You think wanting to eliminate all cultures and form One World Government isn't a totalitarian idea?

Now you're either equivocating or deeply-confused about how you are using the word "culture".
All our beliefs are a product of the culture we are raised in, modified by our personality and life experience. So if you want to "eliminate all cultures" that belief is a product of your cultural context - it's actually a not uncommon product of the culture of American Exceptionalism, which is itself the last gasp of the 19th Century "white Man's Burden".

Let me give you an example -

Murder - we often say that all societies condemn murder, but this is in fact not true. One example of this is the Thugee (from whence Thug), an Indian sub-culture/cult which worshipped Kali and went about murdering travellers.

What if it can be done without great evil but takes 70 years or more?



We had a thread on that subject...
Also infinitely is a big word, it's probably just a matter of technological progress.
