedoms, like imposing a curfew, to arranging our marriages, to having us apply for our natural right to give birth, to what we can and cannot read to what we are allowed to wear, to what we are allowed to think. Soon this country will end up entirely uniformed, unilateral, and "unifed." No happiness, no choices, no freedoms.

Answer 2

were there now,your just in the top 1%. theres a law famous in astronomy that says civilizations burn out and die before contact with others because once a population gets large enough it uses resources faster than they can be had.the expansion rate neccessary to run civilization overcomes that races ability(maximum rate of expansion) to gather resources. same is happening now and in several lifetimes will reach point of no return. china has already scarred itself beyond beleif. we have proven we are no where near advanced enough for expansion into space to be practical and would just cause a miniscule part of humanity to drift off and die far away. but 1984 was metaphor for the need for big brother when the wheels start to come off.

Answer 3

I thought 1984 ended with a period. "."
