You are getting a button. It is a perfect empathy machine; when you use it, you can cause anyone in the world to experience the feelings of any other person’s life*. The only catch is, whenever you use it you automatically experience what the least happy person you have ever met experiences for at least a day. The longer you want the effect of the machine to last on others, the longer you experience that. There is information on side effects or lasting impacts from someone experiencing another persons mind. Will you use it?
Yes and without hesitation (at least the first time)
Yes, but with real hesitation or indecision
Maybe? I’d need a long time to decide either way
I would want to, but couldn’t bring myself to
No, but I’d keep it just in case
No, but I’d give it to someone else
No, and I’d break it/hide it
*If you’ve seen Hitchhiker’s Guide, you get the idea, but this also includes feelings from your life history.
You can’t use it and give it away. If you use it it’s yours.
