If i choose the 5 others then i have a higher probability of being a bridge to have more significant contributions done to society.
And i'm a member of society so its all beneficial to only me.
I don't have any illness,i can simply look at things in such a way that nobody else can.(Apparently)
You're deviating the discussion - they haven't admitted defeat
Yeah, look, I totally agree on the whom to sacrifice part. But according to you, you can't make that choice - you said yourself that every life matters just as much, no matter what.
Here, let me show you:
A.
Society determines the value of a persons life by evaluating the positive qualities a person have and the negative qualities a person have.
More positive qualities and least negative qualities means more value to someone's life.
Anyway,my point is i think everyone's life is equally important when you look at it logically.
VS
B.
Also,its impossible to determine the future of an individual unless i know them very well so 1(or more) of the 5 persons may contribute something significant to society whereas i know my mother very well and i'm positive she won't contribute anything significant to society.
That's my reasoning.
See how A contradicts B?
Why can't you do what you did right there and tell me why i'm wrong about thinking why theism and atheism is senseless?
I'd be more than willing to correct my mistake if you point it out like that rather simply saying that my reasoning is wrong.
I feel bad about arguing with you though because you're very understanding with me.
But with you i feel like i'm no longer arguing but rather discussing.
