Doubt it. I think you’d ask for help, shelter, contact emergency, avoid exposure, ask for food. You all think about some hypothetical infinity negatives and no benefits like there’s some kinda false dichotomy.
I think you either are lying to yourself or lying to the public.
I think you’ve made up a completely different situation. I’m not in the forest because I’d been lost for 3 days. If that happened, I wouldn’t be asking anyone for anything because I’d be dead already.
If I’m in a context where I expect to be away from any people and there’s suddenly a person, that’s going to raise some questions. Same if I’m in a context where I expect to be away from any bears and there’s suddenly a bear.
hypothetical infinity negatives
Unfortunately, assault and rape are not hypothetical. Downplaying it like that does not lend your argument any credibility.
Yeah those are possibilities. So is being injured by a bear. So is being eaten alive. So is a meteor striking you. Or a guy knifing you when you walked by. Obviously statistical likelihood shapes the amplitude of fear response. The vast majority of men aren’t rapists. And the vast majority of people have no problem passing countless masses of invisible men everyday. And the vast majority of people would run from a bear. Pretending otherwise is just nonsense that doesn’t lend your premise any credibility. All this hypothetical situation illustrates is that people are irrational with their fears and lie about them. Either to others or to themselves.
You think someone SAYING they’d choose the bear would actually choose the bear? Really? If someone actually would do that, I wouldn’t really care about any opinions they had about anything because it sounds like they lack basic survival instincts.
You say I am downplaying rape? I can easily mirror that argument into well, rape vs being eaten alive… Are you arguing that rape and assault victims would be better off dead? A human is much more likely to help you than hurt you, whereas a bear has a nearly zero likelihood of helping you, with the exception of Wojtek, the greatest of all bears.
In the wilderness where there’s nobody else around for kilometers? Absolutely I would be more concerned about a random human.
In crowded places in a city, yeah, a bear is more of an issue, since it isn’t constrained by the need to appear civil.

You must be really good at growing wheat with this many strawmen
Ah yes. Everything that you disagree with is a straw man.
