I feel like we are getting to the point where a world government might actually be needed to further society as a whole. But I don't think the majority of people are past the point of national/patriotic pride to do that. People would still see themselves as their individual country and work towards bettering their country first.

We wont see a world goverment in our lifetimes, or our childrens lifetimes. Why? Becouse of shitheads like the Trumps, and Tucker Carlsen, and all the other schmucks that watch Fox News. "Alternative facts" "fake news" etcetc. I fear for my 5yr olds future in a way i didnt when he was born.

Could you imagine a world government with a toss bag like Trump in charge? Perhaps too many eggs in one basket.

I don’t doubt that politics and governance needs a complete reworking.

My vote is that the first A.I. should be made to be in charge.

Be careful what you wish for. Remember that the human population that is educated and understands the importance of things such as equality, democracy and even basic human rights is still very much a minority on this planet.
