For 2020 only, every human on Earth suddenly gets the desire to accept, provide, and support responsibility.What are the pros? Whay are the cons?

I go first. You can add anything I may have missed after.

Pros: People with normal good goals either achive them or make a lot of progress.

Cons: Bad people also are more likely to succeed at their goals. No matter how insane or destructive.Anything I missed? Discuss.

You missed the point of your question. Why? What is the point of your post?

There’s nothing more to say, closing this thread.
