step up? to what. advocating my world is superior to all the others just because i happened to originate from it? nothing heroic in that. self serving and selfish, actually. and while i am inherently invested in my own personal continued survival, i'm not qualified to represent billions of strangers. nor should i be.
and no, that's not what i think either. but if there's a limited number of spots, then each universe saved simply means another cannot be. so in the end roughly the same number of people and lifeforms will die, whether i pass or fail any of these tests. and so if my participation has no actual meaningful influence over the outcome of this unnecessarily drawn out and poorly constructed trolley problem, then i have absolutely no obligation to jump through hoops for the sick entertainment of the entity that designed this to fulfill their god complex.
but if it makes YOU feel better, by all means. just don't trick yourself into thinking you're better than me for it just because you're more attached to your home.
