I dunno man. To be honest with you, this whole concept just feels so above me I don't know how to even begin thinking about it.

That's part of the problem - that an engineering problem can be lifted to a philosophical issue. It doesn't really make sense. It's like paying your Uber driver more to kill others instead of sacrificing yourself. Theoretically that might be possible but the real world doesn't work that way.
