You have been selected to lead a team of scientists

Mark Cuban and Elon Musk are getting drunk at a bar. Elon is talking about how his companies actually try to solve humanity's problems when Mark interrupts him and says,

"You think you're so special, huh? You ain't shit. I bet anyone in this bar could solve more of humanity's problems than you could if they had a fraction of your money."

To which Elon replies, "Oh yeah, let's make it a bet then. You pick the dumbest looking fucker in this bar, and we'll each donate half a billion to fund a lab for him. He can hire the leading scientists in the world on any subject. All he has to do is solve one of humanity's problems before the money runs out."

Cuban agrees, they look around the bar and immediately decide that YOU are their candidate.

They lay out a series of rules to prevent you from just blowing the money on hookers and booze, or creating a bogus study like "testing the effects of hookers and booze in space."

If you do dumb shit like that, they can pull your funding. But as long as they feel you're honestly trying to solve a real problem for humanity, they'll honor their 1 billion dollar commitment.

So, Chief Scientist, what problem are you going to try to solve?

I'll solve the problem of men putting the pussy on the pedestal by inventing ultra realistic female sex robots (looks wise, not the nagging part)

I spend 10 million in nearly every US congressional race (house and senate) for any candidate that will support medicare for all, universal pre-K and after school programs, and regulating oligopolys.

10 mil is enough to buy most elections and I should still end up with more than half of the congress even if I lose some. Even if I get just one of those things done I'd be pretty happy.

What if hookers in space solves all of humanity’s problems?

 

[syct23]

Look at me now,

I am the dumbest looking fucker.

 

[Sonny Qc]

I'll make a highly destructive bombs.

Bomb Davos during a WEF meeting

That would be a great start imo

Love the thread idea, hate we have so many crippling problems, can't single out the worst one.

The Problem i would solve : Giving Mankind a reasonable chance to survive an planetary "extinction" event, without having to terraform a planet like Mars or find one, we can travel to, to start a colony on.

The Solution we would seek : developing thru advanced materials and evolving nanonite technologies, materials that can be used and survive the pressures of the deepest ocean depths to build deep sea cities and vessels.

If we build colony 'generational' nuclear power fed cities and craft (subs) to survive the deepest reaches of the ocean, they would be all but immune to any of the prior type 'extinction events' that have happened on the planet surface prior.

You do not have to have anyone living there permanently prior to any incoming 'extinction event' and instead like the Space Station, just have a regularly rotating population that is always there for any surprise contingency need. It should also be based on considerations of what is adequate to restart human colonization of the surface once it again becomes habitable.

You could take down all the supplies you would need, but also tap the ocean deep thermal vents which spew out minerals and heat, as an additional resource.

The city structure should be tethered and not fixed to the ground and capable of movement (albeit slow) to protect it from deep sea earthquake's and fissures that may happen.

I'd need more than a billion, but I'd want to fund a gigantic solar farm in the Sahara that utilizes the energy to create some kind of building material like building blocks out of c02 scrubbed from the air.

The blocks would be given to locals for free and I'd then use another big chunk of money to generate a global advertising campaign and fund massive subsidies for the blocks so new construction projects would enthusiastically buy these blocks from the nations for affordable prices plus all the social cache of contributing towards climate change mitigation and economic development in Africa.

Solve the homeless issue. No scientists needed other than the ones already working for big pharm.

Put all the homeless into mental institutions, hospitals , prison, call it whatever gets the most public support. against their will if need be. Let big pharm pump them with as many different drugs as they want, let them do human trials, some rehabilitate and allowed out, some not . Clean streets and new drugs all nicely tested for the general population .

The money I get would be used for a massive worldwide advertising campaign, as well as to get the hospitals up and running and the subjects into the facilities. Big pharm covers the day to day after that

 

[Beechwood]

Noooo, my worst nightmare.

I already had to lead 3 scientists in a previous work life. What I learned is they bicker with each other all the time, with me in the middle all to often receiving the worst of the abuse.

Sounds like you want a world where N.Korea dominates?

 

[Aegon Spengler]

I would try to tackle wildfires with nuclear desalination of ocean water. Would try to make it as economical as possible. Would combine it with a campaign to reduce pollution in all its forms.

 

[Fedorgasm]

I think I would work on digitally mapping brain functions and thoughts, so that a human's consciousness could be uploaded into a computer.

That way if our planet does become uninhabitable, we'd live on in some kind of robot body.

So essentially instead of escaping earth, make humans able to survive here.

But what if all of our energy sources are gone? How would these robots with our consciouses be powered?

That can be your billion dollar project. I figured out how to upload a person.

 

[Possum Jenkins]

Does nuclear energy need extra funding to figure out how to store its waste?

If so, that's what I'm going for. Fossil fuels need to fuck off.

I'm going to hire all female scientists in the interests of DEI, they all have to have huge tits though.
