We all know the human race isn't perfect. We got our good sides and our bad sides. But what if you could erase one aspect (thing, part) of mankind, what would you erase?
I believe if you erase too much, you essentially stop being human or at least that what defines us. But if you just change one thing, we would still remain human, no? But be careful; erasing one bad thing, might make (other) things worse.
Erase fear or pain? No, we need those keep ourselves in check.
Erase hunger? Hmm, but that drives us to eat and in turn survive.
Erase disease? Science will do that for us, eventually, I suppose.
Erase anger? Yes, that would make things better. I would erase anger, I think.
What about you? Which one aspect of mankind would you change?
Lmfao, we still "need" hunger to drive us?
No, I choose hunger. Food could still exist for the sake of taste but it'd drive up the standard of living and just make the world a lot better.
Hmmm...
Interesting, in that now we wont have the need to constantly farm vast tracts of land. (In order to feed all the people in the world with current farming techniques, we would need an amount of land roughly equal to the entire landmass of South America.) Global warming might not be as much of an issue, as there might be less demand for beef, leading to less propagation of cattle who now won't release so much methane. Much human suffering from starvation or wars over food and water may end.
Though, think... food being such an integral part of us so far, if there's no hunger, what then? Perhaps all the people living in developed nations used to fancy and good tasting foods would be willing to continue eating as they wish, preventing the breakup of farms. Profits would still be there.
You have put forward an interesting proposition.
And, to note, a destruction of hunger would mean no more need to eat, not that we stop feeling hungry when we need to eat. Good to clarify.
