@VesselOfSpirit Failure to accept extreme implication of "not bad" principle. Deciding in terms of whether they presently want to do good. -
@preinfarction it's not an extreme implication of the principle. it's an implication of an extreme version of the principle -
@preinfarction "what is more important? food or water?" "water i guess." "oh so you value a lifetime of food less than a drop of water?" -
@VesselOfSpirit Hm. When I wrote them, I thought my examples were more like "Would you rather starve or dehydrate to death?" -
@VesselOfSpirit (Which also sound extreme because its references death, but at least it's not using different units for comparison) -
@preinfarction i don't understand; i thought stubbed toes was chosen for being not extreme -
@VesselOfSpirit >"When I wrote them". I agree now that my first example were bad. Still looking for negative phrasing of the original prompt -
@preinfarction so like oblivion vs. eudaimonia on even numbered days and torture on odd numbered days - 2 more replies
