In the last philosophy class before graduation, 20 students were forced to take part in thought experiments. They jumped from the squad to the scene of the nuclear radiation catastrophe. If they fail to compete for a seat in the air-raid shelter, their organs will immediately be penetrated by radiation dust and die of pain. However, there is only enough oxygen and food in the shelter for 10 people to survive for a year. Philosophy students draw lots to determine their identity and skills. In order to continue the lifeblood of mankind, they need to use philosophical logic, consult publicly and raise their hands to vote to select the 10 most valuable characters to live in bomb shelters. Smart people are more qualified to stay lower than good people? The value of engineers is more important than that of poets? If one vote extends one life, who should be sacrificed to achieve society?
