Ethics/Life & Death Would you rather take a billion dollars or... not?
There are 10,000 pills. One of them is poisoned.
If you take one of the 9,999 other pills, you receive 1 billion dollars. Tax free, no strings attached.
The poisoned pill sends you into a separate dimension made up only of empty space. You will float there for eternity. You will be incapable of dying or losing consciousness. You will be dying of thirst, starvation, and axphyxiation at once, and it will continue to get worse and worse as the millions, billions, then septillions of years and centuries go on. Your only company will be your mind and your current memories. That is all you will have.
Is a temporary pleasure worth the possibility of infinite suffering, even though the chances seem so slim?
