If you had the power to change one thing about the world permanently, what would it be?
@sserafim @SmallKoy @Pluto please show the class your work
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.
