The whole #BearVsMan thing is #PointlesslyGendered. I 100% choose bear, and that is stable if you change it to “Bear Vs Person” or “Animal vs Person.” Why? People are more capable and less predictable than animals.
If I’m alone and doing fine, I choose the lower variance encounter: the animal. I’m likely to remain in control.
If I’m alone and NOT fine, I choose the higher-variance encounter: the person. I’ve already lost control; the person could rescue me, the animal cannot.
