The responsibility of which button to push
I keep saying posts of 'its easier to get to 50% and save everyone' or 'you'll never reach 100% red,so its wrong to push it'. What these people fail to take into consideration is what the pusher's responsibility is. My responsibility isnt to make sure 8 billion people are safe. My responsibility isnt to save people who knowingly endangered themselves. My responsibility is to protect my family. And while I will want everyone else to be safe,I will choose guaranteed survival for my loved ones every single time.
Its one thing to say 'would you junp into the river to save someone who fell in'. Obviously thats something I would try to do. What Im not going to do is tell my entire family to junp into the river to save that person who junped in because there MIGHT be someone else in the river. Just to go up 1% requires 800,000 people. Telling people that they and everyone they know needs to risk their lives to POTENTIALLY save people who KNOWINGLY put themselves in that situation isnt responsible or moral-its the height of selfishness. 'I would rather die then live in a world of red pushers.' So...youd rather millions if not billions die than admit you were wrong? And Im the selfish one? If you genuinely want to save people, thats noble. But when you start demanding others due it,its no longer noble its just virtue signaling.
