If you press the button, the bottom % of 'worst people' in your country vanish from existence and others' memories. 'Worst' is calculated by direct, concrete harm they've done to other people, after being balanced out by the good they've done. How big a % would you eliminate?

0. Would not press.

Clarifying: people get magically assigned 'bad' points (the more direct/intense the harm, the more points assigned). They also are magically assigned 'good' points according to same rules. The 'good' points are minused from the 'bad' points. Most bad points leftover loses.

I start finding myself willing to press this button as I start being unable to conceive of that many people; 1% is a no; ~0.1% (1/1000) begins the "maybe" range; 1/1b is solidly in the "yes" range.
