We are in a climate emergency that must be drastically dealt with immediately.
I might even go so far as plant a few policies in their heads. “We are in a climate emergency, and we should address it immediately with policies such as carbon tax-and-dividend, ending subsidies for harmful industries such as fossil fuels and industrial agriculture, investing in both established and promising renewable energy sources such as solar and wind and tidal and geothermal, reducing our dependence on cars with more electrified public transport and denser urban design, and encouraging better urban land use patterns with land value taxes.” One sentence = one thought, right?
Knowing humans, if we didn’t use this magical power to guide them to good solutions, a good number of us would conclude, “That’s it, we need to nuke China and India to save the Earth!”
I’m not sure that just putting the message in their heads would make them actually do it. I feel like the (American) right wing party would just start campaigning with “The commie liberals are using Jewish space lasers to plant their eco hoax in our brains! We must vote the out before they use it to turn your children trans!!!”
I’d go with “Hey, it’s God. I actually AM real, but I’m heading out. You guys are on your own from now on, no more afterlife or anything. So be good to each other! Alright, I’m out. (oh, and just some advice? you might want to get ahead of this climate change thing)”
Sounds like a recipe to stir up religious backlash on insert group here for driving god away
Yeah, I was hoping the wording of my message would make people give up religious malarkey, but you’re probably right. Even being told “don’t use religion to be a jerk” wouldn’t stop people from doing it.
“MothBookkeeper is the dictator of the world, and I completely trust his decisions.”
Nevermind the logistics of that; power lives where people believe it does.
Then I could make multiple beneficial changes, such as:
- Heavily taxing the rich
- Enacting drastic climate policy
- Banning paper stickers that rip as you try to take them off
- Sending Mitch McConnell on a rocket into the sun
Considering our names start similar and that you going to do something about stickers that rip off, I give you my support
“You lost the game”
Don’t be a dick
