If everyone became like you, would the world be a better place?

r/

Everyone will act as you would if you were put into their situation.

For example, if you gained a million dollars and donated 10%, that is what everyone would do.

Or if you always pick up litter, so would everyone else.

How would the world change for you?

    Things would be tidy and well aligned due to my OCD. But there are many better people in the world than me, so I’d defer to a better candidate.

    No, I don’t think so. But it would be different. So that’s something.

    I’d like to think so. I do give 10% to charity. I work hard. I don’t litter. I recycle. I try not to be an asshole.

    But I’d have some concerns too, not because of my bad behavior necessarily, but because nature loves variety and sameness isn’t good. Would everyone become a vegetarian like me? What would happen to the livestock? Would everyone start fostering shelter dogs at the expense of cats or snakes? Would everyone change religions or become ethically non-monogamous?

    I wouldn’t want this for everyone if it includes personal preferences that wouldn’t be for the good of the whole

    No. I have issues. I want my wife and previous partners as well to get banged by other men. It turns me on and I do know it’s not normal behaviour

    Maybe a little. I do pick up litter. I treat every person I come across with respect and a smile. I volunteer my time and some money to the community.

    I’m not perfect by any means, but I think if everyone behaved like me, then maybe someone’s life will be a bit better.

    I’m honestly not sure it would necessarily be better. I feel like it’s 50/50 if the world got better or basically ended immediately.

    The world would be kinder but not better. I have ADD to the point where I don’t take care of things as well as I should. If everyone did that, the world would fall apart.

    Vaccines don’t cause autism, but apparently my existence now does.

    Shit wouldn’t get done. But everyone would be pretty cool to each other for a while.

    Maybe eventually but a lot of markets would crash from all the things I don’t want to buy and all the jobs I don’t want to do. Also a bunch of people would be depressed because there’s not enough sertraline or chicken nuggets for all of us (and the factory farms would shut down so that’s even less chicken nuggets)
