      The only thing I would like about it is if everyone used english as their first language. But that isn’t really one of the things they are proposing.

        Many in Europe already learn English as a second language. It is the world’s current de facto auxiliary language after all. I don’t necessarily think that enforcing a global language would be beneficial for humanity as it may hinder the growth of new ideas. Language is a vessel for thought; those vessels can lead to separate positive results.

        English as an auxiliary language isn’t a good thing. That creates privilege where there doesn’t need to be. Instead I think that Europeans should learn a language like Esperanto so that everybody are equal in not having the language as mother tongue.

        It is also a language that is very easy to learn, so it makes it much easier for people with few resources to learn the language.
