If you found out some of those cons (or some close version of them) were necessary in order to achieve those pros, would anything shift for you?
For instance, if you see people acting to work on/improve/increase the cons… would you see those people as acting badly/negatively if you knew it was the only realistic way to achieve the pros?
(This is just in the hypothetical world where this is true. I do not know if it is.)
Like, what if we just live in a “tragic world” where you can’t achieve things like your pros list without… basically feeding people’s desire for community and connection? And what if people’s desire for connection often ends up taking the form of wanting to live/work/interact together? Would anything shift for you?
(If my hypothetical does nothing, then could you come up with a hypothetical that does?)

This question is incomplete. The corrected version would read:
“If you found out some of those cons (or some close version of them) were necessary in order to achieve some of those pros, would anything shift for you?”
Given this, the answer is “of course, and it would depend on which Cons were necessary in order to achieve which Pros”.
Now, you said that your question is a mere hypothetical, but let’s not obfuscate: clearly, if not you, then at least other folks here, think that your hypothetical scenario describes reality. But as Ray commented elsethread, this is hardly the ideal context to hash out the details of this topic. So I won’t. I will, however, ask you this:
Do you think that some of the Cons on my list are necessary in order to achieve some of the Pros? (No need to provide details on which, etc.)

(shucks, now I’m kind of ashamed of my own reply to Said above, which is not nearly as skillful as this)
