My request... Solve this One; and thus solve them all:
Problem One: Avarice and Apathy among Humans on Earth

Perfectly describes the action of the Second law of Thermodynamics: the natural entropy of a system increases resulting in decay, eventual decline and destruction of that system.

Yes; and so the enigma remains: if a sentient species such as ours is unable to overcome or mitigate this "Law" - at least enough to ensure their own survival, then... we are indeed doomed.

...but you may have noticed my included qualifier, "...Humans -on Earth".

Might it be that Homo Sapiens Sapiens manages to get off the Earth, perhaps colonize and evolve in isolated disparate enclaves, some to acquire new resources and learn new technologies, and then return to...?

Or not.



p.s. Thanks for the thought experiment; and the great first-hand account of your experiences...

The request stands as proposed:
Problem 1: Avarice and Apathy among Humans on Earth

If they visited and said they would show us how to solve one problem but that's it what do you think we would choose?

I think the decision would have to be made on what would benefit mankind long term and the toughest problem to solve.

Climate change!
