khunsanuk Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi, "that $10m could randomly kill somebody you don't want to die." Pretty good odds that it won't though. Would I push the button? I share chelseafan's sentiments. Hope I would be able to resist temptation, but not sure. Knowing in what country the person is that would die would make a big difference (mainly to determine if I have a chance of knowing this person or not). Sanuk!

shygye Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Another approach is you press the button, but are certain these "people" would not kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonjon058 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'd ask if I am only allowed to press the button once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samak Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 whether professional or amateur! anybody who would push the button is a potential killer! just depends on the money offered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi, "anybody who would push the button is a potential killer! just depends on the money offered! " Yes, and no. I think that it is a lot easier to rationalize to oneself in the above scenario than shooting someone point blank range. You could even delude yourself that nobody really died; after all, you don't see the consequences. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drogon Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I would push the button, by the way, during my sociology courses it was revealed that with similar experiences 9 people out of 10 would push the button. Not necessarily out of greed but for some, out of morbid curiosity/cruelty too. For men, a we all passed a test and it came out that 75% of the male students would rape "their ideal woman" given the "right" conditions. Says a lot about human nature/behavior. Why not push the button when many people get killed for far less than this amount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
