I suspect that most human social problems would be solved if we had neural implants downloading other people’s personal boundaries into our brains as knowsense—automatic intuition we don’t have to think about. Essentially it would be an expansion of cognitive empathy, which is sorely needed. Then, everyone would know exactly how to treat everyone else they meet, and it would be easier to recognize malign actors who willingly refuse to respect boundaries, as they don’t have the “I didn’t know!” excuse.
