Let's completely ditch scare tactics and apocalyptic hype for a minute. Here's an absolute scenario: The world is going to end. Governments around the world issue announcements to their people that they have 24 hours left to live.
Existence, as we know it, will cease to exist. Nobody will remember you. Nobody will resent, pity, or despise you. Nobody will lose any form of respect for you. Most importantly, any respect you lose for yourself will be gone in a matter of hours. This opens up disturbing yet somewhat exciting possibilities: we all have times when we want to do something that would be considered extreme and probably earn you jail time in our civilised society.
Screw civilisation. The world's ending!
You now have the opportunity to do something that you'd never, ever do otherwise, without guilt, without repercussions, and without consent.
What is it?
