Just think about it people fight over racist or sexist names every day if names were banned and we went by numbers instead the world will be much happier.

EDIT: This will also allow us as a race to become more united without language or name barriers holding us down.

I actually had this idea recently, I even devised a whole system, but then realised that society wouldn’t accept that. If you can convince the greater society that this is a good idea, then be my guest, but otherwise it won’t work.

People tend to assume that Entrance of the Gladiators by Julius Fučík is what that ever so famous circus clown theme is. And it is. Nobody would ever argue with you on this fact.
However, if you want to be an unlikable, pedantic jerk, the song actually known as "circus music" would be a version composed for American woodwind bands (and later transcribed for fairground organs) titled Thunder and Blazes, published by Louis-Philippe Laurendeau.
Of course, this information is of absolutely no consequence to anyone.

Great, say goodbye to individuality. Humans are not mindless ants that mindlessly follow programmed orders, they are each beings that, to an extent, are selfish and greedy. Whether these human traits is good or bad is how you interpret it; I merely believe they help one recognize onceself as an individual.

Oh hey I remember a group of people who repressed people’s names and only referred to them as numbers they were like National Socialists or something.

S'pose not, though a name, whether you got to choose it or not, is more personal than a number. I feel like there's a good reason folks are called numbers when you want to dehumanize them.

I agree. Ultimately, it’s up to society whether something like names should exist or not.

Okay, but you can’t just ban a name. That’s stepping into some crazy extremist territory.

This went on too long without a Prisoner reference. Sham on you, internet.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

We make society. We need to change this archaic idea in order to progress as a species.
