If I were made of billions of independently movable conscious entities, I would send some of them to the garage and some of them to the neighbors while the mass stayed to save the kids.


Yeah but you are one person. Each of us has to make the decision. That's the root of all sorts of effects, like mob psychology or flash mobs or civilization.

As a billionaire? Hmm. It largely depends on where I end up on the zeppelin while extremely drunk.
