      Both books do sort of come to the same conclusion though, if I recall correctly The wicked often prosper while the virtuous suffer, often at the expense of those good people What I find is a helpful lens is taking others as almost exogenous and restrict consideration to oneself

      What I keep falling back to is: do I want to go to sleep at night as a person who wouldn't help a stranger change their tire It's not really about some material expected value (although I think in spite of it all that's still positive) Just, you know Who do I want to Be

      If you’re married and you have kids and you have a job do you want to be The Person Who Didn’t Risk Ruining Several People's Lives Including Your Own or do you want to be The Person Who Changed A Stranger's Tire?

      Preface: Humans are very bad at assessing risk. Caveat: Humans are (usually) highly loss-averse. Observation: Most people are not vile scum who would ruin the life of someone who helped them and did them no wrong.

      Assertion: Seldom in modern history has there been such a general environment so conducive to empowering the few people who are the aforementioned type of vile scum.

      Hypothesis: It is less and less difficult to morally defend the notion that regardless of the Preface and despite the Caveat, the potential risk of stranger-helping is large enough that a person with a lot to lose should strongly consider not doing it.

      Corollary: If your cell phone works you can call the cops and tell them you saw a breakdown but couldn’t stop to help. Postscript: if it doesn’t you should still alert the authorities as soon as you can if you believe the person may require assistance.

      Prerebuttal: Ted Kennedy didn’t get to be President, but he lived and died rich and powerful. Summary: Deserve's got nothin' to do with it.

      someone else mentioned prudentia and there is absolutely a conversation to be had about that here too just a first pass at what was immediately salient to me at the gym ^^

      No it's extremely good! I basically am incapable of careful analytic thought once I clock out for the day and I'm grateful for you filling in gaps and correcting

          Careful analytic thought applied to socially sensitive questions is how you end up in a book like “So The Internet Wants You, Your Family, Your Neighbors and Your High-School Math Teacher Dead.”

          But would you want to go to sleep at night as someone who neglected to cultivate this gift?

          Also I wouldn’t dream of correcting you unless it was about something I am an expert in and I know you are not.
