Discussion What sort of change would you like to see in the world?

[deedeme]

If there are any at all.

 

[Quiet_Cricket]

There's a lot but one of them is that I wish people had empathy.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I wish that people who don't want to participate in this life have access to a peaceful method they can use whenever they want

 

[FuneralCry]

For this world to permanently disappear into nothingness of course. This evil place is an abomination, it should never exist. The fact that life exists in the first place is a terrible, horrific tragedy, it's really disgusting how the existence of life has ultimately caused so much endless suffering and meaningless torment, in fact existence causes nothing but harm.

To me it's like a virus how deluded humans so selfishly continue to procreate even know existence is only suffering and I believe that all suffering is unacceptable and best avoided. Only eternal nothingness is true perfection, the only peace lies in the absence of everything.

 

[Slow_Farewell]

Put a heavier weight on facts compared to feelings.

 

[ctbcat]

... more cats :] probably not good for natural balance, though... i just love my cat, and she came into my room a sec ago. i would've been dead a lot younger if i didn't have her

 

[fleshgarden]

I wish people were more understanding of others. empathy. this would get rid of a lot of problems. maybe all of the problems in the world

 

[GroundControl]

A bigger crack down on

Spoiler: SA mention

sex crimes.

I am so tired of people getting away with what they do to others, or slaps on the wrist. In the US, you'll get a longer sentence for dealing than for assault.

Awhhhhhhhh >W< !!!! I agree more cats!! >:3

 

[sserafim]

Overthrow of society and capitalism

I wish that people who don't want to participate in this life have access to a peaceful method they can use whenever they want

Same

 

[divinemistress36]

Euthanasia for treatment resistant mental illness

 

[LifeIsCrazyNemb]

Overthrow of society and capitalism

That a good one. Im curious to know how would a global comunism regime be in pratice (real marx comunism, not a stalinism or a maomism or a cuban comunism).
Unfortunately i wont be alive for that lol

 

[deadwalkid]

I just wish they could stop lying.

 

[Life_and_Death]

consideration
its called 50/50, give and take.
yet most seem to think everything revolves around them and this is making me sick of giving a fuck about others

 

[Homo erectus]

They can make 100% human-like robotic slaves to replace human, do whatever they want with them, and then provide euthanasia to people who don't want to live.

Same, sadly I won't be alive to see it.

Do you think that in that scenario (marx comunism, not capitalism) the suicide rate would drop?

 

[Linda]

I wish we could learn to show greater respect to those who are different from us. (If we could learn how to have greater understanding too, that would be even better, but maybe it's not possible to really understand people who are different from us, or whose life experiences are very different from ours.) It's something I have always tried to do, and I can reasonably claim to have had some success, but nowhere near 100% success.

The problem is basically one of biology. Humans evolved in a world in which we spent almost all our time in our own small group (typically 10 - 50 people). We evolved to be very wary of anyone from outside that group, anyone a bit "different", in case they might be a threat - because they often were. But what helped us to survive back in the Stone Age is now a liability. Today, someone different from me is very unlikely to be a threat to me, but the biological response to anyone different is so deep-seated that it keeps surfacing even when we don't need it. The way I deal with it is to accept that prejudice against anyone very different from me is a natural response, and is going to happen sometimes, so I shouldn't feel uncomfortable with myself if I start to feel it, but I do have an obligation to then suppress that primitive response and respond in a more rational way.

 

[sserafim]

Honestly, I'm not sure. What about you?

 

[kermudgeon]

Sorry- this is a farfetched dream:

I want replicators like on star trek but for everything, not just food. At first they would probably be controlled by the rich, but people would be replicating replicators in no time. Then food would be free and so would everything else. No more trucks polluting the world just to get us our precious travel-size deodorants and cheetos. That alone would probably curb climate change. And the replicated food would all but do away with animal ag, except for the holdouts who didn't trust the replicated foods, and I get that.

Anyways, I said is was a farfetched dream

 

[UKscotty]

A major investment into mental health and suicide prevention.

It's tragic so many of us are driven to suicide because governments and pharmaceutical companies don't care.

The countries that do care just don't have the resources.

Most of the major players are in the UK or US and its more profitable to keep people sick. Neither country does much on suicide prevention and its too easy for people to kill themselves yet so hard to get help.

 

[F@#$]

Fuck the world, the world is fucked anyway. The best change is me not being a participant in this bullshit anymore.

Literally

 

[FutureHanger]

abolition of oppressive hierarchies but I know that regardless of CTB that won't happen in my lifetime

Progress often starts with somebody's far-fetched dream. I have to say that Star Trek replicators does seem very farfetched, but something like the internet would have seemed utterly far-fetched when I was a child, so who knows what might be possible?

 

[Joker2003]

I just wish that we lived in a world where everyone would be kind to each other. A world with no racism, sexism, ableism, or violence would be amazing-- a peaceful world with no war where humans look out for each other.

Even a little kindness and understanding can go a long way.

It's too bad that modern American society is so cold, cruel, self-centered, and individualistic. It feels like no one cares or thinks about other people anymore.

 

[vak]

Could we just normalize being nice and compassionate? And this not being a sign of weakness but strength, esp. in men?

 

[LaVieEnRose]

Looksism becomes less prevalent.

Congenital problems become extinct.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I wish everyone would be more willing to accept that they have cognitive biases too and that no amount of intelligence makes you immune to it.

 

[Argo]

If we're talking about reality as a whole, the best thing to wish for would be a total removal of all consciousness, and somehow a total containment of all consciousness from ever appearing. But that's just a kind of maximally ideal fantasy wish sort of thing.

If we're talking about Earth only... something would have to go "wrong" where someone benevolent(or pro-socially psychopathic) were to somehow gain totalitarian control over the world, annihilate the power structure, and engineer a genuinely benevolent species that is somehow persistently immune to the reality of covert evil being the winning strategy in our world.

But it's a little bit like articulating the problem of predators in the wild and asking, "What would need to happen for the Zebras and all the other herbivores to be truly free from the Lions? Well... something... would have to happen, where the irredeemable things at the top of the power structure, the lions, were eradicated, and the Zebras somehow ensured that they themselves did not just turn into the "new Lions" with time, while also not finding themselves the victims of some future "Lions 2.0" that would appear with a matter of time" And it all just becomes a kind of fantasy scenario just like the first one where we're asking a genie for a wish.
