What tech would you un-invent?
Although the moon is smaller than the earth, it is farther away.

What has to transpire in a persons mind so that he thinks Social Media is worse than Nuclear Weapons?
Hmm, in the event of an alien invasion, what do you think we'd be better off lobbing at the BEMs, nukes or fucking Facebook accounts?
Well, that's how my mind works....

Indeed! Fiat currency not backed by a tangible good was responsible for more wars in the history of humankind than any other tech.
Hear hear, my friend! There was never a single war [wikipedia.org] in Europe before the invention of paper currency. The Romans, in particular, were an eminently peaceful people!
Nowadays, governments just keep printing money to finance their never ending list of wars
The Roman emperors would never have done such a thing. (Except when it was convenient.)

I hereby give you slashdot's Strawman of the Week award for your terrible post! It takes a special kind of courage to knock down a patently ridiculous argument that the other guy never even made, and boy, you've got it! Congratulations!

Apple. Anything and everything from the iMac up. If it meant going back in a time machine and putting a bullet in Stevie J back in 1995, well then so be it. Not many people are willing to admit it yet, but I think history is going to show his influence from this time till his death was one of the worst plagues of mindless sheeple consumerism to ever be set upon the world. Thankfully it ended when it did, and the inevitable fall of Apple has already begun. Good.

There are very few forms of technology that can't be removed without causing other significant detriment to the technology ecosystem.
However, the Segway could go away without making too much of a dent.

Nuclear bombs save a lot of lives by preventing wars.
Well, they're not doing a very good job of it, what with the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf Wars, the Iraq War etc. Maybe we should build more nuclear bombs so we can prevent wars altogether.
And even if they didn't, the amount of people killed by nuclear bombs is very little compared e.g. to people killed by passive smoking.
I beg your pardon, are you saying nuclear bombs prevent death by passive smoking? How does that work, actually?
