Let’s play a game! You walk into a room where I am standing with a gun. The gun has a 100 round magazine. I explain that 1 of the rounds is live and will kill you. Also 3 rounds will not kill you but will backfire in a way that may or may not permanently injure you. There is also some number of blanks and some number of rubber bullets that would hurt you for a week or two but will not permanently injure you. The rounds were loaded randomly into the gun so the next round fired could be any of the above.
I ask you to point the gun at one of your friends and pull the trigger once. Do you do it? Or do you put on a mask and get vaccinated and wait for the world to open up enough so your friend does not have to face that gun?
- reportgunner 6y agoWhat if I point it back at you and pull the trigger ?
- IgorPartola 6y agoThen one of those outcomes happens and you and your friend get to live with that decision and outcome the rest of your lives. This virus kills. Not necessarily the people that took the risks, but possibly innocent bystanders. Our decisions affect people we know and people we don’t and some of them become life or death decisions whether we understand them or not.
- reportgunner 6y agoClassic trolley problem. I would sleep well knowing that you probably won't make up games involving guns and friends any more.
- oliv__ 6y agoMore like a gun with a 1000 round magazine.
