I remember the joke from the late, great Ronald Reagan about a Soviet citizen ordering a car. When he was told it would be delivered in 10 years the buyer asked ‘morning or afternoon’? ‘Why does it matter’ asked the bemused Car Salesman; ‘I’ve got the plumber coming in the morning’ came the reply.
Who could imagine a world without political borders? No borders means no countries. No countries means no civilization. No civilization means rule by the strongest, most ruthless barbarians, i.e. the Stone Age.
I visited in 2019 crossing the border from Ukraine on my own. I went to their capital but quickly took a bus to the second largest city. I stayed in a really cool old soviet hotel. The staff was charming

I don't really know what you do, but judging strictly on the merit of your thoughts, I think you should stick to the surface polishing dimension of your personality. You are after all a very superficial man.

"superficial implies a concern only with surface aspects or obvious features. a superficial analysis of the problem shallow is more generally derogatory in implying lack of depth in knowledge, reasoning, emotions, or character."
