    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.

        I dunno if you’ve realized this but I haven’t really been reading your messages. I don’t care man, enjoy your shit sandwich.

          You seem to care enough to reply. Which does tell me you are at least a bit interested in the scenario. Which is good. It’s important to use your imagination every once in a while and put yourself in other people’s shoes, to train your empathy, even if it might be scary at times. I promise I’ll be by your side if it gets too creepy. Together we can get you out of that room. Your only job is to make that one, simple choice. Really easy. I believe in you.

              It’s fascinating how you seem to not understand that there is no 3rd option in the scenario. You can take up arms or whatever too, sure, but only after you have been fed a sandwich. Inside the scenario, there is no option to do that. There is no way around the fact that you are going to eat a sandwich in the scenario. Whatever else you do does not matter in the scenario because you cannot influence the outcome of the scenario beyond vomit/no vomit. You have all the power of a sapient being to cause whatever change you feel like once you’re outside the room. But you will not leave the room without a choice being made by you or for you. Shit entering your mouth is inevitable in the scenario.

                  Yes, I know. Yet the fact that you keep replying, as I said (and you haven’t read, I know), tells me that you are at least a bit interested in the scenario. Which I love for you and I love for me. It’s nice to be interested in things, just as it’s nice to have someone be interested in your things (my scenario in this case). Are you going to choose a sandwich at some point?
