[Is the Independent Digital Nomad Possible?] If everyone in the world became an Internet user, the “world as one” is still mere fantasy. A human being cannot live, by definition, without History=Story. One needs one’s own personal or public myth. For some, it would be family, local community, company, army or nation. For others, religion, ideology or simply the dream of being something. In any case, having History=Story is everybody’s right and as such, is always a potential source of conflicting “rights.” Fighting and wars will not disappear as far as divers communities (divers Histories=Stories) exist.In this sense, Early Buddhism is an anomaly among religions. There is no God nor absolute Creator of the world, Buddha simply says:”Destroy your desire and realize NIRVANA” because “he who destroys desire overcomes all suffering” and, “through the cessation of ignorance, KARMA-formations cease; through the cessation of KARMA formations, consciousness ceases; through the cessation of consciousness, name-and form ceases . . . . and through the cessation (extinction) of desire, ignorance ceases.” NIRVANA, therefore, is the cessation of desire and finally of existence.Since human existence is supported by History=Story, Buddha’s teachings are commensurate with the cessation of the History=Story. However, as making and having a History=Story is human nature, the realization of NIRVANA is almost impossible. (Needless to say those who realized NIRVANA were few and called “Buddha”). In present times, the numbers of people with very weak and feeble History=Story is on the incline. They have the sense of being displaced and mentally nomadic. Some have lost their own communities for varying reasons and some never had such communities from the start. I believe that these people hold the key to the possibility of real “globalization.”I do not profess destroying desire and realizing NIRVANA, but if category (3) people increase and category (4) people are equipped with sufficient informational tools, the situation may gradually change. Fighting and war will never disappear, but at the minimum stupidity will not be the driving force behind incidents such those the Japanese incited in 1923 (and later); independent people with sufficient information will never succumb to mass hysteria.
