Fair enough. I just googled the meaning of "hegemony" and it said "leadership or dominance, especially by one state or social group over others". So what I mean is that Europe doesn't necessarily need to be dominant in the world, but it should be able to stand up for itself.

we literally need to get to a single-world-government as soon as possible to secure our survival as a species

I've thought about that a little bit. Perhaps such a government could help resolve disputes. It could perhaps prevent terrible wars like those in Gaza, Ukraine, and Sudan. Maybe a single world government will happen at some point, in the distant future.

We would need to get to a post-scarcity civilization first. Something we could actually do if we all decided collectively we wanted it more than our immediate rewards and if we had guidance in that direction and leadership that also wanted it.

So yeah, probably a thousand years from now when AI runs the planet or when we're all dead and the apes and robots can make utopia.
