Wow.. this is an interesting question. Thanos tried to kill 50% of the population and the whole world is already against him. What will happen to me if I try to kill 99%? Haha..
Anyway, I think the key thing here is that I somehow know that killing off 99% will result in a great future. On the flip side, if I do not do so, I know humankind will cease to exist. Hence, the choice is really between saving 1% of people or leave all to die.
I will do it under the following conditions,
- I get to let the 99% who perish die an easy death
- The choice of the 99% must be random. This is to ensure everything is fair.
- I must be part of the 99% who die because I can live with the burden
Thank you for your answer
