    What do you all think is the greatest problem of our time?

    I'm interested to see what you all consider to be the #1 priority.

    Please no fighting. I would like posters to refrain from turning this into a mud slinging contest.

    Religion, and there is no way this thread will end well.

    Racism.

    Some guy just trying to get through the day and week and then he gets all this extra crap dumped on him on top of everything else. Keeping people down just to make you feel superior when they could be making good wages and buying your stuff. Hatred that breeds retaliation.

    I know it's America's greatest problem. When they gave Martin Luther King a national holiday, I was for it.

    I'm white male, btw.

    Religion not being seperated from politics is a big problem. Also, constant meddling of the Western World in countries that are in the evolutionairy stage of the middle ages. We're impressing our modern morals onto societies that think of womenn as property. That is bound to fail... and to top it off, we provide them uneducated with modern weapons. Nope, this thread isn't going to end well.

    Income inequality and the complete lack of innovation in the last 50+ years.

    Hah.

    Probably political and religious bickering hindering progress in a scientific setting, and that which doesn't get hindered then gets ignored at a public level because of political and religious bickering, endorsed by ignorant celebrities.

    The fact that technology has evolved faster than the average person's ability to handle the responsibility that comes with it. People can do some serious harm to the environment, if they are not careful, and generally we simply don't consider the consequences as much as we should in those cases.

    It is like a minor version of "With great power comes great responsibility". We don't all exactly have great power, but we do have access to some things that can cause more harm than what was previously widely available to people. I'm not sure I'm explaining this well enough, but I hope some people understand my point.

    Edit: It is mostly with regards to chemicals, and hunting / fishing too much in some areas. I don't think it will end well if it continues.

    Primitive barbaric thoughts and actions being rewarded by our economic system.


    But if i had take a specific problem it has to be poverty.
    Mainly because of all the lives it takes, but also how it deranges and radicalizes people.

    Religion, climate, unsustainability.
    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    Ignorance and the Uneducated. It leads to everything that everyone else already mentioned and a lot worse.

    Religion is Not the issue, but lack of proper religion is.

    Every other problem is pretty much spelled out in the Bible as a no-no.

    Gullibility. Too many people spouting nonsense, and too many lives and money lost because of it.
