00:00A plane bound for Central America crashed in the middle of the jungle.
00:05Among all the passengers on board, only 8 people managed to survive.
00:10The group did not lose time to find food.
00:14However, they had some difficulty finding a source of drinking water.
00:18The only source they found seemed extremely suspicious.
00:23Consuming it was a certain risk, but no one was ready to die of dehydration.
00:29As a result, the group was faced with a difficult decision.
00:34Their salvation depended on the choice of one of them to test the water of the source.
00:39However, if it was contaminated, the chosen person would die in an instant.
00:44The group faced a real dilemma.
00:47Who should they sacrifice?
00:53They gathered around a fire and each had the opportunity to talk a little about himself.
00:57The first person was Peter, a 37-year-old magician.
01:02He was a dynamic man who had traveled around the world as a successful prestidigitator.
01:08He said he could use his talents to preserve the group's morale.
01:13The second person was Max, a 28-year-old programmer.
01:17Before the accident, he was busy developing software that could change the world.
01:22However, the survivors did not have a very good opinion of him, because he was a bit pretentious.
01:27But he assured that his skills would be necessary for society.
01:31Because the secret project he was working on could save millions of people.
01:37Then there was Jules, a well-known and renowned doctor.
01:41Jules had been a volunteer in many organizations and had saved countless lives.
01:47He said that if the group wanted to have the slightest chance of survival, it would be better to spare it.
01:57Then, Marina, a 52-year-old cook, told her story.
02:02She said that she had just divorced and was starting to rebuild her life.
02:08Until then, she had been a homeless woman with no purpose in life.
02:12But after her divorce, she decided to pursue her dreams and enrolled in a famous cooking school.
02:19She declared that she could prepare delicious meals for everyone, even with so few resources.
02:26Although Marie was wearing luxury clothes, she said she was fully committed to a greener planet.
02:32She was a 22-year-old girl, just out of university.
02:36She was on her way to Costa Rica for a spiritual retreat when the plane crashed.
02:41She said she was an expert in non-violent communication and could help the group to maintain its cohesion in these difficult times.
02:49Sean was nervous when he started talking.
02:52He was a former detainee and he feared that the group would turn against him as soon as he told his story.
02:58However, he was sincere when he said he had learned from his past mistakes and has been committed to making the world a better place since.
03:10Then, Daniel, a famous 30-year-old athlete, spoke.
03:15Despite his young age, Daniel had already won several medals.
03:20He was in good shape and could help the group to overcome these difficult conditions by building shelters or even protecting them from wild animals.
03:30The last member of the group was Tom, a 15-year-old boy.
03:34Unfortunately, he had lost his parents during the plane crash and found himself alone.
03:39He had no particular talent to help the group.
03:43Jules, being the oldest person in the group, chose to preside over the assembly.
03:48He asked everyone to answer the question,
03:50Why shouldn't you be sacrificed?
03:56The first person to speak was Peter, the magician.
03:59He exclaimed,
04:00I make people laugh and amaze them with my magic.
04:03Through me, enchantment continues to live.
04:06I can't be sacrificed.
04:09Then Max, the programmer, said,
04:11My secret project will change the world.
04:14You really have no idea of the revolutionary concept I work on.
04:18If you sacrifice me, you will regret it bitterly.
04:23Dr. Jules said,
04:24I am quite old and I have lived a long life.
04:27But I am one of the few people here who knows how to save lives.
04:31What will you do if you sacrifice me?
04:35Marina, the cook, replied,
04:37I have just found meaning in my life after my divorce.
04:40I have so many things to accomplish in this world.
04:43There are so many opportunities waiting for me.
04:47Marie, the extravagant girl, shouted,
04:50I also have my whole life ahead of me.
04:52I have just finished my studies.
04:54Who knows, I could become a huge spiritual guru and change the world.
04:58You will regret it if you get rid of me.
05:02Sean, the judge, said,
05:04I will understand if you choose me to drink this water.
05:07I just want to say that I am a changed man.
05:10And that I will do everything in my power
05:12to buy myself back from society if I get out of here alive.
05:15I could be an inspiration for many people.
05:19Daniel, the athlete, said,
05:21I think I still have a lot of medals to win.
05:24But hey, I'm ready to fight for the group if necessary.
05:27I'm pretty tough.
05:29And who knows, maybe this water won't hurt me.
05:32Finally, Tom, the teenager, said,
05:35I'm really afraid to drink this water.
05:38Please, don't force me to do it.
05:40I swear I will become a good person.
05:43After hearing everyone, the group had to vote.
05:46But before voting against someone,
05:48they had to think about the utility of each person
05:51for the group and for society in general.
05:55As a magician, Peter can contribute to the preservation
05:59and development of culture and entertainment.
06:03Although his skills are not essential to survival,
06:07they could be important for the psychological health of the group.
06:12Max has good analytical skills and problem-solving skills.
06:15However, in a natural environment,
06:18his technical skills are not very sought after.
06:21In addition, his top-secret project could be
06:24an artificial intelligence capable of serving humanity.
06:28Jules was one of the group's most precious members
06:31due to his ability to provide medical assistance.
06:34Marina, the cook, could be important
06:37to maintain the group's health and morale through nutrition,
06:40but she is not essential to survival.
06:43Marie's role is less crucial.
06:45She is more of an idealist than a solution finder.
06:48Her direct impact on the group's survival is therefore extremely limited.
06:53Sean, the former detainee, has acquired survival skills
06:56in difficult environments that can be extremely useful.
07:00In addition, his potential for rehabilitation
07:03could inspire social change and reform.
07:06Daniel, the athlete, is just as important.
07:09His physical skills are important for the group
07:12and he can serve as an inspiration to others.
07:18Tom, the teenager, is not able to actively contribute to their survival.
07:22And who knows, he could grow up to become
07:25a formidable or nasty person.
07:27It's 50-50, and there is no guarantee
07:30that he will be useful or harmful to society in the future.
07:34When Dr. Jules received all the votes,
07:37he was dismayed by the group's decision.
07:40He expected most people to vote to sacrifice Max, the programmer.
07:44But no.
07:46They chose to sacrifice Tom, the young boy,
07:49and dragged him to the source.
07:51He drank water to make sure it was drinkable.
07:55Two hours later, Tom was dead.
07:59The group was deeply upset by the young boy's early disappearance.
08:03And they were also desperate, because without water,
08:06they would all suffer the same fate
08:08before the rescuers had time to find them in the middle of the jungle.
08:12It was only at this moment that Max, the programmer, had an idea.
08:16I think I can design a rudimentary filter to purify the water, he said.
08:20Max quickly described his plan
08:22which aimed to create a carbon-based device,
08:25made of sand and stone,
08:27to filter water pollutants.
08:29The group listened attentively,
08:31and the decision to try to create a filter
08:33seemed to be the best solution.
08:37With the help of the other members of the group,
08:40Max was able to assemble the device.
08:43After the first tests,
08:45the help of the other members of the group was born,
08:47and the water turned out to be drinkable.
08:50What a turnaround, isn't it?
08:52And now, I have a question for you.
08:54Which person would you have sacrificed?
08:57But we want to remind you that there are no good or bad answers.
