One night, you go to sleep in the comfort of your own bed. The next morning, you wake up in an empty room with concrete walls cold to the touch, no windows or doors, and three stools and a small oak table in the center of the room. On two of the stools are two other confused average people, and on the table is a cartridge not too unlike a daytime cold medicine tablet box. On the front is a brand name and slogan: Innovay, you didn't sign up for this! On the back is a set of instructions:
In this box are three tablets, one blue, one yellow, and one completely transparent. In order to leave this room, each of you must choose a tablet for your own consumption. Once you have swallowed the tablet, you will pass out and then find yourself awake in your own bed.
The color of tablet that you will consume determines its effect. For example, taking the blue tablet will strip you of your ability to feel any emotion other than sadness. Similarly, taking the yellow tablet will strip you of your ability to feel any emotion other than happiness. However, taking the transparent tablet strips away your ability to feel any emotion whatsoever. In order for the pill to take effect, its consumption must have reasonable intention. Choose wisely, and choose fast. Starvation is a *****.
How do you decide who gets which pill, and why?
