Unless you're saying this person is worth less than you, then the plan suited to them is indeed as good as the one suited to you. A few popular assumptions that aren't necessarily true: Living is always better than dying. Your actions have an effect on the outcome. You can do it. People should always do what they should. It matters.

Why do you call those things assumptions? That says more about you than the people you claim are assuming these things.

  They can be assumptions because life is complex & sometimes people tell themselves convenient lies to make themselves feel better. It depends on the circumstances.

    Perhaps the convenient lies are the opposite?

      Like I said, it really depends on the circumstances. Sometimes having control over your fight-or-flight reaction is better for you, personally, given your value system, than say trampeling fellow coworkers in a panic on your way out the door. Don't judge too harshly people who don't share your starry-eyed view of the world. Let them have their peace if they're so resolved.

    Was it unclear? That these are conclusions from evidence not built in popular assumptions. I don’t believe these things by training and for a long time I didn’t believe them. I’ve grown to believe themninstead.

> Unless you're saying this person is worth less than you By their relative actions aren't they both agreeing that in this situation the one doing nothing to saves themselves is worth less?

  You would have to ask them. Speaking for myself, I think a few minutes of acting however I wish, even at great peril, might be very tempting compared to living longer as a craven little mouse scurrying from hole to hole. Not sure what I'd choose until I were in the moment of course, but the example seems sufficient to point out that the diametric opposite conclusion is possible.
