Globalism

All human beings have equal moral worth regardless of where they were born, and that borders are administrative conveniences, not moral boundaries.

About

  • In 1948, when the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it made a claim so audacious it still hasn't been fully absorbed: every human being, everywhere, has inherent dignity and equal rights — not because of their citizenship, their ethnicity, their religion, or their usefulness, but because they're human. Full stop.

    Your worldview takes this seriously. When a child drowns in the Mediterranean trying to reach Europe, that child's life is not worth less than a child drowning in a swimming pool in your neighborhood. When a family flees a war zone, their suffering doesn't become less real because it's happening on the other side of a border you didn't draw. The moral circle that stops at the national border is not principled — it's arbitrary.

    The philosopher Peter Singer posed a thought experiment that crystallizes this: if you walked past a drowning child in a pond, you would save them without hesitation, even if it ruined your expensive shoes. But thousands of children die every day from preventable causes, and you could save some of them for the cost of those shoes. What's the moral difference? Distance? Nationality? The color of the passport? None of these are morally relevant — they're just psychologically convenient.

    This worldview also has a hard pragmatic edge. Climate change doesn't respect borders. Pandemics don't check passports. Nuclear proliferation threatens everyone. The problems that will define the 21st century are global by nature, and the instinct to retreat behind national walls is not just morally narrow — it's strategically suicidal. Your security depends on the stability of places you'll never visit, and your economy depends on the prosperity of people you'll never meet.
