Give me some trolley problems, /sci/.

Trust me, I tell that to myself everyday. But in the end I find myself being the one holding the lever and the one tied to the tracks, at the same time. I call it Schrodinger's despair.

How's that for a trolley problem?

Trolley problems are only hard if you have no sense of morality.

>>8294371
Yes, I take the risk. Not my fault if one of the other dudes pull his lever.

>>8294371
>zero casualties
>when one person must die at the start

>>8294427
>Can't into math

>>8294439
I don't need to into math to look at the picture and see there's someone tied to the rails before the first junction

>>8294445
You're missing the joke, and it's embarrassing.

>>8294368
Wow deep, dude xD

>>8294450
You've always been alone

>>8294445
there are 12 people in a group

My favorite is the philosophy professor one, but I don't have it.

Nope, not that one, but I found it.

>>8294509
Every time

It's both objectively and subjectively wrong to interact with the trolley at all.

>>8294516
Fucking saved.

>>8294735
What would you do in this situation?

>>8294774
Not my problem. Fuck 'em.

>>8294774
Nothing because in either case you are going to be sued by someone unless you were authorized to pull the lever

What if there are 5 people on the track and nobody on the other. The trolley is barrelling towards the 5 people. If you pull the lever, the junction switches to the other track, however, as a result of the lever system, you end up in the path of the trolley, saving 5 people but killing yourself

>>8294514
Is this even a problem? This is like solving x + 1= 2, there is a clear unique solution.

Killing philosophers is like donating food to Africa.

>>8294487
So...?

add up 1+2+3+... and you get -1/12

add up 12+24+36+... and you get -1...

kill one more and you're back to 0

>>8294789
Gee that really made me make a thunkie

Can you repeat the question?

>>8294509
Nice meme you got there

>Killing philosophers is like donating food to Africa.
The irony is palpable

>>8294789

>>8294363
I don't know why this one gets me

>>8294371
I dont get it. what risk?

>>8294942
All-Star is unironically one of my favourite songs ever.

>>8294964
You are lever guy #1. The risk is that the other lever guys could pull their levers and everyone the trolley had run over up to that point would die.

>>8294974
But if I pull, it wont run over anybody

>>8295012
Look again.

>>8294942
>not letting it play AllStar

>>8295025
well, except the first guy. but he is fucked no matter what

>>8294974

So why would anyone pull? If you don't pull, you can still only be held accountable for the deaths of the people in front of your juncture, which is exactly how many people you would have killed by pulling the lever. Are we assuming there might be a psychopath somewhere down the line or something?

I'm sorry, I have no idea what this joke is referencing.

>>8295032
i want summer to leave

>>8295032
No one will die if the trolleys gets to run over everyone.

>>8295036
The other people are complete strangers. They could be psychopaths or just plain irrational. Letting the trolley continue would jeopardize the lives of everyone on the track because you have no idea what the following lever guys are going to do.

>>8295048

How many levers are in the sequence?

>>8295045
>>>/b/

>>8295048
So it is just the retarded "le -1/12" meme or what? wow. makes total sense

>>8294363
Trolley problems are only easy if you think simple-minded like the westerners. ;)

>>8295065
4 including your own.

>>8295068
Sure, if you want to reduce it to math.
