Exactly, that is obviously a huge problem that generates a great deal of wastefulness, that's why English as a mandatory second language is the solution.

There is nothing more wasteful then learning different sounds and letters for exactly same meanings, so be grateful that we have just one language that asserted itself so we can just learn that one.

This is actually a massively interesting topic, if you want to discuss it without a lot of anger. I mean, in the grand scheme of things, a single unifying language on earth would be an amazing way to break down political and cultural barriers. It is actually wasteful to have more than one... but as language is such an important part of human development, it isn't easy to just get rid of them.

Now, I'm an English speaker, so let me say that I don't think English is the best language... only that it is currently the most widely spoken. If in time some other language replaces it, that's fine... just so long as ultimately it is spoken everywhere.

Yep, it would significantly accelerate progress in all aspects of human life, and tens of billions of euros would be saved every year.

English is not my native language but I stopped reading books and everything else in my language a long time ago, I just realized how silly it was to read everything from second hand and get all my information poorly translated, delayed and filtered.

Also it is really annoying to hear people say that learning languages is somehow very precious, like it's an actual knowledge, when in fact it is an exercise in futility.

Because by learning languages you only waste your time learning different sounds and letters that relay the same meaning, no knowledge is gained whatsoever.

The only barrier is the irrational psychological barrier of nationalism, so you can actually kill two birds with one stone.
