If you could un-invent something, what would it be?
Some of you lovely bloggers today have said that univenting algorithms would be a good idea. I concede, they certainly mess with people’s heads.
( It did cross my mind.’ I wonder if the covid kids are aware of how much they are being manipulated? There is a lot of pressure on that generation, coming from all sides – another topic for a post, I guess)
My initial thought when I read our DP was to say guns. What an idiot I am, as if taking away firearms would stop people harming each other?
Humans have harmed each other, physically mentally and emotionally from day one, I imagine.
Chinese Taoist Alchemists accidentally discovered gunpowder whilst seeking an elixir for immortality in the 9th century. By the 10th century, they were stuffing bamboo tubes with it and voila! Shooting each other.
In the late 13 century, metal barred firearms came into being, and by the 14th, true gun development was happening.
And here we are

Perspective isn’t it Joey. This is a brilliant thought.

Thunderdome is better than modern warfare. No drones, no press conferences, no endless debates on cable news. Just step in the cage, deal with the problem, and walk out done. Brutal, efficient, honest. Compared to today’s nonsense, it’s basically conflict resolution with a spine.
I’m going to make a whole Thunderdome post later. Thank you for the inspiration!!

No matter what the motive behind any life enhancing or life saving invention, some dark soul will find a way to use it in an evil way. Except sliced bread…. Don’t un-invent sliced bread, please!
