An update to my "philosophy collection"!

Okay, I thought "all options are bad, therefore no action" was your stance. Now it looks more like "all options are bad, therefore I choose at whim".

And to answer Pikachu's question: I didn't expect anyone to bring up the Collatz conjecture on this wikia, haha! As long as you flip the switch over nine thousand times, you have a very good chance of ending up with either 1, 2 or 4 people. Whether that is the best answer depends on your philosophy, of course.
