RE: If we were all telepathic, how would the world be different? The Ecotrain question of the week!
good thoughts alex about the reasons we lie and perhaps it's for our evolution to coexist better. also interesting points about politicians not being able to lie. i would hope that if we can understand each other better through hearing thoughts that rape and war would stop, but as another commenter said below, i'm not sure the people who do those things would care even if they were more connected to the other person. a sad thought, i know. ultimately, it's an interesting thought experiment in how this may spur more empathy... or make sex really great, as you say! lol
thanks mountainjewel. YEs i think its impossible to imagine it happening as an overnight change. But maybe if telepathy evolved slowly, over many years, then things could change more naturally and calmly..
It would be a great movie to see what happens to a powerful, rich, influential person who wakes up one day and can suddenly hear all his friends and colleagues thoughts. If you hear just about everyone thinking that you are a complete douchebag, it might just initiate change.. esp if it's your wife and kids, and even the pet dog thinking it ;+) Imagine if even your goldfish looks at you and says "My god you are a douchebag".. LOL!
hahaha! yes this reminds me of a movie that is one of my faves called la belle verte.... this actually happens to a doctor in the movie, pretty close to what you say!.. ultimately it's a consciousness-raising film that shows what would happen if telepathy and many other "out there" skills were to be the norm.. here it's online
oh COOL! thanks a lot. ive been looking for a decent movie to watch for ages! <3
That was a wonderful movie!
