Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we were actually able to choose something that we could get rid of permanently?
We’d be able to make the world a better place with the snap of our fingers!
Well, at least we can daydream, I guess…
Folks on AskReddit talked about what they’d get rid of in the world if they had the power.
Let’s take a look.
1. Is it too late?
“Climate change.
What’s coming is truly awful and there’s no escape for anyone.”
2. It was a different time.
“9/11
I miss pre-9/11 culture.”
3. Scary.
“Dementia. I am a young person, who forget things too much.
One of my greatest fear is d**ng alone, the other is that my tendency of forgetting things will develop into dementia, and I won’t be able to remember my precious memories.
Who are we without our memories.”
4. We wish.
“Gullibility.
I feel like once critical thinking is widespread we can work together and accomplish everything else people mentioned in this thread.”
5. A hot take.
“Religion.
I don’t want to get rid of all those religious people. I would just like to have them base their kindness or h**e on something I can reason with.
It’s harder to be an extremist if we are all working with the same reality based on facts.”
6. Get rid of all of it.
“I am going with war.
It has the added side effect of taking out the industrial military complex too!”
7. Yes.
“Bad parents.
A child that grows up without love is incredibly more likely to become an addict, abusive, violent, turn to a path of crime and so on.
So much of human related problems in the world can be solved if kids just receive love.”
8. Just imagine…
“Every trace of human pollution that has ever existed.
Like pressing a reset button on Earth.”
9. Not worth it.
“Jealousy/Comparing to others.
The least spoken and the most evil thing for a human being.
Life would be so much happy if it wasn’t for this.”
10. Get busy!
“Probably would delete everyone’s need to sleep.
Think about what more you can do with those extra 8 hours.”
11. Harmful.
“Andrew Wakefield’s discredited study linking vaccines and autism.
One man has caused so much irreparable damage to society by sowing distrust in modern medicine.”
12. You never know…
“Social Media.
It’s proven to drastically affect your mental health, and I honestly believe that it’s going to be a major cause of the extinction of our species because of the amount of misinformation that is spread through them.”
13. Dangerous stuff.
“S**tty conspiracies.
Bye bye covid deniers, flat earthers, and anything else that’s blatantly stupid/harmful.”
