My three magic genie wishes

If I had three wishes from a magic genie, here’s what I’d ask for:

1. Eradicate all politicians worldwide.
2. Remove every trace of religion from the planet.
3. Wipe out every weapon on Earth.

Why? Because these are the forces that keep us locked in conflict.

Don’t believe me? Just glance at today’s headlines. With these influences gone, we’d have a clean slate for a few decades before humanity inevitably comes up with a new breed of politics, religions, and weapons.

But until then, we’d have a golden window of time to tackle the real issues: disease, poverty, unemployment, and social inequality.
