First off, I disagree that a common language means a common culture. There are a lot of distinct cultures that share a language.<p>Personally I don&#x27;t care that much about the ease of doing business. Rather, I think standardizing on a language would have a real benefit for humanity as a whole.<p>Apart from practical considerations, think about how often people from other countries are somewhat dehumanized as an &quot;other&quot; or &quot;the enemy&quot; without you being able to get a view of the situation from the other side of the fence because of the language barrier. I&#x27;m wondering for instance if the Cold War could have happened in a world where both parties share a language while being connected over the Internet.<p>Also, congrats on the unnecessary Nazi comparison.
