Re: What is something you’d delete from earth?
'Eliminate' runs the risk of unintended consequences, When I get my godlike powers, I think I'll just tweak things: reduce the human tendency to follow charismatic (and all too often evil) leaders by about 70%, reduce tribalism by about half, increase intelligence by 20 or 30% . . .
Ah, sociopaths! I'd eliminate that particular mental disorder altogether, also some of the personality disorders. No loss at all.
Also, fundamentalist tribal religion of all varieties, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or other.
Eliminating mosquitoes' attraction to humans would be nice, also.Last edited by Keith Wilson; 06-01-2023, 08:32 AM."For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations,
