“Chronic back pain. Not only is it debilitating but it is also the cause of plenty of negative downsides. Misery, anger, you name it. I reckon if I wasn’t in so much pain all the time from an early age then a lot of my issues wouldn’t exist. They can all be traced to back-to-back problems. As strange as it sounds. For me anyway!”

“Light pollution. The unpolluted night sky has been a source of inspiration to our species since the time before the historic record. Our unpolluted night sky is an indirect source of everything man has accomplished. And without it, we have stagnated as a species. For everyone to be able to stare at our unpolluted night sky would bring inspiration back to our species and allow us to move forward again. I believe removing light pollution would solve many of the problems we have today, at least indirectly.”

“The act of Adultery: I have seen so many Kids grow up messed up because of broken families and adulterous parents. I have seen literally hundreds of them. I have seen Men who thought everything was fine and who loved their wives suffer PTSD after finding their wives cheated.

Adultery is the breakdown of the family (It also affects all families LGBTQ and traditional.”

“Personality worship and ideological indoctrination. Plenty of charismatic and likable people are great at attracting supporters and building coalitions but make terrible decisions about governance and policy. Plenty of belief systems appear beneficial or positive in theory, but have unpredicted destructive consequences when implemented in the real world. If people were willing to honestly review empirical evidence and alter their approach, and cared less about reinforcing their own beliefs, then government, religion, and commerce could be more effective and beneficial for everyone.”
