The shelter holds 10. You're 15. The math is brutal, and there is no procedural fairness available — anyone you let in beyond 10 reduces the survival probability of the original group, including yourself. The decision is whether you treat the group as fixed once it forms, or whether you treat every additional human as worth the marginal risk.
Why people split
One view holds that closed-system survival logic kicks in once resources are bounded — keeping the door open guarantees collective death and is the more dangerous form of generosity. The other view holds that anyone willing to enforce a hard limit becomes the kind of person who has chosen which neighbours die — and that's a moral position with its own weight.

What the split says
These questions test what you would actually do, not what sounds good in the abstract. Once votes come in, this section will show how voters balance immediate safety against later consequences.
Worth asking yourself
- Is the risk small enough to gamble on?
- What cost are you more willing to accept?
