The fact that you have to ponder this says something about you as a person

I'll take that as a compliment. Dogma and simplification (scientific and philosophical) is politically dangerous. And the compliment belongs to Socrates, who taught me to ponder.

This isn't dogma and it isn't simplification. It's a simple question about what kind of person you are.

To the extent that you can understand situations and determine outcomes, would you behave differently if the difference between helping or hurting others had no consequenses for you?
