The totally hypothetical button thought experiment
[blue]\
If you could push a button that gives you a hundred thousand dollars but a random person dies, would you do it? \
\
[yellow, cautious]\
Interesting thought experiment… intuitively, I'd say no, but it's worth thinking about… it's a genuine moral dilemma in a capitalist world: there's a dialectic between our desires and the common good…\
\
MEANWHILE, BILLIONAIRES\
