    What I’m doing is of no concern to the scenario.

    Again, in this scenario, you will be eating one of the shit sandwiches, no matter what you do, no matter how you try to bargain, plead, yell, cry, go to protest after you’re done, successfully enact change to the system afterwards, eventually bring about a global utopia - you are in the small room and will be forcefed one of the sandwiches.

            So you refuse to choose. That’s okay, you have been informed that, in that case, you will be forcefed the shit sandwich drenched in vomit. Enjoy and do be sure to complain to management afterwards.

              Good thing I don’t live in shit sandwich and puke-tart land, I suppose.

              Maybe you should take up arms and tell your leaders what the new options are, I know I would rather die than be force fed a shit puke sandwich.

              I guess you’re just passive cattle, though.

                I know you don’t live in such a country, you’ve mentioned it. I’m asking you to imagine yourself as if you were in the scenario I described. Don’t worry, nobody is planning to really put you in that room, that would be cruel. You’re simply supposed to think about, inside your mind, what you would do IF you were put into that room. That’s called using your imagination. Imagine you were a person in that situation. It’s really easy to do if you try just a bit, I’m sure you can do it.

                Or is it too scary to put yourself in another person’s place? Is it causing you distress? If so, please tell me and we’re going to stop the experiment.

                  I’ve answered your question about a half a dozen times now.

                  you should take up arms and tell your leaders what the new options are

                    See, I don’t think you understand the scenario. Those aren’t options. I’m wrecking my brain trying to see what seems to be confusing you into thinking there are more than two options in this hypothetical, imaginary scenario. There are no weapons in that room and there is nobody to speak to since the machine only understands “shit sandwich” and “shit sandwich drenched in vomit”. Later, when the scenario is done, you are free to do whatever. But in this imaginary situation, there is no way around choosing between your two choices or having the choice be made for you.
