There is a philosophical question that has recently kept me awake.
"If you could press a button that would give you everything you've ever wanted—but someone you’ve never met would die—would you press it?"
Consider this, the person in question COULD be a terrible person.
Their termination could save lives.
But even if it didn't, consider the butterfly effect.
Chances are you have done something that started a chain reaction that eventually lead to someone's death.
Should we be held morally culpable for such things?
Perhaps this is a bad example.
Afterall the question postulates a deliberate and knowing act.
Perhaps the death of a stranger is not a price worth paying for having everything you ever want.
Wouldn't one of those things to live a life without guilt?
What say you philosophers and ethicists?
Would you press the button?
🤔

Yes, Space Jam 2 raised a lot of interesting philosophical questions.

This is actually a very interesting spin on the question.
What if the thing you want is for someone else to die?
Would some stranger dying alongside the person you want dead really be any kind of deterrent.
What if what you want is a fate even worse than death for the whole human race?
In that scenario the person you kill is actually being done a favour and the whole question is flipped on it's head.
That said, I think we have to assume the role of traditional mortality for this question to really work.

I will keep pushing that button until Fugazi dies.
