A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Because the world sucks and there is nothing I can do with it
The world doesn't suck
The world is awesome
There are a few handfuls of expansionist narcissistic oligarchs, dictators and uber rich that ruin the experience for everyone else.
Seriously, we hang a few dozen very specific guys from the gallows and literally the world would be saved the next day. All of the sudden genocides are over, we can focus fully on stopping climate change, we can form a UN that can enforce peace, we can implement wealth caps where nobody gets crazy rich anymore.. Can you imagine?
Seriously... That is the weirdness of the problem. We have a few people with so much power that 8 billion of us have their lives ruined by at most a few hundred
I would change John Lenno's "imagine" to "imagine we hang the parasite class and implemented wealth caps, it isn't hard to do"
Would you go regional for example each country has to pick 10 specific arseholes, or would you pick a number and pick 200 or so despite location?
And do you think there is a ranking system say politician, warmonger, Tech-bro, media owner, CEO and so on?
I think this is an actual use for AI, to analyse these scenarios and figure removing which figure benefits humanity the quickest.
Mh sorry but there are FAR FAR more, like orders of magnitude, people that make it worse for everyone else just so they can have even the slightest advantage (or even just so others have none).
