I was thinking about how we (USA) are always in continuous (ghost) wars and never try to negotiate for peace, to my knowledge.

How would a peaceful world look like?

One country and one languague or would a world power have to forcibly join everyone together?

Is the most common language really Spanish? I thought it might be Mandarin.

Yeah, I looked it up and I am way off! It’s actually…. (drumroll) English at about 19% followed by Mandarin with 13, then Hindi at about 8%.

You mean to tell me that 60% of the world speaks “other”?

The top 10 add up to about 65%, with the last several having about a 3.5% share each.
