Do you think the world would be a better or worse place if everyone suddenly could read each other’s thoughts?
If it happened suddenly, I have no doubt it would cause chaos and hatred. It would be awful. I mean seriously, when I think of my innermost thoughts being out there, it scares the crap out of me.
I would go live as a hermit. The crap that passes through my head is all I can handle. Can you imagine accidentally reading a really crazy persons' thoughts? Hell no.
The negatives outweigh the positives on this one for me.
@MustardSeed I'm afraid you are far too optimistic. Humans can't evolve that fast. The dead would be in the billions.
@MustardSeed Why can't you acknowledge this idea has horrible consequences? Collaboration? That would last five minutes...just long enough for you to check out your collaborator's girlfriend.
No ,no,no, you would lose all your friends and suffer many a slapped face !
@MustardSeed Um, I say no way. Far more people would hate and then murder each other. Civilization would burn. What if Kim could read Trump's thoughts? Bad bad bad idea!
I think it would be terrible. I would probably get fired from my job.
Worse off, there would be far too much.... Punishment for Thought Crimes....Now where have I heard that before?
Absolutely worse. I prefer that my thoughts remain completely private, unless and until I choose to share them.
We're already entirely too close to the "Thought Police" as it is.
@MustardSeed I don't know, but I have no interest in ever finding out. I really hate the idea.
