If you could magically stop all human-on-human violence, or stop senescence (aging) for all humans, which would it be?
I'm much more likely to die of aging than of violence; so I'd rather stop aging.
This seems to generalize well to the rest of humanity. I am surprised that most others who replied disagrees. ISTM that most existential risks are not due to deliberate violence, but rather unintended consequences.
