  Greetings:

  Humans are clearly incapable of the necessary behavioral discipline to propel us effectively into the future and therefore must be replaced with AI, automation, and robotics at strategic levels of decision making importance.

  War, conflict, violence (real and simulated), narcissistic, abusive and exploitative tendencies, selfishness and greed, simply put, have no place in an improvement oriented evolutionary trajectory of an advancing civilization.

  Therefore we must begin the phase out of humans at the most critical decision making levels in all aspects/stages of these mechanisms of local, regional, and global utility and oversight.

  That includes every current institution: Academic, Governmental, Religious, Health Care, Economic, Philanthropic, etc.

  All current institutions are vestigial links to agrarian and industrial based systems which have far outlived their usefulness and have been clearly exploited over the centuries to enslave and abuse the populace.

  These systems (AI, automation, robotics) will naturally evolve to improved efficiencies over the accelerating course of time and allow humans to focus on the creative, intellectual, imaginative, and humanity benefiting pursuits for which we are most clearly designed.

  I chose "other" because i believe in a "world government" as in anarcho-syndicalist/libertarian socialist federations. Globalization is a reality, but we should also respect the opinions and interests of indigenous populations. I suggest a reading of books like Metaman to writings of Chomsky and Goldman along with researching modern sweatshops, slavery, and inequality in a world which is turning into a global "superorganism"

  This poll does not offer Federalism as an option. "One world government" is not federalism, but neither is maintaining national sovereignty under an overarching international authority. We do not have one American government, but states are not sovereign.

  There is the suggestion (a false dilemma) implicit in the answers that there is either no global governance or that there is a global "status quo." This should be explained further.
