Isn't it ODD that in a world of Nazis and Jews, me who is neither is being asked to make this decision? If I were a Nazi, I'm sure what my decision is going to be. If I were a Jew, I'm sure what my decision is going to be.
Actually, now that I think about it, this will be a huge problem if and when humanity, in need of new persons to speak to, decides to uplift animals. It is an important question to ask.
I suspect the names of groups make the framework of problem a bit misleading. Probably if framed in terms of groups A and B could clear the evaluation.
I just followed the naming convention of the post. There is already a thread where the naming is being disputed starting with Alicorn's comment on venusians and neptunians. As I understand, the naming is to bring near mode thinking right into the decision process and disrupt what would have otherwise been a straightforward utilitarian answer - if there are very few jews and billions of nazis, exterminate the jews.
