If you would like additional framing: you have only 30 seconds to prepare and you can talk for 10-30 minutes.
So, it turns out teleportation is real …

I’ll talk about world wide wealth caps!
I want that nobody can have a net worth of more than, say, 10 million dollars. After that, all income over that goes 100% to taxes until you’re under it.
Imagine the same tax brackets that we now have, bit with much more brackets and the last one is 100%
This simple limit has a huge list of implications. Nobody can be extremely wealthy anymore, governments get so much tax income that they can implement all the socialist rights like free healthcare, free education, universal basic income, etc.
No more poverty
No more wealth inequality, meaning that everybody can live a good life
No more extremely large companies because upu need an incremental amount of shareholders to be able to increase its size…
Corruption? It’s hard to buy someone when henl can’t really give you much power and the buyer won’t be able to offer that much and the risk of getting caught is still the same
You can work harder and earn more, but why would you if your life is good and happy? For those that need to innovate, there is still richdoms to get, but with reasonable limits
This of course needs to be implemented world wide to work well, and the exact limit is for others to function, but I believe this to be possible and extremely positive for humanity.
Needs a lot more work but for the 30 seconds given…
Okay seems like a good idea. whats the disadvantages of this?

Climate change and migration. There really isn’t such a thing as “illegal” migrants to begin with, let alone that most people don’t want to leave their homes but for economic reasons. With climate change destroying the fertility and economic productivity of land, it prompts people to try their luck into more prosperous countries, and they are getting demonised for wanting to have better lives. Most people don’t realise this and are distracted by 1% propaganda to blame helpless migrants.
Critical infrastructure vulnerability.
We wouldn’t need 30 seconds to think about and we would need more like 2+ hours for the talk
Were hyperfixating and info dumping about One Piece, thank you
I’ve been reading Gerald Horne’s The Counter-Revolution of 1776, and honestly just summarizing the main points from that book would blow a lot of peoples’ minds.

How to protect yourself from narcissistic abuse
I’ll start with a joke, “so this guy has been randomly teleported onto a TED talk stage in his underwear…” and then I’d probably talk about how the over prevalence of “easy” in our day to day life has allowed us to become complacent and encourages us to stop fighting the inevitable downfall of life as we see it. All so billionaires can keep existing and we can be doomscrolling without being worried about life outside around the world.
I’d fill the full 30 min.
I can only talk for 30 minutes? Man, this gonna be rough.
Welcome to my Ted talk. Has anyone else noticed it’s always Venus? I bought the Star finder app but every time I scan a star it’s just Venus.
Why is every cool star Venus?
