You're telling me that you'd let millions die of cancer because they couldn't afford your super-high prices.

I said I'd distribute it at a dollar.

I'd never heard that cancer-sufferers numbered in the billions.

Re: Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting
About 1/3rd of people are expected to get cancer (assuming they can live long enough to get it). There are more than 7 billion people currently.Fuzzy Necromancer wrote: ↑Tue Oct 30, 2018 2:28 amWell then, that's a horse of a different color.Robovski wrote: ↑Tue Oct 30, 2018 2:25 amI said I'd distribute it at a dollar.

Re: Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting
Pretty damn big world and some very basic back of the envelope math based on a simple statistic that isn't challenging at all. We are already assuming I cure cancer somehow, we are way out on the fringes of improbability from the get go. You act like this is a thing that could happen. I'll spoil it for you now: I'm not curing cancer. I guess that makes me doubly evil because you want to call me evil for your misunderstandings and assumptions because now I am not curing cancer in fantasyland. You do you.Fuzzy Necromancer wrote: ↑Tue Oct 30, 2018 2:35 amThat's a pretty darn big assumption.Robovski wrote: ↑Tue Oct 30, 2018 2:31 amAbout 1/3rd of people are expected to get cancer (assuming they can live long enough to get it).

Re: Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting
No, it's just a big assumption for me because, *waves hand* shit looks pretty horrible and I'm assuming that with the wildfires, hurricanes and everything else, the net life expectancy might take a nose dive.
I don't think you're evil if you charge one dollar for cancer cures. I was confused by your math and wording.

Re: Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting
Where we differ is I'd extort for huge prices, then give afterwards. Give like candy. Sell it to some super corp, and then improve lots of people's lives, as I've said. Everyone I know on here would be getting at least 10,000 dollars. Maybe more, as time passed. All sorts of causes and charities would get money too. And so on and so forth. I'd also make statues commemorating historical events I want people to remember.
