I’ve been re-reading a sci-fi book which has the interesting Existential Risk scenario where most people are going to die. But some may survive.
If you are a person on earth in the book, you have the choice of helping out people and definitely dieing or trying desperately to be one of the ones to survive (even if you personally might not be the best person to help humanity survive).
In that situation I would definitely be in the “helping people better suited for surviving” camp. Following orders because the situation was too complex to keep in one persons head. Danger is fine because you are literally a dead person walking.
It becomes harder when the danger isn’t so clear and present. I’ll think about it a bit more.
