I’ll admit I’m exhausted, but I’m confused about the simple lives part? Seems really non-sequitor Even people with empathy disagree, kill, try, out compete? Fuck even I’ve done things and felt bad.

So without understanding the second part of your hypothetical question, and no knowledge of this magic buttons operation, yes, assuming it’s not some monkey’s paw bullshit.

But to respond generally, how about the preamble to the constitution:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Tell me a better mission statment from an existing government.
