I know they meant "worst" in the sense of "bad at math," but now I'm imagining the world's worst mathematician trying to figure out how to use math to commit ethic cleansing or poison water supplies or make pugs' noses even more fucked up or something.
ethic cleansing
Tbh that doesn't sound too bad? Like maybe take a nice shower but with cruelty free/plant-based soap that wasn't animal tested (and obviously there's no drought concern in this scenario).
Ethic cleansing is when I throw a short fuse grenade into an ethics debate.
That would be 'ethical cleansing'. Ethic cleansing would be to cleanse ethic, meaning you are getting rid of the ethic. That is basically just erasing one's morals. I think that's already being taken care of.
Damn, I'm bad at maths, but am no mathematician...
Most of these hypotheticals are pretty lame. Like... Why would I care if another person got the same amount as me? I would only care if everyone got the same amount because that would cause massive inflation and now my million dollars is worthless.
Even if everyone got the same amount, I would just press the button every week - and now I've YOLO implemented a form of Universal Basic Income.
I'd invent a machine that hits the button 1000 times a second and after a bunch of hours I'd buy Tesla, Amazon, Google and Apple and so on and turn them into companies profitable for humanity.
But first I'd buy some ice-cream.

Everyone's money won't mean much. Welcome to being poor, billionaries.
imagine: you get a dollar but so does elon musk. what would you do?
if everybody presses the button, we end up with a massive wealth inequality problem
and that's actually how companies operate: the employees work for the company (akin to pressing buttons, just more tedious), and for that they get wages, but the company's owners also get money that way. repeat the process and the company's owners end up being massively wealthy, which leads to massive wealth inequality.
is wealth inequality inherently bad? on a global level it seems to benifit most lemmings/redditors/bird brains?
That took me too long to get, I guess I'm the one on the right.
The question isn't if I'd press the button, but how many times can I press it before it breaks.
