It is roughly three feet away from me.

Complications: if I scoot or stand in most of the ways that I can conceive of accessing it, this hastens the heat death of the universe by increasing my metabolic rate and consumption of energy, I think.

As a negative utilitarian, I feel my best moral decision in this moment is to go back to sleep. However, the television is off and I cannot sleep without a twelve hour video on banned Yugi-oh cards. (Pot of Greed assuages my concerns about thermodynamics some, I think.)

How do I turn my tv on?

    Watching tv also hastens the heat death of the universe.

    By your philosophy, I see two options

    1. You strangle yourself now to lessen the pain on everyone else
    2. You dedicate yourself to reducing entropy on earth and concede you must watch 12 hour videos on banned cards to be most effective

      One time I was running a robotics club and I had a student try to strangle themselves - by hand.

      Not a very effective strategy. They were back in a couple weeks.
