An odd question that came to my mind.
#5
RE: An odd question that came to my mind.
What's my motivation? Is this just a door I'm happening across with a sign that describes it as you have?

Or like on 'Let's make a deal' do you hand me $500 and then ask if I want to keep the $500 or trade for whats behind the door?

Is it 'keep your life as is' or trade for what's behind the door? I'd have to evaluate where I considered my life to be on a scale of 1-10. If I believed I was living a life equal to a 8, I'd say no because I would think my chances of an improvement is only 2 out of 10. Only a 20% chance of improvement and a 70% chance it would be worse. (10% it would remain the same).
If I thought I had a life that rated a 3, then ya, I'd go thru the door with a 60% chance of increasing my lot in life.

I do suk at maths so if I totally screwed up the percentages I'm sure one of our resident mathematicians with sort it out for me.

I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
