Do you think the world would be a better or worse place if everyone suddenly could read each other’s thoughts?
I believe a lot more people would be dead, and quickly.
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).
Initially, freaking Horrible! A few weeks later, much better all the way around.
