Did you mean to say you don’t understand why people are in favor of marriage contracts? I don’t see how the marriage contract helps in the bus example.
Sorry, I used the wrong terminology. I meant an prenuptial agreement. The bus example was to show that even if you precommit there is always the possibility that you will change your mind (i.e. in this case by losing empathy). I used the extreme method of brain damage because it’s completely out of your control. You cannot precommit on not being run over by a bus.
