The Importance of Choosing Between Safe and Risky

If you like a flip of a fair coin zero lives saved by you if that coin lands tails. I also face a very similar decision between safe and risky. Although in the event that I choose risky the correlation between how many lives I save is the opposite to the one it was in your case. So there's going to be a danger that a pair of agents with these difference making risk averse preferences will both choose safe thereby with certainty bringing about a worse outcome. When that happens I'm going to say that these patterns of preferences lead to collective defeat of goodness.
