Making the list, ranking it correctly, and solving the problems sounds like a good goal doesn't it. Not that it will be easy in fact i imagine it will be the hardest thing ever attempted, and it will surely never be finished. But I happen to think it is a canidate for the most high minded, idealistic, noble and magnifiscent thing ever possible to attempt, I think it could be perhaps the worthiest occupation possible for the good people of humanity. Could it be a distributed computer program with input from as many people as possible with the eventual goal of every single person in the world having the chance to speak there opinion about the worlds problems if the wished and also kept private if they wished and ranking them all democratically and then using the same system to figure out how to solve those problems as peacefully, effectivly, ethically, and cheaply as possible with the largest attempted first could this be the answer to the problems we all face, big and small?
