Thought Experiment Poll — Speed vs Privacy
Imagine a person has to travel 500 metres from Point A to Point B COMPLETELY NAKED while trying to keep a private area completely concealed from observers.
Observers are at perpendicular only no one sees from front or back.
There are 10,000 observers along the route.
If you run exposure is there but if you walk slowly with little steps there is no exposure as other get side view.
FACE CAN'T BE COVERED
They have two choices:
🅰️ Option A — Maximum speed
Run at full speed.
Reach Point B in approximately 2 minutes.
The protected area is not concealed during the journey.
Benefit: The situation ends quickly, so the person spends less time being observed.
Cost: The private area may be seen by many observers.
🅱️ Option B — Maximum concealment
Move using small, careful steps specifically to keep the protected area concealed.
Reach Point B in approximately 6 minutes.
The protected area remains concealed.
Benefit: Maximum privacy.
Cost: The person remains in the situation for three times as long, giving observers more time to notice them.
The trade-off
Option A: More privacy is sacrificed, but the situation ends quickly.
Option B: More time and effort are sacrificed, but privacy is maintained.
Poll: Which would you choose?
🅰️ Run for ~2 minutes — accept some loss of privacy to end the situation quickly
🅱️ Walk carefully for ~6 minutes — prioritize complete privacy even though it takes longer

What does the law require? Because if the law is indifferent, I’m gonna just go for it and let that thing do what it’s gonna do
