AndreyAsimowIf you could plant a single thought in the minds of everyone on Earth simultaneously, what thought would you choose to share?
moipeThe sudden feeling that they urgently have to poop.

“I should speak less and listen more”
That’s been my new years resolution for 10 years. Never make it.
Could be because talking is a symptom of something else. Maybe what you should be doing is care more.
one of the most caring people i know is also the chattiest. chattiness and caring about others need not be inversely proportional.
Same, and it is a complex subject, but the most caring, chattiest person I know will absolutely recognize when someone need to talk and turn into the best listener I have ever met. In that sense, chatinness is not an issue, and neither is a lack of listening to people. OP mentioned trouble listening.
i see. your initial response seemed to emphasize the negativity of being talkative. now i understand you meant the listening part.
I’ve reached a point in my life where I sometimes go days without saying anything out loud. If I spoke any less I would turn into a black hole of words, absorbing conversations around me
Maybe I’m not an amazing perfect person. Maybe I should try some introspection and look critically at my own thoughts and actions.
Do I really want to live my life dependent on a car?

For personal gain: I should buy Bitcoin
For global gain: let’s focus on the climate
MubelotixIt’s actually compatible. Bitcoin being deflationnary, it would so greatly reduce consumption that capitalism would change forever
Flying SquidYes, the negative impact is negligible compared to its positive impact. The ratio of carbon saved over carbon emitted for my personal usage is over a thousand. The countless shit I didn’t buy thanks to Bitcoin would have been terrible for environment
Especially_the_liesIf it is that I’m planting an idea in people’s heads, then it’s that I’m their king. World peace is only minutes away! Climate change addressed immediately! Corporations stripped of their power in the face of new labor laws!
If I’m just communicating, then it would have to be something absurd, like “bite my shiny, metal ass.”
JackGreenEarthJust because you’re their king now doesn’t mean there wouldn’t almost certainly be a revolution. And even if their wasn’t, you would most likely find managing 8 billion people quite stressful, and you might become consumed by power.

Your body is all you have, it is a machine that is capable of turning your pure will into reality, the world is stuck with you as much as youre stuck with it.
Show animals the same empathy as you do with humans.
HamartiogonicSo… continue to torture, murder and slaughter them by the millions when ever we feel like it?
No, the opposite of that. Blows my mind the effort people put in to help people that dont deserve or dont want to be helped.
But when it comes to animals that dont apply anymore.
You can eat good food without hurting anyone.
Both are true. Humans show great compassion and exceptional cruelty to each other.

“Be excellent to each other”
Carighan MaconarI want to go with something actually world-improving like everyone else is saying.
But let’s be honest, Nestle or the Koch brothers would find some way to monetize that shit, no matter what I do, and turn it into something abhorrend.

I have seem similar thread on Reddit, this answer I liked the most.
Hello can you hear me? Oh wait, wrong planet, sorry
Is the gist of it.
Hello can you hear me? Oh wait, wrong planet, sorry
That actually might have a real effect … like everyone is gonna start fearing a “unknown entity” they alle heard … and that might help people to bond together and overcome their differences.
You can bet stocks like SpaceX will sky rocket in price, since people know there are aliens on other planet now, not just conspiracy or theory.
Military and space exploration will definitely get a buget boost.
You can make a religion out of this
Curiously, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell, was: ‘Oh no, not again.’ Many have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that, we should know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.
~ from a Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams
I’ve read the chapter where it’s explained yesterday, now that I’m also reminded of the context it makes much more sense.
Everything is connected with everything and therefore reacts to everything, so treat you and your surrounding with kindness and empathy.
𞋴𝛂𝛋𝛆There are only a couple thousand billionaires. Their locations are listed here. Today is a World holiday. The official end of colonialism. Redistribution day. The purge.
I don’t want to kill billionaires. I just want them to pay for their fair share based on their exploitation of the broken system we’re forced to live in.
Their fair share would be everything. All they have.
Killing them is not out of spite. It’s because we know they will never give up all they stole.
I’m not inciting any particular outcome. Send them all to be little emperors of Corsica or to a reunion on Reunion. Billionaires are all criminal parasites. That kind of money is not possible when treating people rights and working honestly. Everything that is wrong with the world right now stems from this corruption of a few people that have been left completely unchecked. They bribe and fund more and more corruption in a spiraling feedback loop that will never stop. Their social position must be eliminated. Whatever that means for the human under the surface is what it is. 2k people are irrelevant to the lives of 8 billion humans.
SeanTesticles. That is all.

MaxMalRichtigThat these things in you plate were once feeling, breathing, loving and dreaming individuals. We don’t have the right to exploit and kill them, just because we can.
H2207By that logic no species on this planet has the right to be a carnivore / omnivore. I just want to remind you that evolution happens because the weakest of a generation die off and the stronger / better adapted live on to reproduce hence passing on those better genes.
