Probably stop the threat of ISIS

I actually think worldwide equality would be an awful thing. Although poverty sucks i don't think everyone should be equal

If everyone was equally as rich, the world wouldn't function. You can not "eliminate" poverty.

The former, obviously. Climate change and the IS are far greater problems than inequality and poverty.
Eliminate ISIS and Climate Change.

If it was permanent, getting rid of inequality and poverty, since that would probably solve the threat of ISIS and Climate Change.
Id alter the brain chemicals of everyone so they all felt optimistic and want to help others :smile: then after a while I'd slowly decrease the dosage until it returned to normal and see what happened... xD
