gollark: I mean, if it would be 1 good if everyone did X, but 0.000001 good if I did X, then the possibility of 1 good which I *can't cause* doesn't affect the goodness of me doing it, unless you expect that I can cause that, which is probably wrong.
gollark: Which is correct, though?
gollark: Those are literally the complements of each other, so you can't have one matter and the other not matter.
gollark: I cannot, say, begin taking public transport 50% more, and immediately make everyone else do so.
gollark: Yes. Which is nevertheless not hugely large.
