Apparently I wasn't quite clear on that, as we got willravel's horrific socialist dystopia, and others writing as if they ruled the world, slightly different direction there. I was aiming more for a fun post not 'how I would change the world' or 'how I'd get rid of 5 billion people'.

But back to the idea that such a world would be boring, something echoed by many. Would it really be boring to you because really everything you think of as fun would be far more common and what you think of as boring would go away.

If suddenly everyone stopped playing say soccer, something I don't care about, there would be absolutely no change in the excitement quality of the world.
I agree. My world would be very exciting, what with the abundance of roller coasters and no such thing as processed cheese food.

Oh, and don't forget the stockings. Every female leg encased in glorious suspended nylon.
