    Every one gets a strong moral compass that they can’t ignore.

    Sure we won’t all have the same morals but I believe that most bad things in the world happen because people ignore morals and act selfish and only a small part of our issues stem from actual moral differences.

    Edit: Seems I am much more optimistic than I thought.

        You could argue that “moral compass” means more than just a strong sense of right/wrong. Presumably, most people have that, even if we don’t describe it as such. I think OP intended something more like a “strong sense of harmony” wherein everyone has a shared common understanding of some greater good and therefore work towards it with common cause.

        It’s still a fairly naive notion, but for an entirely different reason. Rather than self-righteous chaos, such a wish would lead to a sort of moral tyranny imposed by one single person’s preconceptions of what constitutes a moral life.

        Depends what you mean by moral compass. I don’t think anyone’s conscious tells them “man, we really shouldn’t be mixing these textiles”. They might feel guilty for breaking rules they want to follow, but that’s it.
