Make a large part of school a process of learning how to teach and interact with childeren properly. Everything else will follow.

Is suicide strictly illegal? How is that even policed or punished, if the offender is dead?

the punishment is the death penalty :D

oddly my cursory research shows that some countries say that it isn't illegal anymore. However, the punishment for successful suicides are often enacted against the person's right of proper burial and/or possessions.

Make people communicate more clearly and improve education to at least make the world's playing field a bit more level.

OR

Make a disease that cause all sufferers to feel intense mental cognitive dissonance when committing harm and create extremely high empathic capabilities.

That seems a fairly cursory punishment, 'depriving' a no longer existent person of a burial :P

True, but I think it more of a punishment on the deceased's family. Denying burial could be a stronger social stigma in more religious cultures.

Herecy! So we, the emotionally distant intellectuals, shall then have our intellects assualted by an overflow of emotions? Rather let the disease instill enhanced cognitive functions. If everyone in this world had an above average intelligence, we would be smoking cigars on Mars within a year.

On the contrary, that's why immature NT's are quite ineffective. They're easily countered by the very emotional vulnerabilities that they try to suppress.

It's part of what I want, enhanced cognitive functions especially the Fx's.

There's other factors that influence innovation aside from intelligence.

You implement a good counter. I think that if the disease can instill intellectual and emotional maturity, a better world would be the result. The wars, psycopathic rulers and ignorance can be things of the past, with humanity prospering onwards, towards whatever we wish to face.

Well for a starter then oxytocin seems to have positive emotional impact on men. When tested in couples (through nasal spray), the men become more caring and show more romantic interest, touching and hugging more etc..

But then again, there are also studies showing that oxytocin makes us conformists, which perhaps arguably is a by product of too much empathy. Is it a coincidence that INTPs are generally known not be conformists, while at the same time not known for their deep emotional empathetic abilities?

It also begs the question, what is a better world?

Well sir, it is a truly subjective concept. For me it may be a anarchic society ruled by clowns, for you a world where we worship mice. In the end, a better world is what you wish it to be.

Agreed.
Same for the family?

Seems I missed this post. Sorry.

Yes but it is impossible to enforce. If children are taught to run a proper household in school then the next generation family will then be able to take some of the burden off the schools. This should continue on until the school only has to work to sustain the properly learned families.

The best world is one that helps people to find meaning in their lives and allow them to live it instead of inhibiting it. Why is it the best thing? It is the best thing because it is all I ever wanted and everyone should be subject to what I want.

Is that paradox? Good! Then I know that it is a sustainable answer.

No problem.
But,
why is it impossible to enforce?

Apply at least five of these ideas:

1. Give children ladders.
2. Force wealth on poor people.
3. Substitute toothpicks for guns.
4. Plant seeds.
5. Replace politicians by INTP's.

More ideas for a better world:

1. Prohibit conception for virgins.
2. Illegalize slave trade.
3. Take ladders away from tall children.
4. Ordain atheists.
5. Make the square root of minus one real.

Focus resources on science/technological advancements and education.

Form a mass platform, for the distribution of information, that uses the scientific method as it's foundation.

Going off of RaBind, make access to the Internet available for all and have the Internet house ALL books, articles, etc...in other words all recorded information.

How would those who write original papers, articles and stories be compensated for their work efforts? Unless they are compensated they will lose their motivation.

My idea isn't practical. I just went with the thread and threw out an admittedly idealistic thought. If pressed on this maybe the way libraries do? Public funds. Research will still be compensated through grants and standard ways currently. Authors, fiction or non-fiction, are maybe sponsored?

Aristotle

Plato

:beatyou::angel::cthulhu::rip:

You see you say that, but I think Aristotle did a hell of a lot more than Plato. As someone once said:

Aristotle v.s. Plato is the conflict between reason and mysticism. It was Plato who formulated most of philosophy’s basic questions—and doubts. It was Aristotle who laid the foundation for most of the answers.

Have you ever told a parent how they should parent?

Yes. Maybe it's a taboo subject, but that does not make it impossible to do.

Yes, on a individual level. We were speaking of re-teaching the whole world of parents.

This exists:

Granted, it's not mandatory, but it could be. ^^

That is a start, but lets change the title. We don't everyone to realize their worth.

There would need to be a test of course. Who would implement this and enforce people to participate?

Even More Ideas 4 a Better World

Even more ideas for a better world:

1. Euthanize chickens before eating them.
2. Chickens hooked on antibiotics must not have babies.
3. Put up road blocks for road crossing chickens.
4. Cross chickens with turkeys.
5. Outlaw scrambled eggs.

Political ideas:

1. Verify if Obamacare cares.
2. Draft Obama to run for vice-president.
3. See spoiler, posted in black & white.
4. Put Obama in the constitution as an amendment.
5. Elect Obama vice-president of North Korea.
3.
Declare Obama white for the 2nd half of his term since he's half white anyway having had his chance to serve as black. Note: 3 is out-of-order.
