a robot-only captcha.

or a party in a box.

or huge nixie tubes based on el-wire.

Honestly all of these are incredibly interesting. Have you thought much about the implementation for each? The shoe installer is something I see being fairly tricky. Which one of these would you want to see first?

Ethics in political decisions. A Pill for the ultra greedy rich people. When they take it, then their greedyness, will get cured. Same for empathie to other humans, animals, nature itself. The rest of world problems, should be fixed then with these 3 solutions :)
