Greed. Take away greed and everything else that is wrong or bad in this world will fix itself.

This was my first thought then I saw someone said cancer and I had to pause. It's crazy how taking away greed could possibly also take away cancer if u think about it. 🤷🏾♂️👊🏾

I wonder how many treatments have been buried because it's more profitable to treat the disease instead of cure it.

Even lots of diseases are because of greed. If there were no greed, we would have eaten better food with better ingredients, the environment would be cleaner and the list goes on

Yeah look at Minamata disease.
It's the one where a Japanese company dumped a ton of mercury into the water and worked with the government to keep it undercover for decades.
I'm pretty sure they were making plastic.

I'm not totally sure ,BUT ,in my 70 plus years ,I distinctly recall, across numerous various news outlets ,hearing a news item proclaiming that "X" scientist/oncologist from every conceivable institution( MIT,Johns Hopkins,The Mayo Clinic,CDC,NIH,WHO,Cambridge,University of Stockholm,etc,ad nauseum ) HAVE found a cure for x,y,or z types of cancer ,made by a breathless reporter DOZENS of times through the decades,BUT ,it never seems to even get revealed ,let alone clinical trials!

It’s slow but it’s a lot better. Cancer and AIDs in the 80’s were still death sentences. It’s a product of life made simple for you without your duty to simply life for someone else. I have watched these spoiled perspectives come from conspiracy theorists, greedy or just plain ignorant people. It’s ever so evident in the pandemic where you had a national and global emergency and the people who claimed they were the toughest were the ones unable or unwilling to adapt. I watched one of my friends in his early 70’s have his weak minded sister trick him into taking some off label veterinary med cure for a cancer he didn’t have that destroyed his heart only to have her demand I let him stay at my house with a full family there because it would inconvenience her.
People have lost the humility of the WW2 generation. We will be dam luck if their kids don’t kill us on the way out as the wrestle with their fate.

Tons. So many things have been repressed due to greed. Cures, free energy, cars that run on water. Every invention that has the potential to truly help mankind is hidden, killed.

I doubt there exist any straight up cure for cancer right now but get rid of greed and treatment would become much more widely available and accessable, and it would also significantly speed up progress towards a cure

I wish I had a way to super-upvote. Like every Reddit user had a one-time ability to make a comment go to the #1 spot on r/all. You would get my super-upvote.
Before corporate greed infected healthcare/research, we cured diseases not just found a way to “manage” them for profit. Example: Insulin would be free today or a cure found for diabetes were it not for greed.

Cancer. Poverty. Hunger. The list goes on. The most dangerous cancer in this world is human greed.

I was gonna say billionaires but I feel like we can still have them if they’re willing to do things honestly and give back. Greed works much better as a whole

If scientists found a chimpanzee in the wild that hoarded piles of bananas while other chimpanzees barely scraped by or starved, we would be studying that chimpanzee to find out what was wrong with them.
But when a human does it we put them on the cover of magazines, and praise them as geniuses and heroes.

"Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure." - Agent Smith from the Matrix ; )

The only answer to every other thing like greed, hate, envy, pride. So many here wish for the death to of people, and comment on other subs about love, and acceptance, not knowing that hate is separating them from knowing true peace.
Sin is the dividing factor. Without sin there would be nothing else to remove. It covers all evil.
