If you go around pressing buttons that kill huge amounts of people, you are a psychopath. One way to look at this problem is to say that it’s one’s actions that determine whether one is a psychopath in the first place. Pressing the button makes you a psychopath It seems to me there are two ways to analyze this situation. Given all this, should you press the button? Furthermore, you believe only a psychopath would press the button. What should you do?īefore we proceed, let’s assume the following: you believe the button does what it says, you believe killing all psychopaths is a generally a good thing, but you do prefer living in a World with psychopaths to being dead. On the other hand, you’re pretty sure only a psychopath would press the button, and you really don’t want to die - even if it means living in a World with psychopaths.
One the one hand, you believe the World would be a better place without psychopaths. You take some time to contemplate whether to press the button. To your surprise, there’s a big red button inside with the label “Kill all psychopaths”. You open the door and find there’s nobody there however, there is a mysterious box on your porch.
You’re sitting at your couch watching Netflix, when suddenly, the doorbell rings.
