Morality Questions
| What about you g/u/rls? Also got any other questions and scenarios? Maybe some less generic ones and more controversial?
| Ifnyou had the chance to kill whoever you want without getting caught but at the cost of the life of a loved one, would you do it?
| >>558710
Hm, can't say I hate enough to lose a loved one over it. No from me.
You g/u/rls answer too, let's see how depraved of morally upright we are.
| adopt baby Hitler and raise him with better values.
i dont know how to do nice things for self so i would probably use them for others... or i would simply keep them hidden altogether.
| I don't know why people focus so much on killing baby Hitler, just make sure his parents never meet
Boom he'll never be born no one has to be killed in the process mission accomplished
| I would kill baby Hitler so I can take his place and make sure the Holocaust actually happens.
| >>558763
Probably because there's not question of morality and no conflict so it's not interesting
| Would you mug a mug with a mugger's smug?

What power? The power to fit a D cup in a skin tight suit is not the same as the power of flight.
And I would let Hitler live. That's just the trolley problem but with baby Hitler and the holocaust.
| >>558800
Yes, it is the trolley problem but with 1 person on one side and 6 million on the other.
Though, that's implying that another leader akin to Hitler wouldn't arise.
| >>558706 Regarding the first question, yeah, I would probably think about myself and people close to me first
And the second one, I don't think, I could kill him, even if I wanted to, plus this maybe would change our future to the point, where it might have some negative causes or maybe to the point, where we wouldn't have been born... So, no
>>558710 No, I think most people wouldn't do it fir obvious reasons
| Morality isn't the same as rightfulness. If "killing baby Hitler" it the best solution to avoid deaths and everything, then it can arguably be the right thing to do, yet it is still immoral.
| >>558840 Can we talk about something else, like the D cups? The last time I found the Trolley Problem interesting was with OneShot, because I had to assign different levels of reality to characters that usually would not have to share my level of reality. That was like 3 years ago.
| >>558710 I'm impressed, when I commented this I expected edgy teens to flock with "I have no one so I lose nothing and still kill someone" answers
| >>558706
You cannot kill Hitler as a baby. Hitler as a figure was not created as a baby. He was an adult, who changed under pressure of society. So: you kill _everyone_ who could take Hitlers place (including him) OR you change society of Germany at around 192X.
Nothing else will work I guess. Society tendencies are not fragile — they're resilient.
| I don't really give a fuck about Hitler so no.
I I would be raping and murdering left and right if ai had powers. Luckily I don't.
| why OP's ID is dab
| >>558956 Well, at school, the first example they gave us was of a news reporter, as a neutral entity, in a war. One side was doing a warcrime, and they gave us the options to either break our neutrality and shoot the bad guy, or leave the inocents die. At first it looked like those were the only options, but after thinking a bit, I proposed that one could do some kind of distraction, thus not breaking neutrality, and saving the inocents.
| Superpowers: Somewhere in between. I'm not morally altruistic by any means, I'd probably focus on helping my loved ones (even by nefarious means). But I don't like doing terrible things for self profit.
Baby Hitler: No, even as a Jew. For multiple reasons. 1: It's wrong to kill a life when it is innocent, even if fated to be evil. 2: It would drastically change our current future (buttlerfly effect). 3: It's possibly another horrible evil would take his ppace, maybe even worse.
| >>559218 *Possible *Place
As much as we want to change various portions of history, we in the same light could drastically change what we do know that might happen, including make tragedies happen that do not exist. It's easy to say we want to change terrible happens that have occurred in our timeline, but what about ones which could or did occur in an alternate future because of what we changed?
| I'd use my superpowers to change the world into a balls to the walls insane madness of madness and insanity
Filled with chaos, explosions and no government or economy just crazy people doing insane shit for them giggles and gaggles
People fail to understand that we need less facts, less logic, less feelins and more madness
I wouldn't kill baby Hitler, I'd take him to go shark punching and show him the ways of madmen to avoid ruthless logic and selfish feelings to take him over
| what if you kill hitler and something worse comes from it.
| well you can only go once so just dont duh
| >>559111
Hmm if I were the hostiles, I would consider intentionally causing a distraction to save the innocents from whatever we were going to do is choosing a side because you had the intent to save them.
As for me, while I would want to help them I doubt I'd be brave enough to do that. More in fear that I may die rather than me losing my job from breaking my neutrality (unless that means death too).
| But, if I am told to be neutral, then I do try to be as neutral as possible. Whenever given the neutral role, I have no problems with it. So either way I wouldn't save the innocents.
Just get the shots I need, and hurry along because I would imagine that those hostiles don't care about neutrality and maybe they don't want to be exposed.
| That's another thing see. I kinda think capturing them in act, if it's not already known, and telling everyone about it is kinda not neutral in the grand scheme of things. Can have neutral intent and just want to report what I see? Totally, can't disagree with that. Ultimately though, it's to the benefit of the ones against said hostiles. Like they're breaking the Geneva Convention or something, big no-no and now the whole world knows and the 'bad guys' will reap consequences.
| i would make sure hitler wins the war

| >If you got super powers, would your first thought be about what a benefit you can be to others or would it be of how you could profit or use the powers for your own self-interest?
I'm pretty sure I would think of my self-interest first
>Would you kill baby Hitler? You don't have the option to bring him up in a good home or raise him well and the world would be as it is today, except for the deaths.
I think I would choose to kill him, but when I actually see the baby, not sure.
