This has nothing to do with survival of the fittest. Just consider yourself "lucky" you got the option to chose instead of the other guy.

Everything has context, OP is meaningless.

People jump on grenades to save their comrades. People clearly value others, or their honor, or their duty, or their family, etc. more than their own life in many cases. Without knowing why this choice is made, the consequences of this choice, who it affects, etc., it is pure written masturbation -- no, at least masturbation has a point/purpose, this discussion doesn't.

Without knowing anything about the other person you get a choice to either end their life or your own. What do you do?
If you are going to elaborate further on why this post is pointless just envision a situation where there is a simple choice between your life and another persons.
Just like that.

End the life of whoever is forcing this choice on you.

And if you want to bring up a scenario where one must die (like a single parachute), then again context matters more than the question. Like I said, people jump on grenades to save their comrades and die as heroes. If people know your sacrifice, that matters in the equation. If it serves a greater good , that matters. If it's my son and me and one parachute, its a no-brainer. If its.... etc. Really, if its two guys one parachute and nothing else, flipping a coin is as good an answer as any. You have to live with yourself. But if the other guy can do more good than you and you admire him, or is an *******, obviously that might matter. This question is so situtaional that a simple "him" or "me" is meaningless...

Hehe, you have no other option. One of you is going to die. You decide. There is no good ending here buddy.

This is what Hashi wrote. "I could not kill an innocent person to prolong my life."

Perhaps this thread will be worth something to you now.

I'll keep it in mind if ever locked in a room with Hashi and someone forces us to kill each other.

lol. Why are you so reluctant to answer? If you sense that it is impossible to answer such a question at the time being that is understandable and in some cases more correct then a yes or no answer.
I fail to see why this is pointless to you.

Ps nothing to keep in mind. You will live.

Thought about it for a while, and I'm very surprised that I'd kill myself very very often.

It depends at least on three factors

1. context, the story behind it
2. if there is no context, like a simple and unavoidable choice put on me by a higher power, then I'll have to think about the value of my existence vs. the value of the existence of the other guy.
3. sometimes, even if I think that my life is more valuable, I'd still kill myself very often, because I couldn't live with myself knowing that I live because someone else is dead as a result of my selfishness. So, when I know that after killing the other guy, the value of my life would drop below the value of his life, I'd have to kill myself.

this is weak. once the other person grabs the gun they better not hesitate.

Probably because it's a bull**** question. With no context the question is pointless. The answer for most people is going to be "I'd kill the guy, unless..." and the only interesting part of the question is the unless, which you've failed to include in the OP.
