[Fargus]

I would rid the world of religion.

I would rid the world of religion.

I'd like to take your answer and change it to violent religions. Don't mind religions that make people act nice for whatever reason.

[Kifimbo]

or remove the entire bieber family and everythign involved with it from history

Decrease the world's population down to 400 million.

Add an extra 1% income tax on everyone and the money would go to me.

Anyway,OT: Get rid of religion on a global scale.

[Raptor With a Saber]

Humans...get rid of them all and replace us with Dinosaurs that never left imagine 50million years of social advancement.....

[Darth Steve]

I'd give everyone religion.

I would make an abundant supply of red-headed women available to anyone in need.

I'd also do a technology share - not completely equitable, but enough so that countries don't lack basic infrastructure, clean water, quality power and internet lines, etc.

[Noomz]

... what would it be?

I'd give humanity this guy. Incase you don't know him, he's the God Emperor of Mankind in Warhammer 40k.

Remove corruption from the world. Every instance of it, everywhere.

I would rid the world of religion.

You know when a religious fanatic comes praising some stupid things? There's also an similar instance on the other side, people like you, who do the same from the other side, the atheist side.

[Cafua]

Make WoW the first virtual reality game that is amazing

[zealo]

A bit too low???

Anyway,OT: Get rid of religion on a global scale.

No. Depends on if all of those 400 would live on the same continent i guess. The population increase have accelerated quite a bit during the last century.

As for OT: I would remove certain religions i don't quite agree with.

[Kalis]

I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.

[Haven]

I'd tear down the existing economy system that governs everything, turning people into mindless consumers, shackling them with loans, hampering the progress because oil billionaires would never allow alternative energy sources to be used on a wide scale... and entrust governing mankind to a machine. Because machine can't be corrupted, it wouldn't want billions of dollars, it wouldn't want Bentleys, it wouldn't want to waste millions of taxpayers' money on elite hookers, etc. All a machine would want is most rational, optimal way to progress mankind, coordinating every last one of us instead of measuring penises and flexing muscles in geopolitical scale.

Make it so everyone always has nutritious food. If you haven't food you can't do much else for yourself. If you aren't starving, you can build a house, even if its a crappy one, and make clothes, even if they are shoddy ones.

[derpkitteh]

people seem quite content to be the pathetic wastes they are, so i think i'd just spare myself dealing with it anymore and remove myself.

a lot of things i'd like to remove, alcohol, tobacco, replace religion with agnosticism. idk though, i guess i'd just remove myself, just prevent myself from ever existing. even if i do make the world a better place by removing bad things, i'll still have to face death one day and i'm too big of a coward for that.

[Lesali]

Why is it that whenever people talk about changing things, they just talk about things they'd remove?

[Deleted]

I would turn 10% of all worldwide military spending in a worldwide international army budget and turn the rest into science and technology funding.

[Moonhound]

At this point, I would select either greatly increasing the logical prowess of humans or greatly increasing the cognitive empathy of humans. I'm not sure which would be more valuable on its own. I suspect cognitive empathy would be, but I think increasing reason lends itself to naturally developing it.

Either this ^, with the expectation that we manage to create utopia, where the planet itself and all its animals are cared for as well.

Or the total obliteration of mankind.
