That classic flavor, but with a new twist.
May 5th, 2008 | by Scott Jennings |You know that little thought experiment that’s supposed to tell you how bad a person you are? You know, the one that asks: if you had to choose between giving up a loved one’s life for ten people you’ll never meet on another continent, would you do it? Would you do it for 100 people? 1000 people?
Well, why not take that to the logical extreme: would you give up your loved one’s life for the lives of everyone in the world except the two of you? Now, I don’t think you can dismiss it out of hand, I imagine we’ve all entertained an Omega Man fantasy at some point. Maybe I’m just a hopeless romantic, but living out the rest of my days skipping through deserted streets and breaking into candy stores with someone you care about has its upside, I think.
Ok, so take one small step back from the logical extreme: your loved one’s life, or everyone else in the world except the two of you and one guy who keeps screaming, “THE FUCK YOU DO THAT FOR?”

Two questions before I answer:
1. How loud can he scream and does he have access to some kind of projection/broadcasting device?
2. How viable is travel, for me and my loved one and for this dude?
