Me get in lifeboat

I don't get in the lifeboat. I need to go get the heart of the ocean from rose first so I can be rich as fuck then get in the boat after

Save others first. Because saving yourself first is kinda selfish and I'd rather not have other peoples' lives on my conscience for the rest of my life.

I don't have any obligations or responsibilities to anyone, so if I'm being utilitarian I'd probably rather let someone else go.
---

I dismantle the lifeboat for supplies and repair the hole in the boat saving everyone

That becomes circular though because unless they're all children, why are you sacrificing yourself for the selfish people who let you let them take your place?

Depends. Do I have close friends/family on the ship? Because if it's just strangers, then screw them. I didn't sign up for a suicide mission.

I guess I could make an exception for certain shitty assholes that I don't particularly care for.
They can save themselves.

Strangers can go fuck themselves.

People I know are judged on a case-by-case basis. There are absolutely people I would be willing to sacrifice myself for, but I also know people who I would gleefully fling into the icy cold waters myself.

I think I'd be able to sacrifice myself for them, but that's easy to say being so far removed from the situation.

If everyone thought that way, everyone would die. My wanting to save myself isn't any more selfish than other people wanting to save themselves.

Current ships have more than enough lifeboats for everyone. So I get in.
If it was a Titanic like situation.. I'd get in too. I have a wife and a kid. But I'd let women and children go first.

G) Sacrifice one or more of the others depending on who would rag everyone else down. Get on the lifeboat with other people as long as there is room. See? No need to discount myself, nor hog the whole boat for my own. You know who can be first to stay behind? That one guy that suggested it be me versus everyone else; fuck that guy.

I'd just get on it. Anyone who tells you to get off so someone else can get on, can sacrifice themselves. Also, the last way I want to die is drowning. Like, nope. Sorry. I'd rather shoot myself in the head.
---

i'd save others first but i'll be damned if i'm going down too. drowning is one of my bigger fears. unless there was only enough to save all the children, then I guess i'll face my fears
