i’ld rather press shift-tab, go to steam library, push stop and then the uninstall button 😉

Is this really philosophy? I thought the philosophy question behind the trolley problem was whether the switch thrower was responsible for their action/inaction, not a zero-sum question of which choice is more moral. Am i wrong? Do i gotta go read it again?

Anyway (so i guess I’m arguing with uncertainkitten here lol) even if I am wrong this question isn’t. It’s just some “what would you do” stuff reminiscent of heath ledger’s joker with the ships.

Eh, don’t mind me I’m probably just still angry at all the libs trolley bullshit

Capitalist solution: Which ever of the two lever people that has the most wealth gets to pull their lever. The other gets a payout for their loss but only if their wealth is within one standard deviation of the winner.

It’s an interesting problem but the trolley tracks aren’t really drawn right. I’d tell both to pull the lever, it would derail or slow down the trolley since the other wheel isn’t lined to leave the track.

There’s no way you can redirect the trolleis on those tracks. They’re not really interconnected. So the problem is only theoretical - no matter whether you pull the lever or not, the trolley will continue on it’s journey to kill your relative.

This feels like the Joker’s gambit in The Dark Night.
