“I should speak less and listen more”
That’s been my new years resolution for 10 years. Never make it.
Could be because talking is a symptom of something else. Maybe what you should be doing is care more.

Same, and it is a complex subject, but the most caring, chattiest person I know will absolutely recognize when someone need to talk and turn into the best listener I have ever met. In that sense, chatinness is not an issue, and neither is a lack of listening to people. OP mentioned trouble listening.

I’ve reached a point in my life where I sometimes go days without saying anything out loud. If I spoke any less I would turn into a black hole of words, absorbing conversations around me
I have seem similar thread on Reddit, this answer I liked the most.
Hello can you hear me? Oh wait, wrong planet, sorryIs the gist of it.
Hello can you hear me? Oh wait, wrong planet, sorry
That actually might have a real effect … like everyone is gonna start fearing a “unknown entity” that they all heard … and that might help people bond together and overcome their differences. - Only issue … the next generation who hasent heard it would declare the old people senile/insane and before any major development could happen … it would pass into history without much change.
You can make a religion out of this
Curiously, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell, was: ‘
Oh no, not again.’ Many have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that, we should know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.~ from a Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams
I’ve read the chapter where it’s explained yesterday, now that I’m also reminded of the context it makes much more sense.
You can bet stocks like SpaceX will sky rocket in price, since people know there are aliens on other planet now, not just conspiracy or theory.
Military and space exploration will definitely get a buget boost.
Show animals the same empathy as you do with humans.
So… continue to torture, murder and slaughter them by the millions when ever we feel like it?
No, the opposite of that. Blows my mind the effort people put in to help people that dont deserve or dont want to be helped.
But when it comes to animals that dont apply anymore.
You can eat good food without hurting anyone.
Both are true. Humans show great compassion and exceptional cruelty to each other.
The sudden feeling that they urgently have to poop.
Mission successful.
“Everything is made up and the points don’t matter”
Maybe I’m not an amazing perfect person. Maybe I should try some introspection and look critically at my own thoughts and actions.
There are only a couple thousand billionaires. Their locations are listed here. Today is a World holiday. The official end of colonialism. Redistribution day. The purge.
I don’t want to kill billionaires. I just want them to pay for their fair share based on their exploitation of the broken system we’re forced to live in.
I’m not inciting any particular outcome. Send them all to be little emperors of Corsica or to a reunion on Reunion. Billionaires are all criminal parasites. That kind of money is not possible when treating people rights and working honestly. Everything that is wrong with the world right now stems from this corruption of a few people that have been left completely unchecked. They bribe and fund more and more corruption in a spiraling feedback loop that will never stop. Their social position must be eliminated. Whatever that means for the human under the surface is what it is. 2k people are irrelevant to the lives of 8 billion humans.
Their fair share would be everything. All they have.
Killing them is not out of spite. It’s because we know they will never give up all they stole.
“There is nothing more important than stopping climate change.”
Fairly sure thats the most important signle idea we all need right now. Second would be making sure to do it without trying to kill others.
Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes.
I want to go with something actually world-improving like everyone else is saying.
But let’s be honest, Nestle or the Koch brothers would find some way to monetize that shit, no matter what I do, and turn it into something abhorrend. Plus if it’s just a single thought, it’s not going to have any major lasting effects anyways.
So let’s go with: Ting Tang Walla Walla Bing Bang
Since we assume the thought is not-persistent, imagine how awesome it’d look to be in a large space and everyone, all at the same time, starts singing that to themselves.Ting Tang Walla Walla Bing Bang

If it is that I’m planting an idea in people’s heads, then it’s that I’m their king. World peace is only minutes away! Climate change addressed immediately! Corporations stripped of their power in the face of new labor laws!
If I’m just communicating, then it would have to be something absurd, like “bite my shiny, metal ass.”
Just because you’re their king now doesn’t mean there wouldn’t almost certainly be a revolution. And even if their wasn’t, you would most likely find managing 8 billion people quite stressful, and you might become consumed by power.
