In all honesty, I suspect that even if the other 2 people were equally impactful EAs, I probably wouldn't emotionally be able to bring myself to do it, even though it would be the right thing to do

I miss-clicked.

@singer Would you have chosen yes, or you weren’t planning to answer the question?

@zyc I would have chosen either Yes or not to vote.

Depends on the lives I'm saving. If random across world population, no.

@Enlil As a survey - would you say you identify yourself as EA?

@zyc Yes. However, I also don't think all lives are worth the same

@Enlil which ones are worth more and less?

@TheAllMemeingEye Easy example: Putin's life or the Ayatollah's life have negative value. My own life is easily worth less than that of the average Nobel price laureate.

@Enlil ah, it may seem so at first, but are we sure the counterfactual in their place if they didn't exist would actually be better?

In seriousness though, thanks for clarifying, for a moment I thought you meant you believed some people were worth less as in their suffering didn't matter, not that they had negative impacts on others

@TheAllMemeingEye The counterfactual is hard, but I also don't want to use it as a excuse for indecision. People of course also have different positive impacts.
