Not Quite Compassion...

Are the artificial boundaries of human creation like state, country, ethnicity necessary to make society function? Probably. We use divisions to better understand ourselves and to feel a part of something. They also create competition, catalyzing growth in a myriad of ways, may it be, moral, intellectual, economic etc. At the same time, these boundaries create a hindrance for understanding and enacting a global compassion, leading to a norm of hunger, lack of education and HIV/AIDS in some countries and the "Super Size," country clubs, and superb education in others. Here is my solution: we find some aliens living on a nearby planet. Well, no, not quite, we create them. We clone earth with everyone and everything on it and place it a couple thousand miles away. Maybe, since not out of compassion and love that people will lift up each human on our planet to a life without poverty, the competition from the alien planet nextdoor will create a natural competition. Each planet wants to be better, richer etc. etc.
