You are a late 20s, single, female middle manager in a very large company, named Emanna Wuff, in a country with conservative social norms.

There is a button that, once pushed, will remove the ability for the button pusher to weigh social norms in their decision calculses e.g. day-to-day decisions, presentation to proximate actors, life decisions etc.

When interacting with people, the button pusher is still aware of social norms and how others conform to them. The button pusher cannot develop the capacity to weigh social norms in the future e.g. from conversations, interactions, etc.

You have only one chance to push the button, only you can push it, and when pushed, the action is irreversible.
