Clearly it doesn't as the world has been mapped and remapped many hundreds of times
the map I have of the world is flat & spread out
If we made a map of the actual world in 3D
We can bring people together more

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
What a three dimensional map printed on a globe. What an amazing and new idea. But what to call such a map presented on a globe??
call it unity

You're assuming that these various mappings have had political consequences. Go one then, put your money where your capacious gob is and tell me how the various editions of the times atlas have had political consequences. Or the bartholomew atlas, or the atlas in whitakers almanack

I see what your doing … but they are devious !
Its more than a physical map they change
Its a mental one too
the most perfect representation of current affairs ! to date .If everyone was given one of these map-balls, I reckon we'd never have to worry about anything ever again.

What type of map are you envisaging?
You see a conventional political map, mapped from inside out, would yield an exact match of what we already have.
Or is it the the actual effort of bringing states together to undertake this activity that yields the transformative coming together?

Changing the facts
tbf, drawing straight lines across the African continent did have political consequences. And North America
Redrawing the map of Korea to make it North and South did too. And I seem to recall something about boundary lines being redrawn after WW2, and WW1 for that matter, I think that may have led to political consequences too.
etc.
we just have to bring ourselves together

Don't think there are many of the 'one world' types you think you're targetting on here tbh.
A lot of the lefties on here seem to think there's a struggle between authoritarian and liberal states going on. For instance. Their enthusiasm for 'just' war is possibly unprecedented. They may or may not realise the implications of all this.

Yes, I’m liking the idea of the global mapping conference and seeing all the peoples of the world coming together in a massive (Perspex?) globe on to the inside of which they could help each other to colour in the world. As long as they didn’t colour-in over boundaries, there shouldn’t be too much bother, should there?

Fuck no. Slow, decades-long decline (see City win a few more trophies), and a peaceful/ pain-free end.
Wouldn't want an eternity of the shit I've lived through/ brought on myself.
of course, you are a prime candidate for rewiring
