This paper addresses the historically biased selection of problems in technoscience, which has been predominantly shaped by Western male perspectives. We propose a novel framework with objective criteria for identifying and prioritizing human worthy scientific technological attention. Our approach aims to transcend traditional biases, incorporating more inclusive, global perspective. outline metrics considering factors such as scale, urgency, potential impact, relevance across diverse populations. Using these criteria, we identify key challenges including climate change, pandemic preparedness, food water security, education access, sustainable energy transition, AI governance, biodiversity conservation, mental health. present network analysis their interconnections, revealing complex interdependencies cascading effects interventions. mathematical framework, based on graph theory analysis, provides rigorous foundation understanding quantifying relationships. research contributes decolonizing degendering offering equitable addressing pressing \cite{roy2018}. findings have significant implications prioritization, policy-making, resource allocation endeavors, potentially reshaping how address most critical issues facing humanity.
