If I could change anything in the world: I feel that most of the world's problems fundamentally stem from the dis-functional and destructive way in which humans extract energy, food, and water from the environment. Re-orienting ourselves towards renewable energy and sustainable agriculture and water practices will go a long way to preventing wars, disease and starvation, as well as more obviously slowing climate change and other environmental problems. If I could change anything in the poker world: Flatter final table payout structures.
