Nobody is driving this bus When we look around the world today, it is patently clear that some kind of world governance, if not world government, is necessary. Just look at issues such as global pollution, global biodiversity, AI and pandemics. While there are some international bodies that partially deal with some of these issues, there is, at the end of the day, nobody in charge. The United Nations, established following the Second World War, was designed to promote global security. It does this, and many other good things. But it was not intended as a process for global governance. It simply does not have the structure for such purpose. People may disagree as to whether any body, person or politic, should be in charge. But make no mistake about this: nobody is in charge. So, in addition to sweating over who will win our next local election, perhaps, in our capacity as global citizens, perhaps we could focus a little more on how to deal with the vacuum in global governance. The tragedy of the commons is being played out before our very eyes. Too many are taking more than their share, because they can. Too many are acting in their own interest, in the knowledge or reckless indifference of the fact that their actions threaten the welfare of others and, in some cases, all of us as global citizens. In our capacity as global citizens, there is no point in us blaming everybody for the way things are. Or waiting for a world government to come along. It won't. What we have got, is what we have got. The people of the world today need to step up and use the tools available to them to fix up the world. to One way of doing that is to use the social media campaign in more and more situations. People are learning how to vote for ideas and actions, rather than people. They understand that these votes are not binding. But they also understand that these techniques are often working. The social media campaign sites and apps can and should grow from being a collective rabble to a united voice of reason of the majority of people across the world on what is best for the world. By participating in the social media platforms and campaigns that interest you, you are picking up a wet blanket and helping put out the fires. It might not seem like much, but it is needed while we wait for effective institutions for global governance. A fully developed social media landscape for advocating solutions to sold problems is in reality the only way to recruit a driver for our bus.
