Bill,

Consider the following situation:

You visit a city called New New York. It has two types of humans, blue
and green. When in one of the city's skyscrapers, you wait for an
elevator to take you to a higher floor. Two elevators going up arrive
simultaneously, one with three blue men and one with three green men.
Goverment statistics show that under these circumstance, the probability
that you will be mugged by the blue men, if you chose their elevator, is
1 in one hundred, and the probability that you will be mugged by the
green men, if you chose their elevator is 1 in 3.

Having a moderate sense of self, you have a desire that your self not be
hurt. Should you succumb to your moderate attachment to life and
well-being, and judge the elevator with the blue men to be preferable to
the one with the green men, or would you assert that such a choice is
meaningless?

--ED
