What happens
Our decision to seclude ourselves from the world at large has thus far succeeded in making it easier to enforce our control over the population. However, it is clear that we are hindering ourselves when it comes to the spread of new ideas and inventions. As the world around us is starting to globalize, we see our neighbors benefit from this contact with other nations, while we are left to struggle. Perhaps it is time to re-think our policy?
