Mi piacerebbe moltissimo conoscere come affronteresti questi problemi. Piacerebbe anche a me, specie se si riuscisse a coinvolgere altri pensatori. Finora tutte le critiche allo status quo, che provoca crescenti disuguaglianze e consumo di risorse, anche di economisti come Piketty o Romer, restano nel quadro di un modello basato su nazioni westfaliane e sul capitalismo di mercato.
Il filosofo Mosterín riflette sul superamento degli stati-nazione attraverso Internet. In una digital utopia si eviterebbe la netta contrapposizione tra maggioranza e minoranza che impongono scelte non accettate da tutti, in quanto ciascuno aderisce a quella comunità di cui accetta gli ideali. Modern liberal democracy is a compromise between the twin ideals of freedom and democracy. Mosterín emphasizes their differences: freedom comes down to doing what I want to do; democracy, to doing what (the majority of) the others want me to do. Rejecting as muddled the metaphysical notion of free will, he focuses on political freedom, the absence of coercion or interference by others in my personal decisions. Because of the tendencies to violence and aggression that lurk in human nature, some constraint on freedom is necessary for peaceful and fruitful social life, but the more freedom we enjoy, the better.[24] Especially, there is no rational ground for curtailing the cultural freedoms (of language, religion and customs) in the name of the nation, the church or the party. From this point of view, Internet provides a much more attractive model than the obsolete nation-state or the nationalistic movements. Mosterín thinks that the nation-state is incompatible with the full development of freedom, whose blossoming requires the reorganization of the world political system along cosmopolitan lines. He proposes a world without nation-states, territorially organized in small autonomous but not-sovereign cantonal polities, complemented by strong world organizations.[25] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesús_Moster%C3%ADn
