If you had 1000 clones of yourself, would you sacrifice your own single life to save all of them?

Or would you let them all perish so that you survived. I would sacrifice myself. Between the 100 clones they probably had almost every thought that i would have had in my life, and collectively i would be saving myself in a much bigger way if i sacrificed myself for all of them. What do you think.

Hell no. The 1st edition is the only one that matters. Anyone that collected Pokemon cards knows that.

You all dont seem to get it. What if you were one of the clones? What if you were all friends, and some douchbag valued himself more than 1000 of the rest of you? Think aboot et

but their clones. none is worth more than the other.


I'd save myself, because having 1000x myself would kill any unique or interesting attributes I had.

He'll NO! If I found out I had 1000 clones my first order of business would be to kill all of them before they killed me. Its common knowledge that your clone will stop at nothing to kill you.

You have to think of yourself as a clone to understand. Think of yourself as a single clone and the other clones as feeling that they are "you" just as much as you do. Think of one clone who would rather kill all of you than die himself. You all are close minded.

Imagine that of the thousands of other clones like yourself, plenty of them ski like jesus, plenty are billionares, ones the dalai lama, ones the pope, ones the president, and one humongous toolbag clone would rather kill you all to save hos own miserable life, because he thinks he is special

why would they be those things though? They're all exactly the same as me, and I have no desire to be the president, the dalai lama, the pope, or the president. So simply by being my clone, they wouldn't want to do be any of those either.


They'd actually make it harder for me to do anything because they all have the exact same abilities and qualifications as me.

billionaire maybe though.

Philosophy isnt even relevant. This is a practical argument. From the genetic standpoint its a slam dunk. It is a question of how much a person values himself over whats in his genetic favor

And plenty of people like what i post so why dont you speak for yourself. And post a more interesting thread than this while your at it. You learned something cool in your philosophy class? Why dont you share it

I only care about my own consciousness so I'd kill them all. Of course they would all share the same thoughts as me so they'd catch on that I want to kill them. Each one of my clones would also only care about their own consciousness so they would band together to try and kill me to save themselves. The only way out would be to blend in with all my clones. By then all my clones would realize that the original is amongst them but nobody except me would know who it is. Then we'd engage in an epic clone battle to the death.

pretty sure the question of kill 1000 to save your own life is a moral argument.


I think you're completely lost on the clone thing though.


The real question you should have asked is "would you kill 1000 people who are more successful, more charitable, and overall better than you, to save your own life?"

Its not a moral argument. You can defend both positions with arguments that dont have anything to do with morality and certainly nothing to do with philosophy. But elgato thinks you cant and hes obviously smarter than everybody so...

Of course I'd kill them, I'm a fucking legend, why would I ever kill myself? Hell, I'd kill anyone to save myself, the world would go right down the shitter if I was to die.

Philosophy is for things outside the scope of scientific reasoning, which this isnt. I know youre smarter than me but im just wondering, do you believe in free will? Do you believe we are alive?

Prove it. I'm holding 1000 of your clones hostage in my basement and I have a big ol' drum full of gasoline and a nifty little thing called a lighter that I would love to introduce to them.

this is not a good definition of philosophy. idk why youre so concerned with keeping this question "non-moral" and "non-philosophical" but these two terms can encompass almost everything a human can or should do, i seriously have no clue how to answer such a question without ANY argument or thought that is beyond (or void of) any morality or philosophy.

Hold on... all the clones would have exactly the same skills and thoughts, therefore each clone would theoretically be able to kill the same number of clones as all the others, so every clone would kill one other clone and they would all die.
