- Glorifying/accepting of ignorance. We live in a time with the greatest collection of human intelligence at our fingertips, and yet people still seem to be content with a lack of fundamental concepts relevant to 2 centuries ago. It's sad.

- Polio. We're so close. We have fewer than 100 cases a year now, but the final eradication is difficult.

- Child and animal abuse. I know it's impossible because people are assholes, but I can hope damnit

- Scientology. Also really interesting to see what really went on in Gold Base and what happened to Shelly Miscavige and such.

- Honestly, acne.
Sure, it's not cancer or heart disease, but it's a moderate annoyance that affects nearly everyone. Despite all the research, there aren't any certain "cures" for it. I know people who have cut out random foods from their diet only to improve their skin marginally. If you ask 10 people, you'll get 10 different product recommendations or at-home recipes. Many acne sufferers deal with it for decades, from adolescence into mid-adulthood. My skin is clear now, but it requires diligent care, and I feel guilty if I go bed without thoroughly cleansing, moisturizing, etc.
I could save so much time, money, and mental space if these pesky little bumps didn't exist. They serve no purpose and in all of human existence, I doubt pimples have ever been considered "attractive."

- The partition that is so divisive in my country. I truly believe that before I die I will see a united Ireland.
