The Dublin-NYC Portal is an art installation with branches in Dublin and NYC. If you stand in front of one of the portals, you can see and (not in real life, but in our thought experiment) hear the people on the other side. It’s usually too crowded to really interact with, so one day you (in NYC) go to the installation at 3 AM and are the only person around. You start talking to two Dubliners, who are the only people around on their side of the portal. Suddenly, one of them starts choking. The other shrieks “I need to do the Heimlich Maneuver, but I don’t know how!” You know how, and could easily walk them through it. But it’s cold and you want to go home. Should you help them?
