Would you drive to the bank right now if they were willing to give you a million dollars?


[/ QUOTE ]

Yes

[ QUOTE ]
Would you do it for $1,000?

Of course.

$100?

Almost certainly.

$10?

Probably not.


[/ QUOTE ]

Probably all true, I see the risks as no bigger than the negligable risks I am forced to take daily. I already admitted that I take unnecessary risks all the time.

[ QUOTE ]
At what point does the risk of death, however small, become the deciding factor?


[/ QUOTE ]

When a risk is significantly higher than the small risks you are forced to take in order to increase happiness and life expectancy, like cutting your sandwiches into triangles or having a bath, making love etc.

[ QUOTE ]
The point here is - a very remote risk of death is worth very little. If life had infinite dollar value, you would never take these risks, no matter how remote the risks were.

We went over this we need some amount of money to survive so taking the risks makes sense, infinite is a poor choice of words though, but the value to the individual in question is almost so high it doesn't matter.
