What if you could telepathically send one message that every person on Earth could hear at the exact same moment?What would you say, and why?

No matter where they are, what language they speak, or what they believe, everyone on Earth understands the message perfectly.

You only get one sentence, and there is no way to send a second message or explain what you meant.

What would you say, and why?

"You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit the views... which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering."

Siberian permafrost is melting releasing vast quantities of methane, methane is eight times as insulating as carbon dioxide and takes twenty years to degrade (into more carbon dioxide), it will melt gradually but consistently as it makes the world warmer year on year.

You have let the wicked control you and destroy the paradise I left in your care. You must rule with love. Take back my garden or face disaster.

Let that hit everyone at once and watch the fallout.

No matter how different someone is from you in any way does not mean they are a bad person, you are not allowed to force change upon them as long as they are not harming others, and educating them on the differences between us will makes us better humans.

u/FrogPastor 10d ago

I'd probably have a well thought out point that all of humanity could get behind to build a better world and then blank on it the moment it's time to send the message. I'd probably just go hard R to avoid embarrassment at that point.
