Extreme Choices

Well, that's an impossible thing to happen for there are always many ways to do things and more than just 2 choices as well.

I'm just asking you to imagine being in this situation as if it were real. Could you make the choice and if so what would it be?

Hmmmm.....I'll get my mare bred again because mare's milk is very nutritious and their milk can even be used to make a fermented beverage because of the high natural sugar content. She's a Morgan and they produce a prodigious amount of milk.

Actually there are many times I do not take part in discussions because they are just "hypothetical" to see what people would say or do in certain unreasonable and outlandish situations. To brain storm with ideas that can be useful and practical are things I enjoy using my minds ability to do, not waste it with utter nonsense and trivial pursuits.

If you are given a choice of two things and made to choose one of the two you would be willing to give up for the rest of your life, would you be able to do it on the pain of death if you didn't? So basically choose or die. You might be asking yourself what choice would be bad enough that only being put to death could force you to make that choice.

If we were to go way back to primitive humans, what do you think came first, cooked food or clothing? Could you give one of those up for the rest of your life or would you choose to die? If your answer is you could give one of those up to continue living. Which would it be?

1. If you give up cooked food, it would mean no cooking, baking or any kind of heat processing of any food that you will be eating for the rest of your life.

2. If you choose to give up clothing, you will have to live the rest of your life as a complete nudest 100% of the time.

3. Failure to make this choice or failure to live by your choice at any future time will result in a quick painless death.

4. Also assume that every other human on the planet has to make this same choice, but none will know what the others are choosing until they have made a choice.

I'll choose the quick and painless death.

famous last words..
unreasonable and outlandish are in the eye of the beholder, and God has a sense of humor..IOW he will put one of those unreasonable/outlandish situation into your life if you don't think about it..(IMO)

To brain storm with ideas that can be useful and practical are things I enjoy using my minds ability to do, not waste it with utter nonsense and trivial pursuits.

Can I choose that for everyone else too?

NO you can't. But I will elaborate a bit about my intent. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that most of us that have access to a TV have seen movies where the main character has had to make some very extreme choices.

Many of us watching these movies are able to imagine ourselves being in the same position as the main character and wondering if we could make the same choice as the main character. Some of those choices are very heroic and life threatening. While the choices I presented are not life threatening in themselves, they are very life changing. For me personally if I was still in my 20's my answer might be different than it is today, but I am somewhat more inflexible now than I was 40 years ago. I am not willing to give up my clothes or cooked food in order to go on living.
