Private property. Remove that and many problems will solve themselves real quick, though that will also cause a large number of human deaths before things stabilize

Merge mind. That it.

I want all people on earth link their mind, to become one.

Because most of hardship, miserable i had in my life was cause by another.

If we link our mind, each each of a "body" as our own, they we are much better happy and archived more than what we are now.

So you'd sacrifice individuality? That's a good scifi one.

If The internet gets good enough with chips in our head and everything. I guess that's what we'd basically have. Access to each other's memories and senses. Just ghosts and an internet of flesh

Nothing because there is nothing guaranteeing the better world would remain intact.

I'd give it 3-4 generations...

I would don the black hood and swing the ax

Tis messy work, but it's gotta be done

Sometimes I sit down and muse about the great world we could create if everything was owned by the state, only approved speech was allowed, if only the best people were allowed to reproduce and everyone was only allowed to think approved thoughts. Like to get my Utopia I am even willing to subject an innocent child to a life of constant suffering and misery...

Would you sacrifice your sex hormones? No more estrogen or testosterone.

take it, pls

Would you sacrifice your flesh? No more body. Brain slurped out at birth, wired up to the internet.

[–] SurfinBird@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

You’re not doing a very good job of selling it, but the concept has merit.

[–] m532@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Probably not, that sounds dangerous

[–] wreckingball4good@lemm.ee -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't think a better world would include sacrificing those freedoms actually. That's some tankie shit.

Me sitting in a tank: "hand over your freedums, in exchange you get freedom"
