It won't be a better world if there's no private property or freedom of speech or freedom to breed or freedom of thought.

The instant these freedoms are forfeited, the world becomes worse.

Nothing because there is nothing guaranteeing the better world would remain intact.

I'd give it 3-4 generations...

Do you build your public order and happiness buildings first in total war games?

Trump.

Edit: QuarterSwede beat me to it, so I'll go for Musk as a close second.

emotionally, i want to say any and everything including my life, but i know that is merely talk until i have something deadly to face. however, i truly believe there isn't a single human rights issue not deserving of risking it all. but i am cowardly because i am fearful and insecure. i don't believe in myself although i try to. i have given up personal comforts for those i don't know and my friends, but am i ready to face something as severe as prison or being sent to a camp? i want to say "yes, of course," but.. idk. i know if our culture became more radical and revolutionary then i would feel ideological support from those around me and would be more willing to engage.

Would you sacrifice your flesh? No more body. Brain slurped out at birth, wired up to the internet.

Would you sacrifice your sex hormones? No more estrogen or testosterone.

Not really a sacrifice if it's something you don't want

Depends on your definition. It’s called a play on words.

Convenience.
Sadly it is something far fewer people are willing to give up than any of the above.
