What would the world lose if you had never been born?

- Multiple online communities would not exist.
- Possibly one person on this website who I managed to talk out of a situation where she would probably get murdered (If you are still around anon after all these years i'd love to know how it ended.)
- One lawsuit would have possibly played out differently with a big risk to freedom on the internet.
- All the collateral effects of my work would have never happened so multiple friendships would not exist for example.
- Multiple schools would have had to pay more in their computer costs.
- Multiple people would have missed out on crucial help they needed at the time.
- My workplace would not have had some of the tech they do now.
- People would be missing out some of the other cool stuff I built for people with similar interests

This is just some of the stuff I know and can easily recall. The real impact I had I have no idea but some of the ones from the above is going to have had large butterfly effects. I think I generally had a very positive impact. I have my haters to of course, often out of jealousy or disagreement with me.

in the big picture nothing. but all those people i helped, might not have found someone to help them when they wanted help. most people are too busy to help others. or not in the mood. a person is 'the way people remember you'.

The world, likely not much given the world population. Specific people and places, a lot.

Do you think the loss of those specific people is as significant as the loss of the world?

If i had never been born, no one would have known about me, they would have lost nothing
