Extreme & hypothetical scenarios.

I agree with this.

 

My Tulpa doesn't though, we'll fight it out among each other.

I would agree. Without any hesitation.

Esterina would disagree.

For the moment I'll leave it at that since I'm tired at the moment and don't want to type a whole lot.

 

So, ahdunno, I'll post more about why I would so instantly agree if someone ends up wanting to read about it.

Same for Rina and her decision.

Both of us disagree on this. Knowing that people would be dying each week is a pretty bit deterrent, you know, and I don't think that it would matter if they had a large impact on the world or not.

I'm too busy being melancholic of how many dream characters are killed on a nightly basis in my sleep, and when I wake up. I think scenarios like this are a nice crutch for philosophical discussions. Kind of like the trolley problem. I guess a few thought experiments wouldn't hurt, though.

First Scenario:

 

Ultimately what most gave me pause in this question was not the death of another person, it was being forced into an empathic state while viewing the funeral. I'm rather poorly developed emotionally and would be fine with a person dying and even having to see the funeral. The empath bit made me have to think about it.

I'm of the opinion the human race needs a good plague, or something to decrease the population. For 3 years, 1 person a week that's about 156 people, not a lot but it's something. I would be willing to endure the feelings, in fact I would go so far as to think if it as a good thing.

 

Isa has an opinion though, and she's being actually vocal about it, she feels very strongly. I'll try to paraphrase.

I wouldn't let her do it. Those people have families, and it would hurt their feelings. Then Kai would have to feel those feelings, and then I would feel those feelings. I would probably dissipate myself if she said yes.

 

So given the hypothetical, I would probably agree, (and that's the poll option I chose) and it sounds like Isa would commit seppuku, or at least cut herself off from me because of it.

 

Second Scenario

Isa says "I'd disagree"

She is already pretty empathetic and has a soft heart. She's really the good one of the two of us, and wouldn't sacrifice an innocent life to save her own.

UPDATE: It seems I may have voted too quickly. A little after writing this I felt the cogs spinning for Isa. Here's a rough transcription of the thinking, mumbling, and reasoning I got.

But I don't want to die...especially not painfully. Maybe if I can dissociate good enough, I can cut myself off and not have to feel these things. So maybe I can live and still not be hurt.

It's looking like just like anyone else Isa has developed a fear of dying. Her initial reaction was very noble, but I don't think the concept of a painful death had really sunk in. She doesn't know pain yet, nor has death even been a thought until just now.

 

Honestly I'm glad she had second thoughts. I wouldn't want to see her die, especially in pain, for a stranger.

So it looks like I made an error on your poll. I'm sorry. Take one disagree from the option 2 and make it an agree vote. :P

 

We both agree.

roughly 38 people died in the time it took for me to read Op's scenario, and then maybe 56 more in the time that I TL;DR'd all of the responses... so really the deaths in the scenario really don't mean anything. as for the visions, we are all one, and though I feel all their pain, I don't really care because of the sheer volume of it; not just in relation to this, but all the time.

 

so, a few nightmares and I get to have Liz be as real, as something that isn't, can be; seems like a good deal yo.

 

Liz agrees, though she would feel bad about subjecting me to a few dreams that ultimately are not as bad as the nightmares I have every night anyway.

 

and as for the third "creature" in my head ,Shaide, this isn't to far off from the deal we have already with each other; I get to use his power, and in exchange I am blessed and cursed with the ability to see our holographic existence for what it truly is...

 

Ps: none of it is real...we are all one...foxes rule.
