which fears are irrational though, and how would you determine which are in fact irrational and which are not? For example, I am far less worried about the chinese than I am about USA. I base this relative risk assessment on the quantity of invasions of other countries over time since 1945. Various figures point to around 84 territories. China I think it's a part of india, tibet, and debatably Hong Kong (but was a voluntary handover from UK). So... max three I think. So what is rational to fear?

So many accidents, so many deaths, bc certain right-handed things are more complicated for lefty's to use - I am SOO left-handed! I'm very capable, yet it discombobulates my brain & frustrates me overall when something is harder than need be, bc it's backwards. imagine doing everything in the mirror. Like, seriously 90%-95% of EVERYTHING. We learn to cope, don't get me wrong, I actually like being left-handed overall. I was raised to work hard, I love working with my hands, I drove forklifts and all kinds of machines, etc. At the same time, there's so many things I would feel safer using or being around, if there wasn't such an element of danger. OTFS, there's scholarships for lefty's (I can't think of some other perks offhand), so that's a plus! Lol, I'm a wiz at 10-key 🤭

Flying cars, as well as a way to prevent anxiety and depression, like, a therapist, but it has the knowledge of every case of anxiety, depression, adhd, ocd, etc. and how each person dealt with it, like a robot, so it can give you the most effective help, and a cure to celiac, a cure to cancer, a writers block cure, like a generator where you enter the last paragraph or two you wrote, and it gives you a bunch of things that could happen, or you could give a summary of what you have and it would give you a couple ideas for whats next(for all i know that exists but i dont know so.... if it does please tell me 😭) and thats just the beginning, i also would like more personalized educational since from the very beginning of education that would be so nice, and it would cause more focused on peoples strengths, it would go at each persons pace, instead of all at the same pace, because if someone has a harder time with math, but excels at history, it would be amazing if it was separate, since theyd have a chance to learn math slower, and learn new history stuff before some others, and of course it would still be social in some ways, such as art, and gym, and instrumental, or chorus, however there would be opportunities to do that subject extra, and it would create more jobs for teachers, since each person would need different teachers at the time, each person would have maybe 10-20 students depending on how long the class would be, and the subject, and the students would have more control over their education, like if they dont think that they need to know how to write really well, as much as math, then they may have longer math classes, or if they want to focus on art, and less on history, then they would do that, and i know that isnt inventing in the traditional sense, but it is inventing a new education system(just in case anyone wanted to know why i added that)

I've currently been wrapping my head around how to create a cup that can stir itself and is also safe to wash up and is kid friendly. Obviously just a Vacuum space with some wiring in it to a switch would work semi well but it's all about making sure whatever you are drinking can't fall through the gaps you need to leave to make the parts move. Also I don't want to use blades like a blender because 1: kids will get their hands in it and 2: It's not a blender. So I'm thinking some sort of Dome shape should work and when activated it spins and creates that Whirlpool effect in the cup. Making stuff like Tea, Coffee, my own recipe Hot Chocolate, Milkshakes etc would be so much easier and I wouldn't need to take a spoon out with me to enjoy watching it while I stir it. But anyway I digress, I'm working on that myself

Something I have no idea how to make that I really want is an app for your phone (My phone Snapdragon is my ultimate life assistant) that uses your camera as eyes so when you point it at stuff it tells you all you need to know. So if there is something you can't read while you are on holiday in another country, just point your phone at it and your phone will use the camera to see it and translate it for you. If you see someone have a minor accident like a bump to the head that has a bit of bleeding then you point your phone at it and it tells you what to do. If it's way more serious then it automatically calls emergency services. If you are in the woods or something just for fun then you can point your phone at stuff like plants and it'll tell you what they are and wether you should avoid them or not. If you get lost then it'll give you a map with an arrow saying "go this way". You could use it as GPS that's actually reliable and detects road works and diversions and road collisions so you don't get in a journey and then have to U-turn without some voice saying "You are going the wrong way" or "you missed your turning" which makes me want to physically attack it. If you had an argument then you can input what's happened so far and it'll give you a few suggestions to solve it maturely and help you and whoever you are arguing with to overcome it. I just think it'd be nice and also as a shop worker I see a lot of people do really dumb things and I think it's becoming more of a necessity than a luxury
