    Imagine you are on a sinking raft with a pregnant woman and some old man. Who would you throw out of the raft to stay afloat?

    I guess you would choose a pregnant woman because the girl looks like Marilyn Monore and what's MORE IMPORTANT rescuing a baby is a priority. The old man is 70 years old, so there would be no harm for the humanity if he was dead. Probably he's already terminally ill because he likes smoking cigarettes and f---ing with b------s without a condom, so who cares about this old prick.

    But...

    Let's complicate this situation a little bit. Let's suppose that you found out somehow there are a 50% of chances that the baby's name will be Adolf Hitler... Who would you throw out of the raft in this case?

    Still the old man, I mean the guy is gonna die anyways, h--- the Ol man might even volunteer to sacrifice himself to save me and the pregnant woman. And I know its a 50/50 chance but I like to think that the universe isn't cruel enough to the point where a man sacrifices himself to save 3 people (including baby) and the baby turns out to be the guy who kills 6 million jews

    Gonna have to throw the old man out. Unless sacrificing myself is an option, No? Then the old man. But I imagone he would be all it has to be me, She's with child, and whatnot.

    Old man. And then you hope that woman raises the child up to be a hero like yourself. :brent:

    Your destiny is to throw someone out of the raft, so no, you can't sacrifice yourself. Have you considered that the kid may k--- millions of people when he grows up? Isn't it worse than killing a pregnant woman? I'd like to hear your reasoning.

    Old man. There's 50% chance that the kid might not k--- a lot of people. Also the kid may be called Adolf Hitler, but it may not be the same Adolf Hitler we thinking about :emoji_smirk:

    It would be a very selfish move, but I completely understand it.

    Throw them both out.

    An old man and pregnant lady both require a lot of work to take care of

    I make my own destiny.
    But I would throw the old man out because he's already on the verge of dying, and 50% is still decent odds.

    I thought you were implying that the old man is Adolf Hitler. That would be one h--- of a plot twist!
