I find it a bit strange that you wouldn't risk your life for any sort of gain, but you would take up the offer to live a short life as the president of the usa.
The difference is that an individual may believe / be effected by certain moral conceptions.
Example: A muslim suicide bomber may take his life for a greater goal (in his mind). This to further his group. The same muslim would in this example, not do anything he deems "wrong", for instance any self gratifying action.
Askegg may have a moral emotional effect; "benefit humanity". This thought has a higher moral value then self gratification.
Hmm, that would make sense. You see, the reason I found this strange was that "any sort of gain" says to me that you could choose anything, including being the president. Even by just asking for money you could help a lot of people.
Still, even with your version I still find it a little bit strange. After all, we do all sorts of things that risk our lives, though most of the risks are very very small, but for example heavy smoking and extreme sports can really up the ante.
Ha! You changed my mind about number 5. I was thinking, "No Balls No Glory." But you're right. My one life isn't worth fame and fortune. Everything has it's good and bad including fame and fortune so I would probably be trading one misery for another.
That whole immortality thing, I would say yes every time, whether by means of a few stomped kittens or no. It may turn out to be the wrong decision ultimately, but I just couldn't say no. It may be a shortcoming of my imagination not being able to fully comprehend even just a billion years. It's easy to talk about when discussing geology, but damn, you just can't get a realistic grasp on that kind of time.
Question number five is not really much of a choice conundrum as either choice is pretty negative. On one hand you could be slaughtered. On the other, you can achieve everything but live a pointless existence with no desire to achieve anything (because it all has already been accomplished) which is pretty much living a slow death anyway.

Yes, looking for consistency in our moral/social behavior can lead to slight insanity. x)

Your 1st answer and second answer fit perfectly in a way. You die in three years but you're remembered as a genius.

True. If all your dreams have been fulfilled, then what is there to look forward too? You may as well be dead.
