If we changed the condition to 10 seconds (instead of 5 years) would that make you chose dementia, for sure?
I think so. I’m not certain why.
But how did you come to that conclusion, that it is morally to chose dementia (happiness) and how come you deem it morally to care about others happiness?
It’s better because I’m happier. It might be somewhat bad for Present!me (who feels bad making that decision), but I assume Future!me’s happiness will make up for that.
and how come you deem it morally to care about others happiness?
There’s nothing moral about caring about others’ happiness. It’s their happiness itself that is moral. Happiness is good.
