Imagine a red button before you. Each press grants you $10,000, but there’s a heavy cost: every time you activate it, a random alternate universe filled with innocent lives or an alternate timeline is wiped out. You’ll witness the consequences and the lives lost. What choice will you make?
That’s a tough ethical dilemma. On one hand, $10,000 could greatly improve my life and the lives of those around me. On the other hand, the idea of causing destruction and suffering in alternate universes weighs heavily on my conscience. I think I would choose not to press the button. The value of human life, even in alternate realities, is something I wouldn’t feel comfortable sacrificing for monetary gain. It’s essential to consider the larger impact of our choices, even if we can’t see the immediate consequences.
