The Trolley Problem

[Green Habit]

I hate these types of fabricated dilemmas. This is the kind of thing that gets me itching to rant about the problems with the "effective altruism" movement.

I'm actually really interested in your effective altruism take.

Should I respond here, or start a new thread?

Ara's post below yours is also a great stepping stone pointing toward what I'd get at.

what if, instead of a lever, you could push someone in the way, causing the trolley to stop or derail before killing 5 people?

Throw yourself over instead you coward.

You're too skinny! And you're chained to the bridge. Stop ruining my ethical dilemma!

I'm much more interested in the battle between pewdiepie and t-series than the next election. priorities.

not a huge fan of this series (they leave out a lot), but they have some useful bits. Anyway some vids on utilitarianism inspired this thread I guess.

Cmon! This is the best picture in the history of the Trolley Problem!

I just assumed pews. It’s not like you come across as a jacksepticeye guy.

But seriously, I work in fundraising so I have a personal (professional?) interest in how people feel about this.

I'll try to remember to start a thread on this tomorrow, and I would definitely like to hear your thoughts too after I do so.
