Are you willing to sacrifice your own life for the lives of ten people you dispise? Logically, it doesnt matter whether you dispise them or not. The survival of the multitudes is more important than the individual.
I am no "Mr. Spock" atheist, as I like to call them. The ones who rail on and on about logic. Yeah, until they have to pay the price. Then suddenly logic is ignored.
I meant to convey that it was my understanding of the answer by the rich, apologies for the very misleading unintentional omission.
But I also agree with all of this. Every person has their own value of ten strangers... my value of that is relatively low, though I try to be auspicious towards them usually.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
