let someone else do it?

2020-02-22 20:05:08 UTC  

Say you're an alien who doesn't know about Earth, but you have the choice , basically save 50m for 1

2020-02-22 20:05:14 UTC  

nope

2020-02-22 20:05:16 UTC  

not my choice

2020-02-22 20:05:17 UTC  

then you'd save the 50m

2020-02-22 20:05:19 UTC  

every time

2020-02-22 20:05:22 UTC  

no

2020-02-22 20:05:24 UTC  

not. my. choice.

2020-02-22 20:05:25 UTC  

he'd choose neither

2020-02-22 20:05:32 UTC  

which is an option as well

2020-02-22 20:05:39 UTC  

Re. Tard. Ed.

2020-02-22 20:05:44 UTC  

Its not tho

2020-02-22 20:05:45 UTC  

because you have no knowledge of what the lifeforms are, just that there is a choice of either 50 million, or one

2020-02-22 20:05:48 UTC  

1 life is too much

2020-02-22 20:05:53 UTC  

you're telling me you save every ant hill when some snow is coming?

2020-02-22 20:05:55 UTC  

or some flood?

2020-02-22 20:05:55 UTC  

But you have the choice as an agent

2020-02-22 20:06:02 UTC  

1 life is too much, so you sacrifice 50 million to save the 1

2020-02-22 20:06:03 UTC  

bollocks

2020-02-22 20:06:03 UTC  

As in someone with agency

2020-02-22 20:06:05 UTC  

stonks

2020-02-22 20:06:11 UTC  

I didnt say that

2020-02-22 20:06:26 UTC  

nope, i don't need to make a choice

2020-02-22 20:06:33 UTC  

i can walk away from it

2020-02-22 20:06:38 UTC  

it is fair to make the choice of no choice

2020-02-22 20:06:45 UTC  

you can walk away from it, which is the choice to save 1 person

2020-02-22 20:06:48 UTC  

at the expense of 50 million

2020-02-22 20:06:51 UTC  

no it's not

2020-02-22 20:06:54 UTC  

yes it is

2020-02-22 20:06:58 UTC  

that is the choice you are making?

2020-02-22 20:07:08 UTC  

a refusal to engage is not to say the default is the one i pick

2020-02-22 20:07:12 UTC  

Making it purely about numbers defeats the point wladfa is trying to make

2020-02-22 20:07:16 UTC  

which i understand

2020-02-22 20:07:49 UTC  

Although i may not be able to articulate it into words, it is a choice i understand one has the ability to make

2020-02-22 20:08:57 UTC  

I see inaction as a choice

2020-02-22 20:09:10 UTC  

You can even be prosecuted for inaction I believe

2020-02-22 20:09:10 UTC  

the argument of "1life is too much" would mean that no matter what choice i make, blood will be directly tied to my hands

2020-02-22 20:09:15 UTC  

some people cant make that kind of choice

2020-02-22 20:09:30 UTC  

you can be prosecuted for everything

2020-02-22 20:09:33 UTC  

that doesn't make it correct

2020-02-22 20:09:44 UTC  

the 2 options are change it, or leave it in the default state, so i dont see how ignoring the problem is anything other than leaving it in the default state
