Comment on New mrbeast video is dark
Avicenna@programming.dev 1 week agoYea I thought about that but you can not trade one person’s life for a thousand others unless that person willingly participates.
By logic this should also extend to me and my loved ones but ofcourse when it is someone closer to you whose life may be saved, you can probably no longer act objectively.

I don’t think that’s entirely true
Everyday society chooses to save a persons life and not another’s
Not explicitly but not so indirectly either

Yea but I think there is a difference between the two, it is a more direct consequence of your decision only, not society on a whole. I would imagine shared guilt of indirect results is much lighter on the psychology than a direct and visible consequence of what comes out of one’s mouth. There is ofcourse alot of grey region scenarios in between (like you won’t know who dies, or death will be of natural causes but immediate etc).
