This brings up an interesting point, our view of morality is heavily skewed. If you made me choose between something bad happening to my partner or 10 random people, I would save my partner every time and I expect every normal person in the world to choose the same.
- dartos 2y agoWell humans aren’t perfectly rational. I wouldn’t think it moral to save my kitten over a random non-evil person, but I’d still do it.
- Iulioh 2y agoIt is a rational choice tho. It wouldn't just hurt your partner, it would hurt you. We know that following a "objective morality" the 10 people would be a better choice but it would hurt (indirectly) you.
- dartos 2y agoYou’re right. Maybe rational was the wrong word. Humans aren’t perfectly objective.
