Thread: The ULTIMATE decision..

Seriously, though. In the interest of philosophical integrity (if there is such a thing), we would have to alter the context once again.

In the original question, there are two options: take the money, kill a stranger, and get your memory wiped, or don't.

If your subject takes the money, then you can be assured that they value their own happiness more than the happiness of others.

If, however, your subject does not take the money, you can't be assured of their altruism. The subject may just be motivated by the desire not to have their mind fucked with.

So, the question becomes, how can you alter the context to remove this error?

#2 100% no do question


i would most likely just search up pictures of places and get as much information and as many ideas into my head as possible during those 7 days.

That would be my ultimate fantasy to have an eternal lucid dream. Real life is absolutely terrible and retarded compared to dreams.

I don't think you're suppose to take the question so literaly. However, the so called step is essential as part of the "blissful ignornace".

It all comes down to how you value your happiness vs. the hapiness (or lack there of) of a complete stranger were the constarints of society to be lifted.
