The Dilemma of Choosing Between Boxes
The speaker discusses the dilemma of choosing between one box with a million dollars and another box with a transparent back showing 80% of a life-saving vaccine. The speaker debates whether to take both boxes to maximize utility, especially in a scenario involving a loved one's life. This decision dilemma is compared to the trolley problem, where people may choose differently when a loved one's life is at stake.
