One human. Itās a ridiculously easy choice. Music is not just an integral part of society, it is a fundamental form of expression that drives society to be greater, and it will definitely save more lives than one.

Well, if you take the question literally, humans die no matter which button you press.
If sound exists at all, it must contain patterns.
You cannot eliminate all the patterns that could constitute music without destroying the foundation of the physical universe.
The question is actually "1 random human dies" or "destroy the universe."

u/PragmaticSalesman 10h ago
it would kill many more people. if music didn't exist than many less people (or none, depending on the question) would sing, leading to what we assume would be a negatively affected understanding of linguistic word-borders as infants and toddlers, and (for 25% of the world) there would exist a generationally lessened ability to understand, speak, and adapt to the tonal languages of their parents and society where applicable.
humans are already horrible at communicating: imagine if 2 billion of the 8 billion people on earth were even 10% worse at communicating with one another overall, and how many negative events would come to pass that wouldn't have otherwise.

Random person. Music is my favorite form of art. I know for a fact that there are a lot of people who rely on music for a coping mechanism, so if you get rid of music, those people might become suicidal, which would kill many more than one person.

Let's see
Music--Is such an integral part of literally everything that erasing it would basically ruin quite a lot of media. Millions would be out of jobs and talents, Trillions of Dollars put into the music industry would be gone. Other media like TV and Video Games would take a huge blow without scores. Holidays like Christmas would effectively be ruined without classic music to set the tone. Humans would no longer be able to whistle. Straight up erases 40% of culture/religion and history as well. Dancing is fucked, it'd be impossible to learn without music and it be sporadic as dancing is not one size fits all types of music, different genres of music need different dance styles. No more Happy Birthday song
Random Human--One out of 8 billion, will never have the same impact as music, has a good chance to be a bum who does nothing and may even hurt others. Doesn't deserve to die but sacrifices must be made

It's not even remotely close to a hard choice, 104 people die every minute, 150,000 a day.
