ASSUMPTION: you are in a grid-down scenario. No electricity, no food at the grocery store, no radio or TV signals for 2 weeks and you, and your family, are running out of food. It’s been 4 weeks since the blackout begun which triggered this.
What are your moral thresholds for:
- lying and cheating
- stealing/looting
- fighting
- arson
- killing
figure it out
THERE ARE TWO TYPES:
- Responders: react quickly with limited information
- Ponderers: react slowly with limited information
Ceteris paribus: a responder VS a ponderer wins in any random 1-on-1 conflict. Being willing to ACT always beats inaction, or almost always.
GROUPS OF PEOPLE have ZERO moral threshold issues or compunction about using violence given distributed guilt/responsibility dynamics in the group.
