Suppose someone made a wish on a magic lamp that everyone on the planet would suddenly know everything everyone else on the planet did, is doing, and what their future intetions are. Theoritcally, if we knew everything everyone was doing, their would be no more crime. Polititians wouldn't be able to take kickbacks because we'd know, you wouldn't walk into a certain dark alley because you'd know a man inside would stab you, no one could launch a supprise nuke attack, and so on. It could be a chance to create a utopian society. The flip side is that everyone would know everything you ever did and you'd have no privacy. Would you think this would be an acceptable trade off? If this was put to a vote would you vote for it?
