Default Re: A further poll about prejudice and discrimination

Ugh

I remember being in a 2nd yr phil class once when we were taught about prisoners dilemma. We were presented the dilemma initially as a 'what would you do' kind of decision, and this one guy in the class kept saying things like

"easy, I'd never commit a crime or get caught to be in that situation in the first place"

as if that was somehow an ingenius way of circumventing the hypothetical, when it was really just missing the point of what the hypothetical was trying to demonstrate.

You aren't that guy, are you?
