Who would you make disappear?

[Irieguy]

So, The Genie comes out of his bottle and is in a good mood. Not in so good a mood that he grants you wishes or anything, but he does decide to grant you a super power.

You can make somebody disappear. Not disappear like David Copperfield would make somebody disappear... you can make it so they never existed.

There would be no pain, no sorrow, no mourning, and nobody missing anybody. They would have simply failed to exist and the world would suddenly appear as it would be if that were so. Nobody would know any differently, and you would instantly forget that you ever made the decision. (The Genie is benevolent and wants to save you the anguish of knowing better if you totally f... this thing up.)

So, who would you make disappear and why?

Doesn't open up a whole Back to the Future thing.

If you take say Hitler and erase him from history, the entire world as we know would be totally different.

Everything he instiganted or influence would have turned out different.

On the other hand if you erased someone one insignificant, it wouldn't change much

Even if hitler ceased to exist something similiar to the holocaust probably would of happened, he wasnt the only person against jews.

I thought about that and decided against it. Suppose you made Hitler disappear and somebody just as evil yet more intelligent than Hitler came to power with the rise of the NAZIs? Germany had the potential to win that war. One of the reasons they did not is Adolf Hitler.

Michael Moore would be a better choice.

you ahve to pick someone that wouldn't make you cease to exist.. which, eliminates hitler for a lot of people.. he influenced how things came about greatly, and if you take him out, theres a good chance you're no longer you.

So to be absolutely sure you exist, you ahve to pick someone younger than you.. and probably someone not in yoru state, so that it woudl be hard for their lack of existancee to somehow acuse you to die.

Lets assume picking Hitler would have facted stopped the Holocaust, and turned WWII into a minor European event (not true, but just play along).

Would you still pick Hitler, knowing that...

The U.S. never goes to WW2, no Baby Boom, etc, etc.

So...
There is a good chance that
-You ae never born
-Your Friends, GF-Wife, Allen Iverson, etc are never born
-The U.S. is far from an economic-military super power, and your standard of living could be much less


Basically, you can stop one of the greatest tragedies in history, at the risk of ending or ruining your life

I think history plays out as it should. Humanity has and will continue to advance at it's own pace, with all its little hiccups. The ripples you'd create by removing any one person may be devestating in the moment, but over the long run it won't be more than a blip, unless someone eventually leads to the end of the human race, but even that would be history moving along as it should. Que sera, sera.

Therefore, I'll just be selfish and erase all the people I don't like, starting with my ex-roomate.
