Default Re: Immiment Death Question

Consider a modified scenario.

You have a nuclear bomb. You can either drop it on a bustling city, or on a lonely hermit's hut. You're going to kill less people if you make the latter choice. You must drop the bomb. You can't say "Oh I'm not going to drop the bomb." Because the rules, which are absolute in this hypothetical universe, dictate that you must make the decision to drop the bomb somewhere. The bomb won't go off on it's own if you do nothing, and you're the only one who will be doing the deciding. There is literally no way for you not to choose the hermit or thousands of city denizens to die. It is completely inescapable, because I declare that it's completely inescapable, and I am creating the scenario and am an absolute authority. Now, where do you choose to drop it?
