Ask HN: What is your dangerous idea?

Resurrecting The Edge Annual Question from 2006 [1]. Here's the original prompt:

> The history of science is replete with discoveries that were considered socially, morally, or emotionally dangerous in their time; the Copernican and Darwinian revolutions are the most obvious. What is your dangerous idea? An idea you think about (not necessarily one you originated) that is dangerous not because it is assumed to be false, but because it might be true?
