Oh, you little defeatist.

Your argument that the wealthy/educated will survive is somewhat flawed. The population growth in poorer/less educated areas well surpasses the wealthy/career orientated(1.7 children) sectors of the communitee. Wealthy countries also have a lower birth-rate then that of 'Third World' countries.

You say we can't physically evolve due to lack of diversity. But people are beginning to concentrate more on spirituality. I believe you are right in saying a cultural empathy will create a more harmonious future and as religion is usually a main factor of a culture, I believe we will start recognising the similarities and incorporating the best from all into a universal understanding.

Insects suck as world rulers. Ants have no empathy what-so-ever.
