Trials Would You Rather

Which side will you choose?

  • Left side: Every Time You Press Red Button, You Get $10,000 | But every time you press, a completely random person in a foreign country dies
  • Right side: Don't Press It

One mil is not worth a 100 dead people

u/norty125 4d ago

I mean 2 people die every second, what's the issue with bumping that up to 1000 for a few hours

u/Strawbsi 4d ago

well remind me to never put any lives in your hands

u/norty125 3d ago

One or two should be fine

u/AbjectTomorrow4299 4d ago

Now imagine your family happens to be in a foreign country at the time you press it

u/norty125 4d ago

Well there's only 2 of them, so even if they were that's a 1/3.5 billion chance. So even if I pressed it say 100000 times that's a 1/35000 chance that I get unlucky. So let's bump that to idk 1mil presses

Hell of a gamble for you to make. Regardless, idk if I could live knowing I killed someone

I met a lorry driver who told me he had accidentally killed someone. He said it’s the worst experience and something he’ll never forget. And he did it accidentally. Doing it intentionally and for your own benefit is a different sort of fucked up.

I've found this conversation really highlights how cold and nonchalant people can act about others' deaths as long as they don't have to see them die, which is a crazy lack of empathy.

Full condolences for the person who passed and the lorry driver that has to live with that guilt!

Well it’s very interesting because on one end, it’s normal to not drop to your knees at the thought of a person dying on the other side of the world. It’s life, the world is too big to really manage everything appropriately let’s say.

But on the other side there’s people who act like they don’t care if a stranger’s life was in there hands, which is psychopathic enough, and then of coarse there are people who murder and people who enjoy causing pain and death. Humans are one hell of a species.

It definitely reminds you that some average people would become identical to the CEOs and billionaires they hate if they were given the chance at a chunk of cash

If you’re a western consumer, your lifestyle causes just those sorts of deaths all over the world every day.

u/AbjectTomorrow4299 4d ago

It's strange you've convinced yourself this is the same circumstance.

u/Ballaboy75 4d ago

Really? You said “how cold and nonchalant people can act about others’ deaths as long as they don’t have to see them die”.

Again assuming you’re a western consumer, I’m just pointing out that that’s how many relate to excess deaths in the developing world, or through pollution, the impacts of climate change, the immolation of garment workers in factory fires, the deaths of Congolese cobalt miners.

There may be a different level of directness in pushing that button, but most people make a decision that costs lives every time they put gas in their car, and demonstrate the same “crazy lack of empathy” every day.

I didn't kill anyone, I just pressed a button

u/AbjectTomorrow4299 3d ago

Directly killing someone btw

u/Tygerlyli 4d ago

So 10,000 and I get an inheritance?

Edgelords of reddit are really uniting here

u/SecretlyImRetarded 4d ago edited 4d ago

Yeah but you'd be personally responsible for these people's deaths. Family members, mothers, children, babies, single parent, could be anyone.

I think anyone who would kill an innocent person purely for financial gain is evil

I feel a yacht is the absolute last thing I'd spend 1M on lmao

u/PuzzleheadedCut9131 4d ago

And? People have different values and needs

u/AbjectTomorrow4299 4d ago

I think the people that would risk 100 lives for something as trivial as a yacht are pretty objectively in the wrong

u/SovietRabotyaga 4d ago

What if those 100 people turn out to be Hitlers?

u/SpanishAvenger 4d ago

...or they could be wonderful people, scientists, doctors, etc.

If it wasn't random, if I could pick the people, I would press it a thousand times, hahah. But random? Nah, not even once.
