Things We Forget

By Gentle Witch

Graduated college with a double major

Former federal government employee

  • Homework

    I would un-invent homework that replaces curiosity with compliance. WE should be investing in students’ curiosity, not their ability to follow directions.

  • Deepfakes

    I would remove deepfake technology before trust erodes further.

  • Desperation

    I would un-invent payday loans that profit from desperation.

  • Gasoline

    I would undo the invention of leaded gasoline because of the harm it causes the planet.

  • Single-use Plastics

    I would un-invent single-use plastics because convenience has a cost.

  • Algorithms

    I would erase social media algorithms that trade nuance for engagement.

  • Nuclear Weapons

    I would un-invent nuclear weapons because of the great loss of life their use results in.

  • Landmines + AK-47s

    I would undo the invention of landmines due to their lasting harm. Also, I would undo the invention of AK-47s.

  • Intention

    I would remove alarm clocks so mornings could begin with intention.

  • Spam Emails

    I would erase spam emails since attention should never be stolen.
