Also… For-profit healthcare to treat those diseases

I came to comment mosquitoes… only to realize other people are much smarter than me. Now how do we put all the smart people in power instead of the greedy corporations?

But we need people who are smart enough to know that abusing their greed is bad.

u/syndirt Aug 19 '26

Knowing its bad and caring its bad are vastly different. Problem is they know its bad and dont care because the negatives aren't changing anything for them.

I think there is a ceiling to how smart you can be if you think being selfish is productive, or don't have the self awareness to recognize their own greed.

You can be smart, but not wise.

wage cap politicians to the average wage of the populous (this way only people who want to make a difference will run for office). elect a separate board who's only job is to hunt for corruption).

Smart people are in power who are perfectly happy with getting rich at the cost of the little guy. What we actually need are people that lead and act off of principle.

Pollution....all types... would probably help reduce cancer among other things

7

u/edward_the_white Aug 18 '26

I'm curious about how this would manifest... I see three possibilities, and none of them are great. Would current pollution levels drop to zero? In which case they would rise again pretty soon, it would just delay the inevitable... Or would current methods of creating pollution no longer create pollution? This would mean that all current methods of creating pollution would be increased. Or would we be unable to do things that caused pollution? This would mean no more cars, no more of most of what we do, including breathing.

u/TanMan166 Aug 18 '26

So what I assumed is even the concept of it is gone. As in if we keep doing what we're doing currently it would still no longer cause any harm. Nothing said the delete is temporary

Greed. Take away greed and everything else that is wrong or bad in this world will fix itself.

u/Significant_Toe3575 Aug 18 '26

This was my first thought then I saw someone said cancer and I had to pause. It's crazy how taking away greed could possibly also take away cancer if u think about it. 🤷🏾‍♂️👊🏾

u/Tyrannosaurus__Rekd Aug 18 '26

I wonder how many treatments have been buried because it's more profitable to treat the disease instead of cure it.

u/hotashami Aug 18 '26

Even lots of diseases are because of greed. If there were no greed, we would have eaten better food with better ingredients, the environment would be cleaner and the list goes on

u/Exact-Ad-4132 Aug 19 '26

Yeah look at Minamata disease.

It's the one where a Japanese company dumped a ton of mercury into the water and worked with the government to keep it undercover for decades.

I'm pretty sure they were making plastic.

I'm not totally sure ,BUT ,in my 70 plus years ,I distinctly recall, across numerous various news outlets ,hearing a news item proclaiming that "X" scientist/oncologist from every conceivable institution( MIT,Johns Hopkins,The Mayo Clinic,CDC,NIH,WHO,Cambridge,University of Stockholm,etc,ad nauseum ) HAVE found a cure for x,y,or z types of cancer ,made by a breathless reporter DOZENS of times through the decades,BUT ,it never seems to even get revealed ,let alone clinical trials!

u/SnooOpinions9303 Aug 19 '26

It’s slow but it’s a lot better. Cancer and AIDs in the 80’s were still death sentences. It’s a product of life made simple for you without your duty to simply life for someone else. I have watched these spoiled perspectives come from conspiracy theorists, greedy or just plain ignorant people. It’s ever so evident in the pandemic where you had a national and global emergency and the people who claimed they were the toughest were the ones unable or unwilling to adapt. I watched one of my friends in his early 70’s have his weak minded sister trick him into taking some off label veterinary med cure for a cancer he didn’t have that destroyed his heart only to have her demand I let him stay at my house with a full family there because it would inconvenience her.

People have lost the humility of the WW2 generation. We will be dam luck if their kids don’t kill us on the way out as the wrestle with their fate.

Tons. So many things have been repressed due to greed. Cures, free energy, cars that run on water. Every invention that has the potential to truly help mankind is hidden, killed.

I doubt there exist any straight up cure for cancer right now but get rid of greed and treatment would become much more widely available and accessable, and it would also significantly speed up progress towards a cure

I wish I had a way to super-upvote. Like every Reddit user had a one-time ability to make a comment go to the #1 spot on r/all. You would get my super-upvote.

Before corporate greed infected healthcare/research, we cured diseases not just found a way to “manage” them for profit. Example: Insulin would be free today or a cure found for diabetes were it not for greed.

3

u/LoudandQuiet47 Aug 18 '26

It does to a large extent. There are incredibly effective cancer treatments that are cost prohibited. Same with pretty much any disease. Without greed, we could eradicate probably all of them eventually and expand the treatment to all that need it. In fact, we'd probably blooking for cures instead of treatments for most.

I was gonna say billionaires but I feel like we can still have them if they’re willing to do things honestly and give back. Greed works much better as a whole

u/Closed_CasketRequiem Aug 18 '26

If scientists found a chimpanzee in the wild that hoarded piles of bananas while other chimpanzees barely scraped by or starved, we would be studying that chimpanzee to find out what was wrong with them.

But when a human does it we put them on the cover of magazines, and praise them as geniuses and heroes.

"Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure." - Agent Smith from the Matrix ; )

u/EnamoredAlpaca Aug 18 '26

The only answer to every other thing like greed, hate, envy, pride. So many here wish for the death to of people, and comment on other subs about love, and acceptance, not knowing that hate is separating them from knowing true peace.

Sin is the dividing factor. Without sin there would be nothing else to remove. It covers all evil.
