I’ve been discussing with my sister (a big fan of her cats) about what lives we would save in an emergency. I think a human live is worth more than an animal’s no question asked but she thinks otherwhise. So to end this discussion I’m writing here.
- Who would you save between your cat and your worst enemy?
- What if it was between your cat and a stranger?
- Why?
When we really consider who our worst enemies actually the question becomes simpler. Mitch McConnell is the first example that came to mind for me.
Yeah, my worst enemies are all people I consider threats to humanity and/or the planet so a scenario where I passively allowed one of them to die as a side effect of saving my cat is a dream scenario.
Even better would be if saving my cat caused multiple enemies to die.
Oh yeah, if we’re doing politicians this becomes easier. For some reason I was thinking of personal, mutual enemy relationships.
