I voted for thoughts alter reality because I thought it would be really funny watching all the chaos unfold.

>>17748108If you've ever seen the show Legion it's sort of like that where the main character is some schizophrenic guy who basically has God-like powers. It's pretty entertaining, but the writing becomes more and more nonsensical as it goes on doe.

If we could all read each other's minds that would change a lot, not sure if it would be good or bad. Probably bad

^how destructive would it be to grant humanity the gift to turn thoughts into reality?
>It could be civilization-ending, because peopleβs thoughts, impulses, intrusive thoughts, and dreams could instantly alter reality. Intentional violence could become trivial, while money, resources, governments, weapons, and even scientific inventions could simply be imagined into existence. If subconscious thoughts and dreams count too, reality could become dangerously unstableβwith nightmares potentially manifesting as real catastrophes.

^if you tweaked it to prevent thoughts from causing harm to oneself or to others what else would be problematic?
>Even with a safeguard against harming people, the power could still completely destabilize civilization through unlimited creation of resources, people, technology, and other things. It would also create problems with conflicting realities, privacy, ownership, identity, and unintended consequences. In short, preventing direct harm wouldn't prevent reality itself from becoming chaotic.

Practically everyone would turn to some form of Christianity if everyone was hyper intelligent. You know this is true.
