If I Could Change The World

[The Hammer]

POOF! A magical being(of your preference) has just given you the chance to change three things in the world. Any three things. They must, however, be of a global nature, so simply changing three personal things or three things that affect any one area's situation won't work.

The three things can be of any nature(such as requiring that everyone in the world wear yellow pants on Thursdays or making guns vanish from the planet), but they must apply all over.

What would your three changes be?

Nukes and the knowledge of how to build them (as a weapon) would be gone.

Eliminate roughly 2/3 population at random (could be me too, oh well).

Anthropgenic footprint would be reversed.

Edit: yes, I understand point #2 is controversial

New Scriptures that are rational, reliable, apply to our present age, don't contradict themselves, and don't conflict with love or the golden rule.

A one-world state that is an all seeing political party, and the Spirit of this State, is a wide awake , omniscient, female Sentient being.

A world with a Prophet who heals quadriplegics and many other diseases and disorders, as well as ends confusion and division. Every time that Prophet dies, someone takes his office, receives his Spirit, and is his mouthpiece, Vicar, inspired by his Spirit!

(He would have his own new Church [Synagogue, or some name for a religious institution] and a new Bible, and New Covenant. The old is outdated and contradicts itself.)

End all hunger permanently
End all shelter shortages permanently
End all brain/bodily defects permanently

In my opinion.

Can I get a holodeck instead?

You got it!

1. Give everyone a divine sense of humor. So if ever someone loses theirs and wants to rule the world, the rest of the world starts laughing.

2. Have everyone automatically do one kind thing every day without expecting a reward.

3. What @Shadow Wolf said about chocolate.

 

[Stevicus]

1. A what?

Replicator | Memory Alpha | Fandom

2. Huh?

Holodeck | Memory Alpha | Fandom

I take it you're not a Trekker - or even a Trekkie.

No matter. You'll still get your replicator and holodeck, and believe me, you'll love it.

So , how does the person decide who are the 2/3rds of the world's population that must be exterminated? What criteria?

How do they die?

No, I'm not real familiar with Star Trek(but familiar enough to know what you're referring to by 'Trekkie'), but I do see the advantage these gadgets might have...

Though my son would probably find a 2002 Buick Regal and replicate it about 946 times...

I'm hoping chosen at random, let the Universe decide. Hence why I said could be me too. No criteria.

No clue. Turn to dust like in Avengers?

 

[Bill Starr]

I wouldn't want immortality in this reality after a few thousand years I would be bored silly and likely would wish I could die. So maybe to be in perfect health all my life. That I could know all aspects of the afterlife before I die. That i would always see the truth in things. Yep all selfish things remember its for fun.

What about limiting human reproduction to two children per woman (as long as circumstances aren't optimal)?

1. Raise average IQ by 5 points.
2. Reserve for emergency.
3. Reserve for emergency.

 

[stvdv]

Sure.
Magical wishes (per the OP) work that way.

I see a huge difference in:
1) Eliminate the mean people
2) Enlighten the mean people

 

[stvdv]

Nukes and the knowledge of how to build them (as a weapon) would be gone.

And that humans feel no need to have such weapons, starting with all those TelePoison ln Hollywood movies about mass destruction which feed fear and therefore keep war business going, hence greedy for dollars better be gone too

 

[stvdv]

Anthropgenic footprint would be

It all comes down to human desire to control and dominate others, which proves how "sick" humans are, as some allowed such sick games, to dominate the other, even in their sex lives

Seems to me 1) can be used to achieve 2)

So after all, nukes might solve another problem in the END

No diseases,

No wars,

and a money free society (which means no greed, crime or poverty).

I don't know if the last one's possible but in one sci-fi movie The Host (2013) such an idea was promoted.

#2 accomplishes #1.

 

[stvdv]

#2 accomplishes #1.

Almost, though a subtle difference
#2 eliminates "meanness" not "people"

You're inferring something I don't intend.
I didn't plan on putting mean people in the ovens.
Can we give this a rest?
