Tralfamadorian ways - Slaughterhouse 5

In the book Slaughterhouse 5, there are extraterrestrials who go by the name of Tralfamadorians. They view time in four dimensions and therefore, it is very different to them. Billy is a human character who is abducted by them and is thereby taught their ways of thinking.
If Billy were to pass on their time perception methods, I believe it would have fairly negative results on society. People would no longer mind if their loved ones passed away and probably wouldn't care if they, themselves, died. Attitudes such as this would also result in people unintentionally harming others. Though I'm sure that there would be certain advantages, i believe that the human mind is not advanced enough and would not be able to exist with such mental processes.
