Topic: So what are you even worth?

Hypothetical scenario.

Killing yourself would would stop all violent crime in your city. Would you do it?
Killing yourself would save your family. Would you do it?
Killing yourself would end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Would you do it?
Killing yourself would end terrorism. Would you do it?
Killing yourself would end world hunger. Would you do it?

What would it take for you to kill yourself?

Your immediate death would benefit the world in some fashion, but you'll receive no recognition for your death's contribution. You will never become famous and only your mother would miss you.

What's the bare minimum that you'd die for? How much is your life worth?

How much is A life worth to you?

I have life insurance, so killing me is worth about 1 million dollars....

Re: So what are you even worth?

I love you.

I would never kill myself to solve other peoples problems, what if it didnt work

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

Hypothetical scenarios tend to be pretty reliable.

Re: So what are you even worth?

it really depends on the specifics, it's not normal for people to sacrifice themselves just so some random dudes don't have to die, why they could all be filthy anarchist scum spitting on everything I stand for... it's perfectly possible that the world would be better off with me living and many other people dying. smile

but if there was like an alien invasion I'd probably feel obliged to go all japanese on the bastards, especially if they're impregnating our women and I get to deliver a cool final one liner

I'd kill myself for a Klondike bar.
