Hypothetical: You have 2 horrific choices........
You have two buttons infront of you-you MUST pick one.
If you press one button, one person will go through every type of possible suffering, for eternity(past the destruction of the universe, the heat death of the universe, the half-life on protons, intra-galactic blackhole etc.....whatever ends matter)-eternity i.e. forever. The twist is that this is some person who you hold dear-but you dont know who.
If you press the other button, half the population of the earth instantly and painlessly cease to exist.
If you press neither button, you yourself get the horrible conseqeunces of the first button done to yourself........
What do you do?
Edit: You cant procrastinate, after 24 hours if you dont decide you get the results of button 1 on yourself.
