What if there was a button that could solve every problem, but it also made one person into a gelatinous interdimensional hug monster that just won’t stop hugging and also it’s Kanye West? Have you considered the utilitarian implications!?
As a sensible pragmatic type that is capable of comprimise, I would push the button, but only if it lasted for half of eternity.
Who the fuck made this button?
my problem with all thought experiments, this scenario as you made is never gonna happen and that fucking matters because that means it’s a false dichotomy, we never have the foresight necessary for perfect decision so let’s concentrate on that, on who we are, rather than imagine ourselves as gods looking from the mountain tops
Imagine a button on it is written in bold red, but surprisingly friendly letters, “Communism”, when you press it nothing happens but you feel better for having done your part.
There is also a : :gui-better: and a mass of people outside, but to bring in communism you would have to talk mean to capitalists, it is a lot of work and you might feel exhausted.
Which button do you press?
Somewhere between “modern imperialism” and “magic Omelas button” there is apparently a point where these people can be flipped.
