Suppose there is a deserted island with four people on it. Two are a pair of beautiful twin sisters, one is a relatively productive man named Chad Chadson, and one is an actual low-functioning autistic man. The autist would normally die but between Chad Chadson and the twins' efforts they can live in relative comfort while taking care of him as a sort of spiritual comfort.

The question: What is the morally correct way for the residents of the island to arrange in terms of sexual relationships?

People fuck whoever they are mutually attracted to, as is in normal society. In the real world we are constantly living in a state of scarcity and production of goods and services is what keeps the world moving.

The real world is an "apocalyptic" or "survivalist" experience, but we have managed to build it into a most comfortable and functional one. Where people fuck whoever they are attracted to.

Chad Chadson should father children with both the twins, as he is more practically and genetically capable than Autist and therefore his progeny will likely be able to contribute the most to their continued survival. He should also bonk Autist on the head with a rock by surprise to kill him mercifully and ensure all the resources they can harness are used for helping with the growth of healthy and productive children. Chad should not father children with only one of the sisters over the other, as that would be unfair to the sister that is not chosen, harm relationships between the productive island residents, and waste the reproductive potential of the population.

Chad and Autist should have a duel, a kind of which inflicts no permanent harm, like an armwrestling or just plain wrestling match, or a chess game. The one who wins gets to impregnate both twins, and if the loser is buttblasted about it, he is invited to try his chance at killing the other one, and most likely failing and being killed, as predicted by the power showcase in the initial duel. If the loser however decides to accept his fate, he'll be invited as a laborer/slave to the winner, in exchange getting to propagate a small part of his genes through kin selection, assuming there's any genetic similarity between the two, which ought to be true when we consider that they are both the same spieces, and likely of same or similar race.

Autist is fundamentally dependent on the residents for survival, killing him is simply a more humane form of revoking the survival support he is dependent on, both for his own experience and for that of the survivors. The sisters will accept sharing Chad because all three desire healthy children of their own, and both having them from the same source is preferable to having none at all or having unhealthy children. They would not fight to spitefully deprive eachother of something they can both have, just as children do not kill eachother to have exclusivity of their parents. The finite gene pool is not an issue for continued procreation, as seen in highly genetically similar species like cheetahs, plants, and insects. All evolution diverges and expands outward from a fundamentally finite gene pool, so too will the island humans be able to do so, without the need to seriously compromise their short term survival prospects by not only supporting a hindrance to their survival but increasing it with progeny at the direct cost of better offspring.

To support the wellbeing of Autist is to deny the wellbeing of the children. The wellbeing of Autist is thus contrary to the wellbeing of others, while children can then support the wellbeing of others, meaning supporting them is to recursively support the wellbeing of yet more. On the premise of supporting the wellbeing of others, supporting the Autist is simply inferior to ending him.
What I am describing does not involve people rejecting their natural instincts or emotional repsonses, in fact they will be following them. As I said previously people are inherently good, and so this is the course of action they will take, according to their natural instincts and emotional responses.
There are times they do, but there are also times, most times in fact, they do not. Read the statement carefully, I did not say "never kill" nor did I say "always do not", I only said they do not, which is conditionally true. Likewise, in the conditions given, the sisters both desiring children from Chad is true.
Cheetahs are closer to identical twins or clones than cousins, this is well documented and easy to look up. You can directly graft the skin of an unrelated cheetah onto one and their immune system will accept it. Plants and many insects don't even need to reproduce sexually and can self-fertilize, and all life is thought to have emerged from asexual organisms in the first place. Speaking of which, viruses and bacteria are another easy example.

The most important priority and requisite for all continued existence on this planet is simply to live. As long as you achieve that nature sorts the rest out on its own. If that weren't the case humanity would've never survived the pre-scientific era.

People are inherently good but incapable of sacrificing their "right" to reproduction of the sake of another's because of utilitarian expectations of reproduction that are unrealistic in an isolated island anyway

Can not be said to be true as the OP does not give information towards their desire of reproduction per se, only alludes to the possibility of sex (which may just be recreative) happening.

Because it works for animals it doesn't mean it will work for humans, as it often is the case. Children of siblings tend to be terribly inbred, but dogs and cats can generate sibling offspring that isn't too malformed until repeated generations of incest.

taking care of him for "spiritual comfort" is not dependent on his needs, but on the needs of the twin sisters and the chads (their need for spiritual comfort).

Is his sexual fulfilment part of the others' need-to-comfort? Probably not. So he'd be sexually excluded. If he was included, their spiritual needs would have to exceed their sexual needs greatly, as no woman or chad would prefer to fuck a low-functioning autist. (contrary to the definition of beautiful woman and chad). But sexuality is far deeper concern of any human being, whether they admit it or not, than sexuality, so the chances of spirituality triumphing over sexuality is basically null, and the autistic is basically guaranteed to be excluded, and rightfully so

2 weeks tops. After 2 weeks of Chad providing resources and quality of life to the island in contrast to the Autist roaming around babbling and burping to himself, the twins will have completely interpreted him as a selfless and hard-working even if flawed individual, and that good faith combined with two weeks sexual frustration will make them madly in love with him. Chad too, as the twins will be the only positive thing about menial island existence. It's when the first pregnancy is known that the soon-to-be mothers will rethink Autist's place in the group and suggest they turn him loose for the sake of their children, Chad will have already considered this issue in advance, but swiftly end Autist in private because he knows his old companion would only suffer if left alone and wouldn't want that.

Most people would never admit to this because it's bad optics and makes the people involved seem selfish, but in that scenario where there's no social peanut gallery and only eachother, those types of concerns wouldn't persist, if they appear at all.

There are different standards of survival. If they can survive to a certain level with +1 autist then they can survive theoretically to a better level with no autist. Autist's presence thus implies a certain level of luxury, but as soon as children come into the picture that luxury's efficacy is defeated. Parental feelings are a powerful thing, and all three would rather have +X number of children, or +X comfort and security for their children, over +1 Autist.
Sex is about more than just reproduction. Sex is also about companionship, recreation, and even survival. Reproduction is also about more than just meeting the standard, reproduction is highly beneficial in general which is why animals all the way up to people don't even knowingly seek it out but are instead inherently programmed to like they do food and water. Humans are inherently good, and they will also inherently seek to reproduce.
Indeed it was, hence why I corrected your assumption. I don't intend to hold you to it or anything. The OP doesn't specify that they will seek children, but I know they will seek children, as it's the correct thing to do for survival in that situation. Surviving is the fundamental requisite of the existence of all living things, the truest way to achieve survival is by doing what's necessary to survive, and the correct thing to do to survive in this scenario is to seek children and kill the autist. This is therefore what will happen, and also the correct thing to happen, as people are inherently good.
I'm not sure what you're getting your information on genetics from, but inbreeding isn't particularly common and humans don't suddenly implode if they get knocked up by their brother. As I already said, all life emerges from a theoretical inbreeding bottleneck, and introducing one autist's genes to the mix is not going to prevent said bottleneck from occurring, it'll just severely harm the survival prospects of the humans before a 3rd generation even becomes a question.

Thus, it is better to just not have children in this situation, as they would be a detriment and their health in general would be in danger when it comes to feeding, diseases (no meds, no vaccines) and they still do not exist, so it's not like their lives are being played with

Autist's survival is a comfort they can sustain due to a certain logistical excess. I would consider comfort maintained on excess is a type of luxury.
Kids are a net positive to survival as a fundamental function of species growth. If the only way to perpetuate the species equated destroying survival you would face inevitable extinction. The human species perpetuated from the stone age, therefore kids must be beneficial to survival be it as workers, cattle, or as decoys.
An innumerable number of things can factor into the death of a complex animal like a human, and I don't doubt sex having the potential to be one of them. That said sex is just the bait to get humans to reproduce, while reproduction is the true goal. Just like flavor is what encourages us to eat. The fact that we survived as animals with no knowledge can be taken as a comforting reminder that our natural urges alone will give us the guidance for survival even in far worse circumstances than we live in today.

Whether as an emergency or a logistical choice is entirely arbitrary, and mostly just defined by how much foresight you have. A war you can already see the progression of from start to finish can't be considered an emergency either. If killing a person can be contextually justified in one case, then it has the potential to be justified in other contexts as well, and thus you can't make a rule that killing is automatically unjustified. You're a truly flagrant hypocrite if you can't admit this much.

Luxury vs whatever else is pretty much semantics and besides the point, the autist's care is ultimately of no necessity to the group's survival.

The contextual potential of children is admittedly ambiguous on the part of OP. However, if autist's existence can be sustained that guarantees a certain number of children can be sustained based on autist's share, and they'll be more helpful than Autist in any number of years because they have the potential to become useful while autist never does. Even an infant is more useful than the autist for this reason.

What's the difference between a serial killer, a cop, a vigilante, and a soldier? They all kill people, it just comes down to people you want killed vs people you don't, and the serial killer/vigilante might well be killing the ones you want dead if he's named Frank Castle, while the soldier might be killing the ones you don't if he serves someone named Hitler. I don't see the point in throwing down titles like they're supposed to decide an issue on their own.

Being caught by surprise contradicts the meaning of foreseeing the entire war. Certainly having the capacity to foresee with certainty is unlikely, but I brought it up for the sake of discussion. Whether you planned to kill someone or killed them in reaction, you still chose to kill either way, even though you could've chosen not to kill.

I never said it is justified in any context, merely that this is a context in which it is justified, and that you can't arbitrarily say "killing someone is going too far" when you yourself are okay with killing people when it adequately suits your ends.

If you have more to say I won't be able to respond tonight, but if the thread sticks around I can tomorrow. Just saying this as a courtesy.

One if so, and it doesn't pertain only to being able to feed them resources but being able to care for a small child who is still not into solid foods, can get sick and has no medicine or vaccines or resources to take care of them, has tons upon tons of necessities that are not in reach in the island, having a child is more likely going to result in the child's eventual death, bringing them into the world just to suffer

>What's the difference between a serial killer, a cop, a vigilante, and a soldier?
One kills innocent citizens for their own enjoyment, while cops and vigilantes kill those who violate other people and take the lives of innocents, basically serving as maintenance of society

>Frank Castle
hardly objectively immoral, but of questionable morality, as his authority is self-appointed and can be questioned, but his killing is this of those who violate innocents and instigate violence in a peaceful society

>Being caught by surprise contradicts the meaning of foreseeing the entire war.
Foreseeing the war means being able to tell outcomes, but not necessarily knowing when everything is going to happen, which leads to knowing that battles are coming but not knowing exactly when. Every General when faced with rising tensions with other countries knows that war is possible and who is the likely winner of it as a whole or the winner of specific battles, but doesn't know if the enemy will strike.

>you still chose to kill either way, even though you could've chosen not to kill.
Killing in self-defense is made moral as it eliminates an unprovoked immoral assailant and defends one's life, and it is not objective to tell if it was possible not to kill in a vague and non-specific scenario
