I have special dilemma insurance where the insurance company takes on the ethical responsibility for all of the dilemmas that present themselves to me in everyday life.
Ha-ha! Do you think they wouldn't find you here? Oh no, lad. I'm going to kill myself if you will not answer this comment, but if you do I will kill myself if I don't like your responce
"the trolley is supposed to be on track 1 for its express route, do you hold your ambiguous moral dicision as more important than the trains predetermined timetable?"
The obvious answer is to wait until the front of the trolley passes the switch, then pull the lever, so the trolley is then dragged across both tracks ensuring you get the full quadkill.
They all switched tracks. The "productive member of society" is wearing a long-sleeved blouse with a black top underneath, whereas the group of three are all wearing short-sleeved blouses with breast pockets on both sides.
@@SilentPaawit's an elaborate assassination attempt on the brother of Kim Jong Un who is in the trolley. Authorities have video evidence of her pulling the lever and detained her while the people lying on tue tracks fled.
I shared this with my kids and "These fools don't know that they're in charge of their destiny," has become a tag line on par with, "that's what she said."
Instead of killing either group, she opted to derail the trolley, but then she killed the trolley, because she didn't consider what would happen to it in the dilemma.
Does your friend remember being a little boy, walking into the Crumbley square theater? The air conditioning just right, the chill in the air. Bucket of fragrant popcorn right on your lap _fragrant_. Now what if he didn't have any of that...
Remember: No one can force you to consider the trolley problem without your consent. You _also_ are responsible for your own fate, and the (fictional) dilemma presented to you with no discernable no-loss solution? It's all just made-up to get people to consider responsibility and consequences to their action (or inaction). If you're already at the lever, and have been for too long...? Take a rest. _You may be entitled to compensation..._
The lever has no agency. It is an unwilling participant in the chain of events that it can not influence in any way. A passive observer. One could claim that it would inevitably lead to trauma, but I say the lever just does its job. It can not change things, so it just goes with the flow. The lever is chill like that.
this is the type of problems my grandpa would face every day going to school, in the snow and the heat, uphill and downhill and after having to fight off the devil with a rusty machete. they just dont make men like him any more
No one thinks of the rails, imagine constantly having people tied to you, seeing all of them beg for mercy as their demise arrives, trully a horrible society to be a railroad
very good video, made me want to watch another one. however, the second one will not be as entertaining as this one. as schopenhauer would say, life is a constant oscillation between the desire to have and the boredom of possessing
Or, as phrased by Christian rock band Casting Crowns: "Somewhere between _contented peace_ and _always wanting more..._ somewhere in the middle, you'll find me."
I greatly appreciate seeing this from someone with a football-related profile pic, as all my fave co-Philosophy-students at uni were very into their football ^_^
Somehow I never imagined that the people tied up on the train tracks would be screaming at me to pull or not pull the lever… That idea actually makes the dilemma way harder to resolve, at least for me.
then you have to find a stick, and somehow turn up your feet one after the other, maybe leaning against a wall but what if there's no wall? and then you can't get most of it off because your soles have all these intricate bits and then the stick breaks and… Oh wait, sorry that's stepping into a political debate.
"I didn't consider the trolley," made me actually LOL. I think I just struck internet gold. Subscribed. I love people who know how to just be their awesome selves.
