Why this dilemma matters
These questions test what you would actually do, not what sounds good in the abstract. Choosing “Let everyone in. Find a way together” prioritises immediate safety; choosing “Only let 10 in. Ensure the group survives” gives more weight to long-term cost.
Worth asking yourself
- Is the risk small enough to gamble on?
- What cost are you more willing to accept?
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?
- A new pandemic: there is only one vaccine dose left in the city. You and an elderly stranger both need it to survive. A doctor hands it to you.
