If you could change one thing

[DarkRange55]

If you had the power to change one thing about the world permanently, what would it be?

Get rid of dark triad personalities.

 

[Unknown21]

Eliminate poverty once and for all

 

[EvisceratedJester]

To completely rework how our current world is structured to make it a better place for everyone to live in.

 

[SmallKoy]

It's impossible for me to say for certain what I'd do but one of the first things that comes to mind is removing prejudice from the world.

I would add a UBI (universal basic income) so people wouldn't have to work for a living. That way, I could stay a NEET forever

make it physically impossible for humans to procreate, so that human population would die off on its own

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I'd make it so that the world is fully automated by AI and technology which is implemented such that working is a choice for people to decide as opposed to it being forced upon people against their desires. Oh and of course this technology would improve our quality of life in general

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I would waste this infinitely powerful wish on giving myself a girlfriend.

That's a big question. The possibilities are limitless, and so are the consequences. I wouldn't presume myself brilliant enough to force major change on how society works. That's wrathful god stuff, and might work out as nicely as you think. I also wouldn't want to intrude into anyone's free will. This is permanent, so making some type of policy change is depriving people of choice.

There are more literal slaves (not regular people who just have to take care of themselves like everyone else in human history, I mean literally taken away from your family and owned by other people slaves) than ever in history right now. So one thought I have is to free them. But slavery would continue in the future. So maybe I'd make it a law of existence that if you try to own/sell another human you're immediately stricken with paralysis and AIDS. (Again, this would not apply to, say, anyone who hires people or anyone who gives birth. Only actual kidnappers/slave traders.) I'm sure there's some sort of monkey's paw thing I'm not considering.

Maybe it would just be safer to just give myself a billion dollars. Ah, what the heck, make it ten billion. I may respond again if I think of something better.

Hm. Defo rework what we consider "human rights" for sure. Housing, food, and water should be higher up on the list than they currently are.

Big question though. I'd really have to think about it

 

[ColorlessTrees]

Shove humanity back to village life and symbiotic, natural community—or just myself and those who agree, as I'd hate to have absolute power over the average person; but I see the modern/industrial age as an absolute failure humans didn't evolve for. And while the former has its drawbacks, it beats being a faceless cog in the machine or thr purposeless NEET that I am now. If I wasn't so weak willed and lacking in practical knowledge, I'd rather be a homesteader with the best of both worlds.

 

[Tesha]

Gravity.

^Scratch that. I would give myself $10 billion instead. That way, I could live comfortably. I would also prevent and reverse aging so that I will never age past 25. I will stay 25 maximum forever and never get old or have to go through old age

So if you could stay young and not work, you enjoy life enough that you'd stick around?

I would post mine, but it would probably get me banned from the website

Sounds like a killer deal to me. Pun intended.
