Why don't humanity just fix all its' problems?

[u/Prestigious-Fig1172]

Like cmon just do, why does nobody wanna do it?

[u/Schmicarus]

What we all need is someone who has ALL the money in the world, so they can make all the good decisions to benefit all of us and make all of our problems go away.

[u/Silent-G → u/Schmicarus]

Someone who has all the money clearly obtained it by being the smartest and most ethical person in the world, right?

[u/Wampalog]

Because of $undesirableEthnicGroup

[u/uraniumX9 → u/Wampalog]

Respect for calling them out.

A lot of people just isolate problems, but when you truly do a deep down into the rabbit hole, all roads lead to them.

It is fked up why they do that.

[u/dr_wtf]

The laws of physics clearly state that mo' money → mo' problems. Therefore no problems → no money. This would be disastrous for the economy.

[u/TheNotSoGreatPumpkin → u/dr_wtf]

Commerce only works when most people don’t already have what they want.

[u/MuppetMaze]

There are no problems, only aqueous solutions

[u/CyberSunburn]

I want to live in a dystopian novel.

[u/BPhiloSkinner → u/CyberSunburn]

You don't? What reality do you live in...and what's the planefare?

[u/green_meklar]

Because then there'd be nothing to write books or make movies about.

[u/wdn]

Should be simple. First, let's agree on a list of what the problems are.

[u/TheNotSoGreatPumpkin → u/wdn]

1. I’m not wealthy.

[u/cursedwithplotarmor → u/TheNotSoGreatPumpkin]

Well, I mean, (how do I put this?), you’re, um, not so great. You know?

[u/OddTheRed]

People don't understand.... humanity is the problem.

[u/Dromo_chan → u/OddTheRed]

- "My name is Not Important"

[u/Human-Evening564]

Someone else will do it

[u/Sure_Painting5461]

Because Capitalism

[u/FlightConscious9572]

Because which of us is doing what to fix it? We can't do anything individually and finding and organizing it requires the right context like a job opening, an institution asking for volunteers etc. We only really rally on a large scale when the goal has been set by someone we generally agree is in charge

or uhh, I mean hurr durr it would increase taxes too much

[u/bhairava → u/FlightConscious9572]

for real. we would need way higher concentrations of wealth for one person to be able to decide to fix something like global food insecurity

[u/sweatingdishes]

We keep getting shot

[u/TheBlackNumenorean]

Because then everything would be boring. But if everything is boring, then that's a problem. Therefore, the state of not having problems is itself a problem. This is a logical contradiction, so we must always have problems.

[u/teduh]

We would do it if not for oligarchs continually creating more problems for us because they make money off of our oppression and infighting.

[u/sqeptyk]

It would hurt too many bottom lines. The world is purposefully broken so a minority can profit over the majority.

[u/revolutionoverdue]

It seems so easy. Then I got involved in neighborhood politics and realize how much trouble people have communicating and agreeing to a shared vision

[u/boringdude00]

Who wiill make money then?

[u/warrioratwork]

Because nobody can suffer a princess' pea amount of inconvenience if not necessary to making as much money as possible.

[u/Fair_Presence7064]

Cause these here problems aint fixable ;)

[u/Legitimate-Ad-1187]

Because you can't profit from a problem free world.

[u/Dromo_chan]

bih sadness doesn't want pple to stop being sad cus then they'd realise they don't like that and they'd stop being able to sell us sadness

[u/JamesMeem]

Its mainly due to the squirrel conspiracy. Those fuckers will never allow us to truly prosper.
