    I’m currently reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. There’s a part about fiction where tell about how corporations and even nations are basically fiction. They only exist, because enough people believe in them. If people stop believing in them, their right to exist seizes to exist.

      Nations are a way to determine which area each ‘tribe’ has and usually combined smaller tribes to a larger one.

      I don’t think getting rid of nations will limit the battles between them, I guess you’ll get more as smaller tribes will warr between each other.

      Corporations however, I think we can do without the huge ones. ;)
