You are captain of a cruise liner full of children. The ship is boarded by pirates. These pirates are utterly evil and utterly truthful. They demand that either you eat one child, who happens to be about to die of a congenital heart defect, or they will blow up the ship and kill hundreds of children.
What do you do?
- rokhayakebe 18y agoDude, you have a wild imagination.
- asif 18y agoI'm not sure what I would do, but I know what Jack Bauer would do. He would eat the pirates.
- khafra 18y agoAbsolute veracity is generally acknowledged to be a virtue, conflicting with the "utterly evil" trait. Thus, the pirates disappear in a puff of logic. This once again proves that conjectural sophistry based on impossible examples is categorically un-compelling.
