    So if you are given the option to steal $5 from an orphan or allow 10k people to be slaughtered and if you don’t choose it goes to 50% chance on which one happens you choose to make no choice so you don’t have to choose evil?

      I think Geraldo would steal the $5 and call it a stupid analogy because that’s not evil if he gives them $10 first.

      Of course, the funny thing about the quote is that it’s from a game that forces you to choose between evils constantly with not much in the way of creative problem solving beyond making sure you investigate beforehand.
