When humans think, God laughs.

The so-called philosopher’s end of the world is an unanswered game from the beginning: if you can choose to save 5 people tied to the train tracks, but the condition is to push another fat man onto the tracks, would you do that? Woolen cloth?

Logically speaking, the answer seemed obvious, so the question came right away. So next time, will you sacrifice 50 people to save 5,000 people, and will you sacrifice 500 people to save 50,000 people?

What is the value of human existence? Who decides our right to exist?
If some people are destined to be sacrificed, will you choose to kill the engineers, scientists, and social elites who are more useful to society; or choose the worthless hotel attendants, migrant workers, or unemployed poets?

If the significance of a person's existence as an individual is only judged by his contribution to the collective, then it is logical that for the collective, the smaller the contribution, the less the value of existence.

If this value of existence continues to extend, once it is bound to the larger framework of "state" or "society", then it will surely appear to sacrifice "a handful of people" for the benefit of the "overwhelming majority". The situation of the interests of the individual. Therefore, the only things that can determine our life and death are cold numbers and ruthless logic.

Therefore, if you give a philosopher the right of human survival at the end of the world, then he must give priority to shooting poets.

The person with the highest wisdom is often the stupidest person, as you can see through history.

However, apart from the identities given to us by society such as "scientists, politicians, doctors, and lawyers," do we humans exist independently of a higher category and more otherworldly "human brilliance"?

Our identity may also be a mother, a boyfriend, a gay, a poker master, or a beautiful voice, or even a boring poet, but each of us is unique. , The only one, bestowed by God. Our love and hatred will not override the level of social status, and the beauty and ugliness of our soul will not be swayed by the ranks of social work. Therefore, no one has the right, even if it is just an excuse to save the world, and sacrifice even if it is just one person!
