What do you think are the world's biggest problems aside from covid.
What Are the World's Biggest Problems Besides COVID?
- Thread starter nduka-san
- Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses the world's biggest problems aside from Covid, with overpopulation being a major issue that leads to several other significant problems such as starvation, pollution, and under-education. Social media is also identified as a major threat due to its ability to spread conspiracy theories quickly and influence people's beliefs and actions. One participant mentions the controversial act of digging up and eating dead cats as their top concern. The conversation is then closed due to the potential violation of forum rules.

Many other significant world problems stem from the number of humans using limited resources.

CoVid doesn't make my top ten list. In no particular order, and there are probably others I didn't think of:
Starvation/malnutrition
Tyranny/Oppression
Pollution
Drought
CO2 rise
Crime
Under-education
Religious intolerance
Discrimination/Racism
Weapons of Mass Destruction
Many of these could be subsumed under more general descriptions like "overpopulation"

Social media is a big threat. It allows conspiracy nonsense to spread many times faster than real news And infect many more people than before the advent of social media.
which in and of itself isn’t as bad as the people believing and acting on the nonsense like it was true.
