Would you be morally justified in using that machine to force everyones hand, for the greater good? (This is a one-time effect, each new human born would have to be re programmed, if not done via traditional indoctrination)

That’s a tough one. On one hand, if everybody thought the way I wanted them to, we’d have a really peaceful existence. But… if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my travels, variety is what makes this world such an interesting place. I think that even though it make world peace unlikely, I’d prefer people to be left to their own devices for the greater good.
