The 10% stacks additively, each time you do the deal, this status is applied to a different 10%. If you sacrifice 10 fingers, the entire world is guaranteed basic human needs (food, water, shelter, clothing, healthcate, etc…)
Nobody knows you saved them. Would you do it?
If everyone knows about the fact that you can do this deal, would that change your mind?
I would need more specificity around “basic human needs”. It could be that only 1-30% of the world’s population don’t currently meet that threshold, so sure, easy call to lop off pinky thru middle finger on my non-dominant hand to help them. I mean, ask “would you cut off your pinky finger to stop the genocide in Gaza?” and that would be a hard, fast yes and that’s way less than 10% of the world affected.
If we’re talking past basic survival to full universal healthcare and universal basic income… I’d consider all ten fingers with more details. I’m super sus of any monkey paw curls, so I want to understand the ins and outs before I say all ten fingers.
