Time to go mix a drink, and revive the thread. (Cause drunk previous me looks smart and slightly witty to currently drunk me. I think this means I'm pretty well drunk already, but the next one should ice it.)

So I was referencing over in the Trump thread an idea that seems to beg an interesting question. How many unknown Indian/African/Chinese/whatever peasants would need to die before you would volunteer to stand in (all of their) steads? Honest answers - I've already (politely) laid into Strato for what I considered insufficient thinking. (Although on rereading, I'm going to guess we've just got different value systems, such that he'd rebuff my position just as strongly.)

Probably need to flesh it out more, but I'm not so good on the story telling. So ideally rate (number) it in two categories, "emotional" and "abstracted".

For the emotional, I've not yet learned my mortality, so it can go as low as 1 to 1 for me. On the abstracted side of it though (the devil and god show up saying they've been forced to compromise on you making the choice) I'm probably at 100 to 1 or higher. Somewhere above that the guilt might actually get to me bad enough I'd "feel" the future pain and pick ending it instead.


[Or just tell me to stop drunken posting cause it isn't fun and revives old(ish) threads. No irony - I might even listen.]
