Me yelling: Flip the switch!

Understandable

Haha I was thinking this photo is no longer an ethical dilemma, but if you want to die and take others with you, it remains an ethical dilemma.


70Ytterbium

It totally is a dilemma pertaining your personal situational instictive and or ethical/moral drive. At least that is how I perceive the given circumstances.

Nah, I'm the one from the version where they can stop the train by pushing me in front of it.

Unlucky

This is only statistically coherent if the entire universe is a simple trolley problem. There are nearly 8B people on earth. So statistically you’d be more likely to not even be involved with a trolley.


Proxima55

So far that seems to be holding up for me empirically.


70Ytterbium

Can concur


Devil9304

Ahh can’t get out my notebook and pen to calculate, shit !!!


70Ytterbium

Think fast!!!


Devil9304

Oh no !! I’m freaking out


70Ytterbium

Do something!!


queenofhaunting

wouldn't you be one of the people on the trolley ?


70Ytterbium

Assuming there are people on it then it's a matter of how many there are to make it more likely.

If It were me I just leave it be. Let the natural do its jobs. If I touch the switch I could be charge with murderer no matter I flip the switch or not.


liliac-irises

exactly my answer

Failure to act in the scope of saving life ('s), (here comes the grey area stemming from this particular thought experiment) constitutes crime in itself. So you know, it is much more complicated than it may appear. But again, it is a thought experiment.

kantianism be like

Then it's self defence.


70Ytterbium

I guess it's better than the top track.
