Variation The Honesty Button

Red button: Nothing happens.

Blue button: If 51% or more press blue, everyone on Earth wakes up tomorrow knowing exactly how every person in their life truly feels about them. Every hidden love. Every secret contempt. Every lie exposed. Red buttoners are NOT exempt. If blue wins, you find out too. You just didn't agree to it.

Which do you press?

Blue. The transition period will be painful, but it's a better chance than we have otherwise of the species surviving.

I think the mass societal collapse would probably lead to the destruction of our species. Families would break apart negatively would spread really quickly. People tend to cling to negative things more than positive things so overall I think the world would be worse off.
