      Yeah im against bloodshed generally as a rule but I bet the altruism would skyrocket.

      Put this into a trolley problem and see the results.

        When that one healthcare CEO got shot the health insurance companies paid out on their promises for like a solid week. How long do you think on Musk would drive “altruism”?

          I mean, there are ~3,500 billionaires in the world.

          So, to drive altruism we need to kill one per week, so that’ll last us some 67 years. Longer if we also qualify everybody over, idk, like a hundred million? Sounds like a glorious epoch of love, compassion and ritual sacrifice.

          I have no idea if theyll get jaded to the concept and it’d lose its effect, or if there’d be a stacking effect.

          More research needed in this area first
