What can we do to fight for a better world?

[Fencers]

Who is making the decisions to move resources?

Whatever body is given responsibility by the public for allocating a given resource.

Without an information and accounting system

Wealth is not needed for either of these.

Nothing, the world is doomed. Enjoy your stay.

Removing Religion would be a first great step.

Disclaimer -- I'm agnostic, and I don't particularly like religion.

With that said, I disagree with you. Religions tend to thrive on persecution, so removing religion is unlikely. Further, people will believe what they choose, even in the face of persecution, which makes the removal of religion even more pointless. Pointless? Yes, because if it were removed, it would still be remembered, and new religions would simply fill the void.

As much as I'm not a fan of religion, I'll give credit where it is due. Many religions have positive aspects that tend to get lost in their internal politics. This goes to prove human nature more than it establishes religion as something negative.

Rather than derailing to an extended discussion of religion, however, contemplate cheerleaders!

Dont fight for a better world, just try to be a better person.

[Stormspark]

Ok there Agent Smith...

Edit: In order to fix all the fucked up shit in our world, you would need to ban every religion and their institutions entirely.

That's the thing. Agent Smith was 100% right when talking about humans. The only thing he wasn't right about was the machines being the cure.

[Locruid]

Start by banishing Liberals

[Triks]

1. Stop being afraid of one-another.
2. Stop misunderstanding individualism.
3. Live within out means.

The thing is, even the supposed benefits of religion are entirely built on lies and manipulation, and as far as human nature, it really doesn't speak well of us that we allow it to continue. I think most people are smart enough to know deep down that religious beliefs are mostly bullshit, they just continue to stick with it because they would rather just shut off their brains to get a warm fuzzy feeling inside. In the modern world, religion is less important because we can just fill that void with consumer goods instead, and economies develop in poorer areas we should see religious practices fade into obscurity as they are simply no longer needed.

@Macaquerie Since religion is a banned topic I'll refer to the last part of the language you quoted.

Thus ...

No, the toxic mindset where the world is only divided into a certain type of Liberals and Conservatives, both of course only by US-American standards, needs to be banished altogether.

[shadowmouse]

More than a little bit pedo there mate.

o.O

Since they're mainly in their 20s and have normal appearances for their age and ethnicity ... ya may need to get outside more. The Olympic beach volleyball cheerleaders are recruited from the universities. On the other hand, I can think of several women here in their thirties who don't look much older.

[Dyluck]

Get rid of reality TV. Hopefully that will begin a process where we stop rewarding people for being stupid and attention seeking for quick fame.

[Mihalik]

Step 1. Don't allow kids to come into contact with religions or new age bullshit until 18.
Step 2. Base all education on scientific principles. Your personal beliefs do not belong in children's education.

[Wikiy]

Perhaps try some meditation. All the answers you seek are within.

How about you meditate while I actually help the human species with physics?

You list yourself as being from Croatia which was in a 4 year long war for independence 1991-1995, and this is just 1 of ~30 armed conflicts in Europe since the 90's.
Not really a continent at peace if you ask me.

It's the most peaceful continent. If you really are bothered by the idea of the continent being at peace, you can imagine me having said "the EU" or even something completely unrelated "Australia". It truly does not matter. There are many societies dedicated to things that have nothing to do with destructive influences, and you people, ironically, wish they were destroyed.

[Shadowferal]

Creationism, what a refinement indeed. "B-but you know evolution is just a theory, right?"
Galileo proving the earth is round, better lock him in his house for the rest of his life on orders of the pope.

Galileo was also a devout Catholic.

The only ones to thank for science as we know it today are the people who gradually invented the world as we know it today, despite religion.

Said people that were also devoutly religious/spiritual.

But if you want to re-write history so it agrees with you...go ahead.
Just don't confuse it with the truth.

We should tell the USA to stop playing world police. Would make the world a much better place.

Comparing Europe pre-EU to post-EU even more so comparing EU members currently to them before the EU, it's all infinitely more peaceful.

Debatable. It's not whether the US should play world police or not, but rather what conflicts it focuses on and how that is an important question.

Just one of countless examples is the Pakistan-India conflict, where US diplomatic weight and threat of intervention kept the conflict mostly muted for half a century. That between two nuclear armed nations.

The US presence in Korea and Japan, allowed those nations to develop into mostly peaceful, prosperous nations.

NATO contained much of the ethnic tensions and geopolitical conflicts in Europe. If anything, the US should adopt a much more aggressive containment policy against Russia.

Again, there are many other examples to be had.

Tho there are also plenty of spectacular failures.

Iraq, Iran (over and over again), Afghanistan, Israel, the Arab Spring, etc.

[Shadowferal]

And they should stop throwing money into other countries too.

[lonely zergling]

As long as no one holds USA accountable for their warcrimes and illegal attacks the world is no good place. The drone terror alone is reason enough to boycott the USA completly.

Who watches the watchers? We need a second watchdog.

[Vargur]

Get rid of religion for one. Too many religious groups butting their noses into scientific stuff.

And speed up globalisation.
