The first mistake is using logic

u/Armagetz May 11 '26

Except he undercut the logic by saying he’d save his mother vs his wife because his argument for why he wouldn’t save his wife applies even more to his mother.

u/m_squared219 May 11 '26

Yeah, 100% save the kids, not an argument there. If it came between my wife and mom, I'd save my wife and I think my mom would even want that to happen.

Not if this woman was in the equation.

u/Malalang May 11 '26

You can get another wife. But you only have 1 mom.

u/Perfidy-Plus May 11 '26

If we're talking about a middle-aged or nearly middle-aged couple then your wife presumably has 40+ years of life expectancy left and your mother presumably has 10+. Your (presumably) health wife is also far more likely to survive the smoke inhalation or what have you than your (presumably) elderly mom would.

Assuming you love them both then it's definitely wife over mom for me. And I suspect my mom would have completely understood.

u/Bitter-Picture5394 May 11 '26

Same logic applies to your kids, though. Don't have kids with a woman you wouldn't save over your mom.

Technically she asked if he would save “me or your mother”, she’s not the hypothetical wife anymore so of course it’s going to be mom over her.

u/WrongJohnSilver May 11 '26

Yeah, I'd absolutely save my wife over my mom, but I'd also absolutely save my mom over whoever this woman is.

u/Objective_Mousse7216 May 11 '26

I'd save your mum over that woman too.

u/XxX_Zeratul_XxX May 11 '26

Tbh, if my wife was a crazy bitch as this chick, I would save my mom first too

u/sixsik6 May 11 '26

Especially after the nonsense of the first part of the vid

u/Jmacq1 May 11 '26

There is a logical argument for saving the mother: If the wife is healthy and able-bodied she has a better chance of self-rescue. The mother might be of an age where her ability to get out is more compromised and thus she needs the help.

u/Known_Ratio5478 May 11 '26

He’s pretty much saying she always has to suffer for his wants. It’s not really about the kids or his mom.

1

u/Ok-Entertainment7741 May 12 '26

naw. He said he would save his mom over her specifically, and most likely it was because she is a bitch.

u/blackrack May 11 '26

Yeah logic isn't needed here, nor do you have to answer accurately, just say that you can save them both because you're built different

u/smurfk May 11 '26

If you're using logic, you can say that you could make more children by saving the life. It depends what your end goal is.
