I asked how would it change anything. What's the next step if an oracle were to tell you p=np that changes anything about the world?

We all believe it. It's a magic oracle. Now what?

If it is known that A is provably true then one can study the consequences of A being true. It changes things becuase the body of knowledge has expanded.
