Ethnic Restaurants

When humans dine on Earth 2.0, will they have a wide array of ethnic cuisine to choose from?  I hope so, but not at the expense of ethnic warfare. If the latter is necessary for the former to exist, then perhaps porridge, broth, grog and ale will have to suffice. It would be a shame, though, if future people could not enjoy eggplant parmesan or a savory enchilada.

The larger question is whether humans will place so many borders around themselves in their new world. With free will, anything's possible. That's why I'm so keen on you giving people free will with restrictions. They won't have to know about the restrictions -- just like we don't know how the universe came to be. Make it outside the realm of possibility. People will realize that they can live wherever they want (e.g., right here, over by that mountain, near the white sandy beach), but they won't have the capacity to label a certain space a country or a state or a city.

Do you realize how much money could be saved in forest ranger outfits alone, if we didn't have so darn many governmental units? Just one design and one color, not hundreds or thousands of variations!
