Why this dilemma matters
In high-stakes situations, the calmer option and the safer option often diverge. Choosing “Sì. Un mondo non può mettere in pericolo migliaia di altri” prioritises a hard but certain outcome; choosing “No. Miliardi di vite non sono danni collaterali accettabili” gives more weight to a softer but riskier outcome.
Worth asking yourself
- Could you live with the outcome you skipped?
- Who pays the price you avoid?
More Survival Dilemmas
- A lifeboat holds 8 people maximum. There are 9 survivors. Someone must go overboard or everyone drowns.
- You can go back in time and kill one person as a baby — preventing a genocide that kills 10 million people. The baby is innocent.
- A plane is going down. There are 6 survivors but only 4 parachutes. You have one. Do you give yours up or keep it?
- In a zombie apocalypse, your group finds a fortified shelter with supplies for 10. There are 15 of you. You hold the only key.
