> If there was a button you could push that would give you $10M, but also cause many thousands of people to constantly express their hatred for you online, would you push it? Would the average person choose to push it? How would it change their expected happiness?
Bring that button over here and let me press it 10 times. I know I haven't hurt anyone physically (i.e. don't give me 10m but 100 people get cancer - I don't want that!).
$10m will buy be a nice small house somewhere remotely (200k-300k), I will stop working, I will spend my life reading books.. let's say $2k-$3k per year (I will also buy a couple expensive ones each year)(hey after all my name IS Henry Bemis!! look it up!).
Food-drink-travel.. let's say another $30k-$40k per year.
Gun & ammo & permit.. I have no idea how much they cost, but let's add 5k for all.
A Honda Accord (or similar inexpensive forever-car) $5k? $10k?
I'm not young.. so by the time I die there will be many millions to spare as well (charity, donations, inheritance, etc.)
Bring that button forward and see you never again :)
- Ekaros 2y ago2% of 10 million is 200k... Seems like reasonable enough sum of money each year to ignore some hate. Or just keep your life private.
