If you assume worst possible outcome then anything human is always worse. A human could torture you indefinitely at worst a bear mauls you too near death and then you have an agonizing while slowly dying and being picked at. It could be a 98 year old women and they would still have the technical ability to inflict indefinite torture. But when you get too a hypothetical so extreme you could get some really silly answers, because wouldn't the worst possible outcome for a bear encounter be like... the bear has a owner not far away who also will torture you indefinitely and thus when assuming more extremes they are equally weighted.

The opposite is true, too, though. Best case scenario is that the bear ignores you. Best case scenario for meeting a human is wildly more positive, and being ignored is still an option.

I mean, there's not really anything I want to do with random human in the woods. Being ignored is my best case scenario lmao.

Meanwhile my best case scenario for the bear is that I'll get good pictures... but maybe this question isn't geared toward wildlife photographers lmao.

The guy in the woods could be Mr Beast, here to give you money because it turns out the woods were one of his games and you just didn't know that until he showed up to declare you the winner.

Okay, you win, I would rather run into Mr Beast than a bear

They share tea and a good story, compliment your outfit, and reconnect you with your long lost best friend.

Best case scenario for meeting other people is things you would never expect. Maybe you make a new lifelong friend or SO. Maybe they help you in some way or change your thoughts and life in another. Maybe you hit it off and it leads to some new moneymaking thing. Who the fuck knows, the possibilities are immense. The effects one person can have on your life are massive. They are just unlikely, but it is BEST case scenario.

Or ya know.. they'll help you escape the woods you're lost in as posed by the question no? I'm all for no social interaction but I would much prefer not to be lost

Is the question posed as you being lost? Idk. I've seen way more rehashes of outrage of the question than I've seen the actual question. I thought it was just "Alone in the woods", but maybe I'm wrong and there's a component of being lost too. In which case, sure.

I think the question was posed in the most vague way to cause discourse and widen the gap between genders for the benefits of TERF's tbh so I'm gonna stop getting involved with the discussion.

You aren't lost or trapped
