If I had a motorcycle, giving it up would be the payment. Hence, I could pass the value on to someone else who assisted me, in theory.
If I "paid myself" I guess that would mean I could choose something else risky to do with my "balance" of micromorts.
- Dylan16807 6y agoThat, and your previous post as far as I understand, only makes sense if someone that owns a motorcycle is stuck using it, unable to put it away or destroy it. A world where motorcycles act like curses is an interesting concept for a short story, but not very relevant to a discussion of micromorts.
- perl4ever 6y agoWell, if the cost of riding a motorcycle is millions of dollars, then it must be that they act like curses in the real world; otherwise you can't explain people doing it.
- Dylan16807 6y ago* People don't act rationally about small risks, and greatly exaggerate or diminish them based on fear. * Not everyone is going to put the same value on their own life. * Some people will find major restrictions worse than a very small risk of death. There's three perfectly good explanations. Also if you use $5 per micromort, a pretty standard number, you get a motorcycle-riding cost of about eleven dollars a day. Plenty of people would pay that on purpose. Also using perpetuity math is really wrong unless you plan to live hundreds of years.
