On one hand, having a variety of languages makes the world diverse, more interesting and perhaps even encourages different ways of thinking. On the other hand, the high cost of communicating with multiple languages makes sharing thoughts and ideas harder, and perhaps even hinders our productivity and advancement as a whole. It's a tough call, but I vote for unification. In the name of advancement of humanity, we shall sacrifice diversity!

And choose what as the universal language? I assume, lest it might seem like there is a conflict of interest, that you are thinking of some language you don't speak? Thank you for showing the way in this sacrifice everyone must make.
