    If you could aspire to solve one thing for humanity, what would it be?

    It’s okay if it’s not the most logical thing but rather something that has impacted you or your loved ones, etc. I.e. Something that would drive your passion and pursuit of solving it.

      There are so many, but a cure for autoimmune diseases like lupus would be incredible. My father’s side of the family is plagued by lupus, and I have it. It killed both of my grandparents and will like kill my father and uncle. It’ll probably also kill me.

      If I could cure lupus and diseases like it, I would. I’d want to save the world from the suffering it causes.

      UBI.

      I don’t have much imagination or intelligence but I’m pretty sure there’s a million Einstein’s out there who could be solving global warming, deforestation, rising salinity, desertification, leoukemia, species extinction, landlordism, gridscale energy storage and a host of social problems if they weren’t broke-ass and forced to work in soul-crushing retail 9 hours a day just to survive and eat.

      I would want to create a more dynamical system of government… something that complements the way humans actually work. Something that changes and adapts as a first-class feature, but using levers derived from society. It would take air away from political theater, give it instead to real people who have real concerns.

      I’d want something that’s so flexible, safe, perfect… people look back to us arguing about “communism” and “socialism” and they should think we’re a bunch of stupid barbarians for getting stuck here.

      Remove people’s ability to insulate themselves from the consequences of causing harm to others. In a word: accountability.

      Lack of empathy. As society we could do so much if we started caring for each other, working to lift everyone to the same level.

        This was my choice, too. Related to this as well, figuring out how to identify its absence early and find a way to correct course.

        What if propaganda is the exploit of a natural, even beneficial, human process? Belief, trust, faith… we all have to do this. Propaganda just changes the frame around the picture… but there was already a frame there. Compared side by side, both are just frames… Remove the frame, there might not be anything left over.

          I would say that I’m not satisfied with how our species handles belief, trust, and faith. It comes down to how confidently someone talks to them, when someone expressing uncertainty to me indicates more honesty rather than the other way around.

          Though since I have to at least agree that it’s hard to define exactly how it should change, I can adjust to wishing more people were willing to think critically about things.

          Yeah, that’s sadly how specialization tends to work. Most innovators in advanced fields can only push the boundaries after thousands upon thousands of hours of education, research, and honing of skills and knowledge; FTA:

          It has been 30 years since Trøseid first met someone with HIV. That was also around the time the first HIV medications became available – treatments that turned HIV into a chronic condition and, as a result, somewhat reduced the priority of research on the virus.

          “I have followed this field closely for many years, and the fact that we are now starting to talk about the possibility of a functional cure is very meaningful,” he says.

      Sorry of I miss something, but what does that have to do with the topic of this article?

      Your comment kinda sound what a clueless LLM would post on r/AskReddit to farm karma (no offense if you are human, it is just what it looks like).

        The question was tangential; the question came to mind when reading the submission. Scientists devoting much of their life to work spur medical breakthrough: to what would you dedicate your life?

        Not LLM – though even if I was, the question remains – what would you do!?

          Or, OP must sleep and you’re in a different time zone, lol

          Try not to jump to conclusions now; hopefully you’re not the LLM here :|

      Decree that all furniture must have soft, rounded, cushy edges so my pinky can safely find it at night on a zombie run to the bathroom.

      Maybe energy? Or food? Housing? Just… That “one thing”™️ that seems to be the biggest cause for everyone to be at war all the fucking time.
