What things do you think shouldn't have been invented?

Most humans seem to need something akin to religion, even if it's not religion. Politics is a religion, as it's based in belief all the same ('We believe this will happen if we do this.'). A lot of "science" is also based in belief too as it's only science if it's falsifiable ('We don't know, but it should... .' Is akin to belief). Some don't, like the highly independent/individualistic, but they're the minority. I'll fall under that one. Most humans like being told what to do, what to think and what they do and think are the "good" things (whether they're good or not).

Collectiveness. Which is something I kinda wish wasn't "invented", as I'm not a fan of groups of humans. I don't mind individual humans. Humans are most dangerous in groups, and any stupidity is compounded the more humans. I can talk to pretty much any individual and come to an agreement. Not so much with a group.

Abuse and misinterpretation of religion to be exact.

This maybe a little off topic but as a fan of rpg video games I wish medieval fantasy rpgs were put on hiatus/stop being invented for a short amount of time that more ideas and other settings could be incorporated into the rpg genre such as alternate history and historical fiction could exist alongside medieval fantasy in rpg video games.

No argument with any of those.

Nazis and Soviets.

Communism

Co-occuring conditions such as cognitive impairments because they are what screw over the more severely affected autistic people and a lot of other disabled people. I used to say developmental delays were the worst part but however I only meant developmental delays as in never meeting your milestones rather than being a late bloomer. They don't define autism at all because being autistic doesn't mean your intellectually or cognitively disabled with Britannica defining autism as a neurobiological disorder with deficits in social interaction and with abnormal behaviors and interests.

Hyperpartisanship.

Guns.

Politics.

Religion is a primitive psychotherapeutic technique. At the same time, it usually contributes to centralization and basic education.
It was good for groups in those times when it was invented.
The atheist psychiatrist I follow sometimes advises the neurotic who is helpless to try a religion - in an atheist country! - This can prove that religion has its positive meaning.

Although we now need to deal with its anachronistic side effects.

The abuse of social software by the boss - the advancement of technology has exposed workers to a more comprehensive exploitation.

The Catholic church.

Glue traps.
