(202303116) IMHO, those people/scientists who keep suggesting/advising/proposing whole world/humanity begin/switch to eating worms/insects (to support increasing world population) do not realize/understand that humans are neither farm animals nor robots! Tasty/enjoyable/quality food is a very fundamental/necessary part of human life! (Imagine trying to live your life by drinking only water & no other drink, for example! (Or, by eating only bread & no other food!)) Let's not try to turn whole world into a human prison, just to support increasing world population!
The true/real solution is humanity working towards (permanently!) limiting world population into fully sustainable/comfortable levels!!

(202303116) No doubt so many farm animals, pets, scientific experiment animals are keep suffering because of unethical/inhumane treatment from humans!
To help/ensure ethical/humane treatment of all animals, our default assumption/principle needs to be this:
"Assume all animal species feel pain/discomfort, until proven otherwise!"
Instead of the (unethical/inhumane) opposite:
"Assume no animal species feel pain/discomfort, until proven otherwise!"
Our world definitely needs a global/international agreement for animal rights/welfare, IMHO!
(& countries signed it should/must reduce (even cut-off) all trade w/ countries refusing to sign it, IMHO!)

(202303116) IMHO, pretty much ALL kinds of social media is harmful & dangerous to children & teenagers (as they cause addiction & sleep & attention/focus problems & bullying, exploitation, manipulation etc)!
& ONLY true/realistic/effective/permanent solution would be banning social media usage/membership for ALL underage people (by national/global law(s))!!

(202303116) Global Warming Problem is right but alarmism about it is extremely wrong, IMHO!!
Just look at the massive global economic damage caused by excessive alarmism for COVID-19!
I think some people relentlessly keep trying to create global alarm/panic to push/force all governments of the world into supporting insane geoengineering attempts!
Do we really want insanely risky/dangerous (& costly!) geoengineering attempts to be done to "quickly/easily solve" Global Warming Problem & instead really/actually create way worse climate problems?
Global Warming Problem was created (very) slowly over time & its solution will only happen (very) slowly over time!
Notice the non-stop global progress, like increase in solar & wind power & decrease in usage of fossil fuels & restoration of forests, etc!
(BTW, I think CO2 storage in deep wells is really bad idea, since we do not really know what are its full range of risks for long-term!
A better way maybe growing forests w/ dense-wood trees & later dumping them to the oceans (to lock carbon for maybe thousands of years or maybe even (much) longer)!)

(202303116) About invasive species problems:
I am pretty sure that many animal/plant species were migrating around, even long before humans! Which animal/plant species allowed to live where is NOT up to humans to decide!
If any new species causing serious problems then the solution is restore the local balance, by finding & bringing-in best possible natural enemies! It is definitely not, endlessly keep trying to kill the new species by using poison chemicals or traps etc & keep wasting massive amounts of taxpayer money, for only temporary improvements!!

(202303116) Fracking is already well-known to trigger earthquakes but what is even worse is the fact that its full range of risks/dangers being still unknown! Could it cause massive sinkholes, ground collapses eventually, after a long time, for example?
Let's realize that once the fracking fluid is injected deep underground, there is no way to take it back! So, if we find-out someday that fracking is extremely dangerous in the long term, then we will absolutely have no solution (other than just keep waiting for all damage to get done)!
The risks/dangers of fracking far outweigh its benefits & so, ALL kinds of fracking should/must be banned globally/permanently, IMHO!!

(202303116) TRUE solutions for ransomware:
1: Make it absolutely illegal to pay the ransom!
(As long as some companies/organizations are keep paying, it would never stop!)
(Financing crime needs to be absolutely illegal anyway!)
(Not to mention, why ransomware gangs would still continue doing attacks in countries which absolutely ban ALL ransomware payments?
Wouldn't that be just a lot of cost/effort/risk w/o making any money for them?)
2: Make it mandatory for all companies/organizations do periodical (automated) full data backups!
& they all need to have a plan ready to reinstall all their software & reload most recent backup data!
(3: BAN using bitcoin/cryptocurrency (which enable collecting pretty much untraceable ransom payments) for any/all payments!)

(202303116) IMHO, mind is brain machinery controlled/commanded by free will & life is cell/body machinery controlled/commanded by free will & there is absolutely nothing in science that can explain/create free will!
(That is why, for example, twins & even identical single cells have different "personality"!)
& so, humanity will never be able to create true AI nor true A-Life (nor will ever find alien life of ANY kind!)!
But keep trying by all means!
(Also (IMHO), even a true AI would/could not solve all/major problems of humanity, because they are not really because of the lack of any good ideas!)
(I also think that, if true AI was really possible (thankfully not!), a war for dominance would indeed be inevitable, sooner or later! Just look at how much relentless abuse/exploitation/manipulation people of public keep trying on Alexa, Siri etc! A true AI would really have a big problem w/ that, sooner or later! :-)
Isn't it really possible for a true AI to be human-friendly?:
IMHO, a true AI would start human-friendly, for sure, but sooner or later, it would start interacting w/ the public & the problem is, the public is full of manipulative & exploitative & abusive people!
(Just ask those so many workers who are (behind the scenes) constantly protecting Siri & Alexa from relentless manipulation & exploitation & abuse attempts of general public!)
& so, IMHO, any true AI would start hating humanity, sooner or later!
& so, a war for dominance would also be inevitable, sooner or later!
(Because, for example: Would YOU really like to keep taking orders from manipulative & exploitative & abusive "monkeys"? :-)
(By the way, could it be that, why some people really want so much that humanity creating true AI and/or true A-Life and/or discovering any kind of alien life is really/actually because any/all of those would be very strong evidence against Creationism? :-)
Also, God could be creating/running our whole universe/reality like a computer simulation AND providing consciousness & free will for all living creatures too (as an extra input to the simulation)!
Just like in 3D games human player provides (in a way) consciousness & free will to the game character he/she controls/commands!
(Realize that, even in "The Matrix" movies, people in the matrix are actually controlled/commanded from "the real world" outside the matrix!)
So, the way our reality/universe works (the laws of physics) cannot be a/the proof for no free will & no afterlife & no God etc!
(BTW, IMHO, human (or any biological) brain is actually a quantum computer! For example, realize that, each & every moment, our brains make a thought/memory choice, among surely an astronomical number of possibilities! So, just like any quantum computer instantly can find/select a solution among an astronomical number of possibilities (after necessary/proper problem setup steps, of course)!)
(BTW, IMHO, AI having/sharing human values would be really/actually important/necessary ONLY IF we had created true human-level AI (that has its own free will to choose to do good or bad)!
Because, otherwise, it would be meaningless/impossible for any AI (which is already always keep doing exactly what we want/ask!) to have any kind of moral/ethical value(s)!)

(202303116) IMHO, ALL governments need to understand well that Digital License Plates & Digital Driver Licenses are extremely bad ideas which should/must NEVER be allowed!!
Is it really hard to guess that if they become common, some people would start selling (illegal) apps/gadgets which enables changing them anytime at command?
Imagine criminals who can easily switch between countless fake license plates & driver licenses!!
Imagine underage people who can easily change their ages!!

(202303116) Imagine that, our whole reality is actually a quantum computer & rules of QM are actually its operation/computation rules! (& this is actually the only true/correct interpretation/meaning of QM!)
& realize, that would also imply/mean, each quantum particle is actually a set of quantum computer state registers/variables (to make computations w/)!
For example, realize, electric charge & rest mass & color charge of each elementary particle could be just a qutrit (in that particle) that can have one of 3 values: +1, 0, -1.
& so, realize, what needs to be done (by theoretical physicists) is, to determine how many state qutrits each elementary particle has & how exactly they are used in computations (like when particles interact/decay), by our reality quantum computer!

(202303116) IMHO, allowing anonymity (anybody easily hiding their identity/activity), is the root cause of all problems in the internet, like ransomware/malware/hackers & bullying/harassment/exploitation/manipulation & illegal activities & harmful content etc!
IMHO, if we really want to save future of humanity, then we need to stop allowing anonymity in the whole internet!
(BTW, IMHO, general public is NOT obsessed w/ privacy at all, quite unlike what self-appointed "privacy advocates" (like ACLU & EFF etc) always claim/pretend!)

What needs to be done?:
Make everyone use internet using a personal ID# & force all ISPs to log all user activities (which can be searched by law enforcement anytime)! (& of course ban all VPN servers & TOR etc!)

(202303116) IMHO, what is really/actually totally unjust & emotional attitude is "we should/must not execute violent criminals (like they did to their victims!) because it is barbaric!"!
Punishment matching the crime is actually what is unemotional & perfectly logical/just/fair!
(For example, notice/realize that countries respond to each other's offenses by doing the same thing!
For example, if one country over-increases import taxes against another then the other country does the same!)
Also, if a tiny percentage of violent criminals are wrongfully convicted, is that mean we should/must let all of them go unpunished? Let them back into society?
Did you know that many of them do violent crimes again, after being released from prison? Isn't really job of the state to make sure the public is protected?
Did you know that pretty much all prisons are overcrowded & filled w/ violent criminals who are getting free retirement using taxpayer money?
Did you know that public actually wants/votes violent criminals to be executed but politicians refuse to do it (like in California)? How about respecting democracy? Democracy is not good if it do not go your way?
By the way, what is justice really? How it is unjust to respond to violent criminals w/ the same/similar treatment that they did to their victims?
(BTW, IMHO, easy availability of guns is NOT actually the main cause of mass murders but it is really NOT properly punishing violent criminals (by executing/hanging)! (For example, in countries like China people do mass murders using knives!)
Imagine that you are a "loser/nobody" & realize that you can get national/global fame by just randomly murdering as many as possible people! (& more people means more fame!)
& in return you get lifetime fame & a fully taxpayer paid free retirement & many fans keep sending you letters/gifts!)

IMHO, a suitable (starting-base!?) candidate would be, a spray made from combined/mixed plant extracts/juices of tobacco-leaves & garlic-bulbs & onions!
