Empathy is critical thinking. Putting yourself in the other persons shoes requires thought and effort, at least to develop it. From there it can become more intuitive.
The people who omit critical components to their thinking, like other people, beings, the impact on the region and planet, are not critical thinking. At least not well.
This is so true. I've realised that the root of my success is that I think about things more deeply and/or more often than pther people, and I'm more patient. I started to lose that part of myself and then started to fall behind. Now i'm on the path back, making my life less hectic andntrying not to fry my dopamine receptors
His motivation in the movies was even dumber than the one in the comics. Seriously have you not understood people can breed? Also with the gems you could make more resources like, forever.
Komodo Dragons. Apex predators in general. It would do humanity a ton of good if we were being actively hunted at all times of the day. We're built for that. Keeps us on our toes and down to earth.
Here in Europe we get high quality mixed raw salads rinsed and ready to eat, and while in the beginning I thought "ugh, more plastic packaged food- what for?", now I can't do without them. Five different types of salad in a bag I can just open and pour out with any meal is a godsend, it's not expensive either.
Edit: Oh, except the vinaigratte, that I make myself obv, I don't trust store bought shit with that level of finesse.
I just don't see why this sort of thing qualifies as a need and not a want. Such a treatment, were it to ever actually leave a lab setting and become a consumer product, would almost certainly be so prohibitively expensive that only the ultra-wealthy could get it.
Why should our uber-rich overlords get to extend their lives even a single year while there are people starving to death around the world? There are so many better ways to spend research grant money.
Would you say that there is no need for better research for curing cancer just because new treatments will be super expensive, so only uber-rich zilionairs will benefit?
Probably not. (I hope)
Aging-caused diseases are really just some other type of health problems that leads to death. And curing such things is what medicine is doing. Heart bypass is a great example of helping to survive such problem.
And yes, new tech is usually expensive. And with adoption it became not only cheaper but better. Compare first mobile phones that was super expensive and could do nearly nothing to todays cheap smartphone that is more powerful than the computer that helped us to land on the Moon. If you care about health of poor and middle class people, you could rather help to accelerate the adoption, so more people can afford aging-reversal medicine sooner and not suffer from aging.
I think I see where you're coming from, but I disagree that longevity treatments are equivalent to medical research that seeks to cure diseases.
The way I see it, everything dies eventually, even the stars above. I think it's one thing to seek to ensure that everyone gets to reach their 'natural' end (i.e. old age) by addressing things like cancer or degenerative diseases, and a totally different thing to artificially extend a lifespan past those natural limits.
I don't really have logic there to back it up, it's just a different category in my head. The only time I really see this sort of stuff talked about is by loony wealthy people doing crazy shit like stealing their kid's plasma in the name of living longer, which is probably coloring my perception unfairly of real longevity research.
Yeah, that's understandable! The society teaches us from early age that there is a distinction between "diseases" and "aging". So this distinction continues in our minds and we hardly ever question it. We learn it by imitation without deep understanding. In most cases it works well and serves as a usable and attention-saving shortcut. And it also may be responsible for prolonging old concepts that need a review.
The trauma and dysphoria come almost exclusively from societies attempts to shove us into a box. From being othered, from being told we don't understand our own bodies and minds. Being trans is uncomfortable at times, yes, but so is just being a human being.
Doesn't body dysmorphia exist outside of society though? I don't know if there's been any anthropological study done, but I would assume that it would exist and be traumatizing regardless of the society you were in.
Empathy.
A little less talking and a little more listening.
Please.

We honestly need to be not at the top of the food chain. We'd probably do a little less fighting I'd presume.
In that case, I'd guess only less against other humans
Yes that was what I meant 😅
Critical thought.
That actually solves every other issue in this post.
Except empathy. You can still decide to keep people as slaves when it benefits you and you don't have empathy.

Empathy
Empathy for people you don't personally know
It's not really empathy if one can't apply that sense outside one's own personal relationships- that's just sparkling selfishness.
Cowbell.
But more seriously, empathy and an absolutely gigantic reduction in greed.

Proper distribution of resources
A concept Thanos was too dumb to grasp.
His motivation in the movies was even dumber than the one in the comics. Seriously have you not understood people can breed? Also with the gems you could make more resources like, forever.
Bingo! Although the issue is rarely that there aren't enough resources to go around, it's that some groups hoard them.
Dude literally could've make intimate resources and distribute them eliminating even that problem and still fucked it up
Agree. Also the most politically neutral way to say that 😅
Many great comments. I'd like to add green&walkable cities :3
What the world needs now

More appreciation for how good people have it.
And how bad.
Less consumerism, more mindfulness.
Being able to get paid for something you truly enjoy doing so it doesn't feel like work at all, and actually be able to live on the pay you receive.
And like a lot of others have mentioned, empathy and kindness.
Love, sweet love. It's the only thing that there's just too little of
I did that too! But a different verse
Kindness and solidarity

Komodo Dragons. Apex predators in general. It would do humanity a ton of good if we were being actively hunted at all times of the day. We're built for that. Keeps us on our toes and down to earth.
We are, just by society - i.e something we haven't evolved to survive being hunted by. We're much like dodos.
Integral thinking. Currently only cca 2% of population and desperately needed in even more complex world!
High quality salads. Enough with the bagged American and factory dressings.
Here in Europe we get high quality mixed raw salads rinsed and ready to eat, and while in the beginning I thought "ugh, more plastic packaged food- what for?", now I can't do without them. Five different types of salad in a bag I can just open and pour out with any meal is a godsend, it's not expensive either.

We can already reverse aging in lab and could it bring to humans in wild. But for that we need resources.
I just don't see why this sort of thing qualifies as a need and not a want. Such a treatment, were it to ever actually leave a lab setting and become a consumer product, would almost certainly be so prohibitively expensive that only the ultra-wealthy could get it.

Trans people 🏳️⚧️
As I understand it, being trans even in the most accepting environment is an uncomfortable experience at best. Even traumatizing.
I'd love to see a world where being trans is as normalized and accepted as eye color.
The trauma and dysphoria come almost exclusively from societies attempts to shove us into a box. From being othered, from being told we don't understand our own bodies and minds. Being trans is uncomfortable at times, yes, but so is just being a human being.
Doesn't body dysmorphia exist outside of society though? I don't know if there's been any anthropological study done, but I would assume that it would exist and be traumatizing regardless of the society you were in.
Ideally, being trans wouldn't even be a thing - people would just be who they are without anyone worrying about gender roles.
A new species that humbles humans.
