Splatmaster posted:What would you give it? It has to be benevolent, so "killing all the ___________" is out. So is cucking, sodomizing, anything against a protected class in society such as a hipster, and of course caramel macchiatos. It has to benefit all of humanity (preferably in a hugely profound way), and lastly it includes yourself as a recipient of the above-mentioned benevolence. The telepathy idea is alright, but I'm sure we'd also find some way to use it to torment each other, even if it means making some people suffer and forcing them to beam their suffering out to other people. If it were an empathy type of ability instead where we could only gain understanding willingly of someone else's thoughts, people would just refuse to 'listen' that way to anyone they don't want to like. A limitless, indestructible source of food or energy would also fail, because even if we couldn't blow it up we would still fight over it and probably never get off this rock anyway. Another idea is instant, limited teleportation. We can't let it be unlimited because people would just use it for crime. As it is if all you need is a marker of some sort at the destination, people would just hide marker in poo poo, sneak them into houses and then use them to rob people blind. You'd have to have some sort of anti-marker that can lock a place down. Also, this would put a large portion of the planet's labor force out of a job, so it wouldn't be all happy. Worse yet if a transponder for the destination is needed we still won't get off this loving rock any time soon. We'd have to at least be able to teleport a probe out to an arbitrary point without a marker, collect data and somehow be able to teleport the sucker back home, piecing together the universe that way until we find a place we can actually explore. Of course once we get a foothold somewhere our ability to explore further increases.

I would make sure everyone was circumcised so there were no more filthy dicked smegma monsters running around.
