[wincon]

would your answer stay the same if the necessary sacrifice was the person you care for most?

[suibian]

it would change. though the person i care for the most, he would volunteer

[wincon]

both of you are just overflowing with good will, aren't you

[suibian]

i just said i would change my answer if my person was the one i had to sacrifice. how does that make me full of good will?

[wincon]

but that person would sacrifice themselves.
sounds like you make up for each other's shortcomings.

but to be fair, I also said you couldn't obtain their agreement, so I guess your person never has to know.

[suibian]

that'd be a hard secret to live with

[ not that he couldn't. he's done it before. ]

[wincon]

would it be?

[suibian]

for me? yep. i could do it but it would be hard to come back from if the truth ever came out

[wincon]

so your person's the type who would get mad if you wouldn't gank him and harvest his organs, huh

[suibian]

for a noble cause? yeah. he would sacrifice himself immediately to help those less fortunate

though he might not if i begged him not to

[wincon]

what a hero

[suibian]

hey, you're the one who changed the question. i'm just answering it

[wincon]

I didn't say anything about you answering
it's not like there's a right or wrong answer.

[ there's just what he thinks about them! ]

[suibian]

you're not wrong. it's a good thought experiment.

what about you? how would you deal with this situation? kill the child?

[wincon]

me?
I wouldn't do anything

[suibian]

not interested in helping?

[wincon]

no
it's got nothing to do with me

[suibian]

and if the person who'd you have to sacrifice was your most important person?

[wincon]

if I wouldn't do it when the cure's a stranger, why would I do it when it's someone I know?
maybe if it was my worst enemy there'd be something to think about.

[suibian]

so you're indifferent to the unknown, but selfish when it comes to what you cherish. but vindictive when it comes to what you hate.

[wincon]

I guess that's pretty on point

[suibian]

honestly, can't begrudge you for it. i think i'm similar in my own way though i have more of a bleeding heart

[wincon]

is that what you think? even though I wouldn't choose to save anyone.

[suibian]

well, indifference is indifference. i can't force you to care about people you don't have any attachment to. but i'm more prone to it so i can't say i wouldn't be attached instead

but i am similar in that i am very vindictive personally and would absolutely sacrifice my greatest enemy immediately if it helped me or anyone else in some way

[wincon]

I'll give that you're honest about it, compared to most people
