It’s important to make sure your wishes are known regarding vengeance. Unlike Banquo from Macbeth, as you lay dying, you may not get a chance to shout:
“O treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly!
Thou may’st revenge – O slave!”
- and importantly be sure to leave a list of who your enemies are, to give the detectives a starting point.

This advice seems to apply only to a minority of people that have enemies that might consider killing them and have the resources to do it without leaving much evidence behind. I don't think this would apply to the average person.
- LeonB 3y agoWhat you’re indirectly highlighting is that the dominant asymmetry is the difference between the risk of having not thought about it and the cost of having thought about it and found no problem. The average person - the median - has little cost in asking this question - but for the minority it applies to, it has a very large cost if not asked. Imagine a helpful insurance policy. “Most” people wouldn’t benefit from it. Fine. Those that do would make up for it on intensity of bentit.
