PLANETARY STATUS REPORT!

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:

1. lying and cheating
2. stealing/looting
3. fighting
4. arson
5. killing

figure it out

THERE ARE TWO TYPES:

1. Responders: react quickly with limited information
2. 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.
