Don't know if it would make the world better or worse, but it should by my choice to share my thoughts or not

Worse at first and then better, if we didn't all kill each other before then.

Better if people were honest.

Better. We'd realize how similar we really are, the extent to which we struggle with the same problems. Stereotyping and bigotry would be completely rescripted, overnight.

Christ in a sidecar, it would be sooooo much worse. Society operates on the basis of necessary lies - small ones, big ones, casual ones, those freighted with intent. All of that would go out the window if we actually knew what other people were thinking. To quote Bill Murray from Ghostbusters - cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria.

"Christ in a sidecar", lol. That's a new one (to me).

Far, far worse. What goes on in the privacy of my mind should never be let loose upon the world.

It'd be more honest at least. I'll give it a plus.

Depends on who I'm with.

Worse
