You become aware that people are dumping poisonous chemicals into the lake. You can stop this by reporting it to the cops. You do nothing.

Thousands of children over the course of a decade are born with birth defects or even stillborn, and hundreds of families are shattered. Many more people will die early due to cancer. Still think you're not guilty?

>but this is unrealistic?
Is it?

Companies were aware that asbestos caused asbestosis for years, and they did nothing - allowing their workers to get sick and die in exchange for profits. Tobacco companies too. Many such cases.

inb4 "but a prior agreement existed!!!!"
Sure, I'll believe that when you dig up the case law or contract that proves it. "A prior agreement" is not a get out of jail free card for you to pull whenever your stated morals make you uncomfortable. If it's not in writing, and you can't show it, it doesn't exist at all.

An interesting proposition.

If you're going to toggle it at all, you should toggle it quite a few times, hoping to hit an even number, since once you do, all toggling will be beneficial until you hit 1, where it will triple up to 4, then go back to 2, then 1, and oscillate. The number of toggles you need to hit an even number, for n=initial people on the track.
1- 1 (4)
2- 2 (22)
3- 1 (10)
4- 2 (40)
5- 1 (16)
6- 2 (58)
Etc.

So if you have an arbitrary number of toggles, you can kill an expected value of 2.333... people. If you expect to get less than t <10 toggles in, and n <50, you're probably better off not toggling at all.

You think this because you are a retard who objects to the notion of duty based solely on the fact that if you accepted its self-evident existence you would have to face the fact that you are incapable of living up to its demands.

Nope.

There is a class of professional ingrates infesting our society, and we all agree these people think differently than us, don't understand the ties that bind us.

These are the ancaps and the lolbertarians - the neo-liberals in the halls of power destroying our communities in the pursuit of profits not because they are evil, but because they literally don't even realise what they're throwing away.

That's not how duty works, faggot.

Like I said, you're retarded.

There are actual good objections to the notion of duty - not ones that I agree with, but compelling ones - but "I didn't agree to it" isn't one of them. Nobody who understands what duty is thinks that agreement is a part of duty.

>Thousands of children over the course of a decade are born with birth defects or even stillborn, and hundreds of families are shattered. Many more people will die early due to cancer. Still think you're not guilty?

You seem to be removing all responsibility on the people who are doing the action. I cannot be guilty of things that I didn't do.

>Companies were aware that asbestos caused asbestosis for years, and they did nothing - allowing their workers to get sick and die in exchange for profits. Tobacco companies too. Many such cases.

Now you are moving away from ethical dilemma into reality. When you take a job, you are responsible for the actions of the employee when you are giving them a task. If they make a employee do something illegal (that the employee may not no is), they get the shit for it. This isn't the same as me witnessing a crime and not calling the police for whatever reason.

>Sure, I'll believe that when you dig up the case law or contract that proves it. "A prior agreement" is not a get out of jail free card for you to pull whenever your stated morals make you uncomfortable. If it's not in writing, and you can't show it, it doesn't exist at all.

You can claim it exists but that's no proof of it.

I do, in fact, "fulfill my duties". But I do it as a charity. Inaction can never be immoral action unless action was promised ahead of time.

The idea that merely doing nothing is somehow an immoral action is absurd unless you intend to go full Singer and place the lives of every starving child in your hands.

Section 316 of the NSW crimes act.
>If a person has committed a serious indictable offence and another person who knows or believes that the offence has been committed and that he or she has information which might be of material assistance in securing the apprehension of the offender or the prosecution or conviction of the offender for it fails without reasonable excuse to bring that information to the attention of a member of the Police Force or other appropriate authority, that other person is liable to imprisonment for 2 years.

But to answer the question directly, nobody does. Why? Because people do their fucking duty, unlike antisocial (in the most literal sense) parasites like yourself.

>You seem to be removing all responsibility on the people who are doing the action
Wrong. They also need to hang. Everyone involved, and everyone who knew and did nothing.

>Now you are moving away from ethical dilemma into reality.
It seems that way but I'm really pointing out that the whole reason we have those laws that you mention is entirely because there is societal consensus that knowing and doing nothing is not good enough.

How is it moral to expect this from someone who never agreed to it? No such obligation exists without agreement. If it does exist, why have you not given all your money to the Against Malaria foundation yet? The deaths of those children are on your hands just as much as the malaria.

Community.

Moral life is impossible outside of a moral community, which means that it is a priori immoral not to strive to uphold moral community. This is not "social contract" theory so don't even try and bring that horse shit up. It's got nothing to do with debt.

It is communitarianism. Which is no relation to communism, so shut your face about that shit too.

Because handouts for niggers has nothing to do with supporting my community, thus I have no duty to do so - unless I believe that I am part of a broader "human" community, which obviously I am not because no such moral community exists.

Irrelevant.

>Do you dare deny me my pursuit of happiness?
Yes. I'd deny you your fucking life too if I could.

Moral life requires moral community. Therefore nothing that supports moral community is immoral, and anything that works against supporting moral community is automatically immoral. That would include things like not reporting crimes, which is inaction as surely as not pulling the lever. And not only is this just my half-assed memery, this doctrine is - as you have seen - enshrined in part in law.

The atomized individual and the excesses of liberalism are solely responsible for the decaying west. Only duty and communitarian thought can save us now, but parasites like you must be the first to go - before even the niggers and the muslims. It is the enemy within, not the enemy without, that is the greatest threat.

And you of all people should be elating in this ideology. You say you want to be left alone to do nothing? How are you going to do that in a failed state? Do you think they enjoy the excessive atomized liberalism that you crave in Darfur? The prerequisite of your parasitic behaviour is a functioning moral community - you are just too retarded to see how supporting one keeps you safe. A smart person in your position would smile and nod and agree with everything I have said, and even encourage it to be forced on others, and then turn around and be a parasite in secret.

Like I said, you're not a philosopher - just an idiot.

I'd like to make a variant of this problem.

Let's say the percentages are the same, however, the 4 people on one side of the track are all siblings, meaning if even one of them dies, the remaining will surely be grief stricken. However, the one guy on the other side of the track has no siblings or close friends/family members, except his single mother that raised him.

Would this change your answer at all, even if statistically speaking picking the four people is the "safest" option?

So, you have 2 doors; other one contains 5 people and the other one the single person. That makes your chances 50/50, doesn't it? No matter what you do, your chances will remain at 50/50. People are saying, that you should switch the track, why is that?

But doesn't this equation require you to be able to take the "test" multiple times? If you get to do it only once, it doesn't matter which door you choose. Your chances of opening the right door will stay at 50/50. But that only works, if you get to do it ONLY ONCE.

How do you know? Investigation isn't all just peoples witness testimonials as this has always seen as a unreliable way to "solve" a crime. The only way I can see this being applicable is if you are willing to assist on covering up a crime but that is an action in itself.

You seems to think that making a practical choice is the same as ethical choice. Laws like these are just more convenient than without them but that also doesn't come at a cost. Just like the dilemma itself: you have to kill a person to save 5 others. You aren't coming away from with clean hands if you do pull the lever.

Because prosecutions under section 316 of the NSW crimes act are public.

That would be a different offence.

The offence described in section 316 is specifically not covering something up but merely not telling the authorities when you know of a serious indictable offence. Which, actually, IS covering it up.

>God, I can't imagine what sort of authoritarian hell hole you are dreaming up in your mind.
The US has the death penalty too. Is it authoritarian? Crime begets punishment. It's not evil to kill your enemies.

>>378051070
I find that people typically "get it" better when you take the situation to an extreme.

Suppose there are one million doors, and behind one of them is the car, and 999,999 hide goats.

What are your odds of selecting the car?
1/1,000,000

And the odds of selecting the goat?
999,999/1,000,000

So let's say you pick a door; there is a one in a million chance that you picked the correct door. The game show host then opens up 999,998 doors, revealing goats behind them all -- leaving the door you chose, and one last door. Won't you switch?

The reason it works is because the game show host is not revealing doors at random; specifically, the game show host is only opening doors that he knows has goats behind them.

Use your brain dumbshit.

If the entire foundation of my concept of duty is the necessity of supporting a moral community then the only way that supporting niggers in Africa would be a duty would be if our moral community extended to Africa.

Obviously it doesn't, because in this community we have different morals to that community. Not only that, but even if we did share morals there is clearly not large consensus that we share community anyway. The community of Shrewsbury and the community of Devon-on-Wold might be two tiny rural English villages that are for all intents and purposes identical, but that doesn't make them the same community.

Think of 1,000,000 doors instead of 3.

You pick a door. You have a one in a million chance of picking the correct door.

I then open every door except door number 542,923. All the doors are open except that one suspicious door. The prize is either behind the one you picked or the one I left closed.

Are you going to stick with your door, which has a one in a million chance of being right, or are you going to switch the literally one door that you can open out of this pool of 999,999,999 other doors that you didn't pick?

This is the exact same problem as 3 doors. The difference is that with 3 doors, you have a 2/3rds chance of getting it right if you switch, and with a million doors you have a 999999/1000000 chance of getting it right if you switch. Meaning, you should always switch.

How can two communities be part of the same moral community if they have wildly different morals?

You want me to give money to niggers because it's my duty. Okay. I will. But first you have to show me they're part of my moral community. That means you need to show that niggers are a part of the same community that without which I would not be able to live morally - i.e. that the absence of niggers means that there would no longer be stable society that allows me to think about more than just survival.

Protip: you can't. And that's the point.

In fact the world would probably be better off without niggers, so technically speaking it's my duty to genocide them.

That isn't what I mean. How can the police prove me for a crime that they don't know. For all they know, I can have a really short term memory. Seems like you have to be very rare case to actually go through with.

I believe it only really applies to stuff like murder. Even then, they have cut back since being alive in prison is cheaper than getting the needle.

Thats quite an absolutist position with very vague terms. You sound like you would be a big fan on another Reich happening.

Ethics don't equal practicality. In fact, they can clash in a lot of ways. To imply that ethical choices are derived from practicality is crazy because it ignores generalized morality.
>>
>>378053515
I see.

The important fact is basically that you chose, at the beginning, a single door out of a million. Literally a one-in-a-million shot.

To recap:
Odds of you choosing the correct door:
1/1,000,000

Odds of the correct door being one of the other doors:
999,999/1,000,000


Then, the host reveals 999,998 doors that are guaranteed to have goats behind them, leaving your 1/1,000,000 door and one door out of the 999,999/1,000,000 pool.

If you don't switch, well, you have a 1/1,000,000 chance to have picked the correct door from the beginning.

If you do switch, then you gain odds of winning equal to all of the information gained (the 999,998 doors that were opened, along with the remaining closed door).

>But couldn't the second door just be something picked randomly?

>>
>>378053762
No, the door with prize can't be open. Anyway, don't think of the doors as physical object. The action of switching door just switches your chances of winning and losing. Your initial chance of picking right door was 1/3 or 1/1,000,000. After doors are opened, switching your choice makes it 1/3 or 1/1,000,000 chance of losing.

Statistically, pulling the level is the only correct decision. If you pull it twice, you're guaranteed to be on an even number, at which point you can keep pulling the lever forever, because when you hit 1, you triple to 3, plus one additional person for 4, at which point you'll just go between 4-2-1-4-2-1 until you stop. Since the starting number can be anything, the chances of starting with 4 or below is stupidly small, so pulling the lever for a while is the only correct decision.
>>
>>378051070
You have to factor into things that the fact that you're being shown the other door improves you odds. If you pick group of five #1, they show you group of 5 #2. If you pick group of five #2, they show you group of 5 #1.

It's easier to imagine if there were, say, 100 doors and upon picking one you were shown the contents of 98 being losers.
>>
>>378053762

It's literally that easy. That, combined with some evidence that places you there in a position to witness it, and maybe some dumb admissions you made on your part before you spoke to your lawyer. The court isn't retarded.

>I believe it only really applies to stuff like murder
The only point is that the state having the right to kill doesn't automatically equate to totalitarianism.

>So you believe you are not only failing to provide a charitable action to your community, but are commiting the equivalent of murder in your community, as you are allowing preventable death to happen?
Sure, in some ways.

But remember: the source of duty is the necessity of supporting the community. My minor acts of charity obviously aren't necessary, so are they really duty? I would say still yes, but on a different scale - because minor charity may not be necessary in physically supporting the community, but the pervasiveness of charitableness is necessary in supporting the righteousness of the moral community. You can draw a direct link from concealing knowledge about dumping poisonous chemicals - or not pulling the lever - to death and misery, so the punishment should be equally direct. You cannot draw such a link from my lack of charity, and in situations where you can (e.g. not feeding a literal starving man and leaving him to die) I'd equally agree with a direct punishment.

Lastly, our community has already determined a minimal standard of charitableness to which I adhere. That's what our transfer payment system is for, and why I pay my taxes. If I were tax evading then yes, I should and would be tried. Hell, if I were tax MINIMISING I should be tried. But so also should be the people who allowed for the minimising to be legal.

Well it sounded like you were saying that if ethics aren't practical they are irrelevant. Your stance devalues the word "bad". If being bad is something that is tolerated, then it has no point. Saying that a majority of people are bad makes the term worthless, and in order to retain the value of defining badness it is necessary to agree that if an action is considered bad, but is performed by everyone then it is no longer bad. I think I got sidetracked a little while typing this, though.

>>
>>378056068
That's an argument that I definitely agree with linguistically speaking, yes.

Morally I think it's important to recognise that morals are something that we talk about, not something that we practice. To say that some morals are "more practical" than others is simply to admit that some morals are flexible enough to fit around the things that we already decided that we were going to do. My position on philosophy's usual place in the world is this:

>i want to do thing
>*invent philosophical basis that justifies thing i want to do*
>now i can do thing

Pragmatism is no defence of morals, because it is essentially the codification of the above bastardisation. I wrote a fanfiction about the Lion King that dealt with these topics but in brief basically morality's purpose is not to keep us alive - it's to keep us righteous for as long as we live. Death can indeed be a duty, and the most important part of a life worth living is a death worth dying for.

To shrink away from the right thing to do because it is not "pragmatic" (that is, because it does not have the best chance of keeping you alive and comfortable) is just cowardice, not clear-sightedness.

the problem is worded in a weird way. originally it was, "if the converyor belt is moving at the same speed as the plane's wheels, does the plane take off"
which is nonsensical, because it's impossible for the converyor belt to do that. the wheels will always be spinning at the speed of the conveyor belt + the speed of the plane. the plane takes off, but then people get mad because the wheels are moving faster than the conveyor belt as soon as you turn on the engine.

It was a parody work, very dry and not my best which is why I never posted it online. Here's the first two paragraphs just to prove it exists.
>The Communists disdained to conceal their crime; a dead zebra, not yet fully grown and not near enough for all the dogs, lay steaming under the hot sun in a muddy puddle of its own blood. Every so often it would take a gurgling breath. It was seconds - a minute at the most - from expiring. Out of a queer respect the dogs had formed a circle to watch it die rather than begin devouring it alive. It was a habit of civilisation that the hard months of travel through Europe and North Africa hadn’t yet squeezed out of them. But they put the time to good use.
>“Comrade,” Zhukov was saying, “I understand your point - truly, I do - but it is a primitive logic that supports it. Yes, it appears sensible that the dogs who participated in the hunt ought to get the largest share of the hunt, but is such treatment truly equitable? It is not Dog’s fault that he is a dachshund, that his spine is bad, that he is blind in one eye and lame in one leg. Why ought he be punished for these shortcomings when they are no fault of his own? Why should he suffer once the abuse of the bourgeois master that crippled him and once again for the abuse thus inflicted, as if it was his own fault? And do you not remember his assistance during the crossing of the Bosphorus? If we are rewarded proportional to our service then where is his reward for that? Comrade, you must see that the only moral course of action is an equitable division of the meat.”

http://www.notguilty.com.au/conceal-serious-indictable-offence-charges

>In a recent noteworthy case, the writer represented a client charged pursuant to s316 with having concealed a serious indictable offence. The indictable offence was a serious assault. It was clear from the police case, in which evidence of over twenty witnesses and CCTV footage was tendered that our client did not witness the attack and could not possibly have seen who committed the attack. In hindsight, the police determined through CCTV footage that our client had been seen associating with the persons who had committed the attack both before and some minutes after the attack and drew the inference that therefore he must have “believed” he knew who had committed the attack and knew that that information “might” assist police. The complexity of section 316 was considered at length in that case. We were successful in having him found not guilty on the basis that the Magistrate could never be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that he actually knew or believed anything about the commission of that attack on the basis of the evidence.

Even in this they had footage of the witness, they still couldn't prove it.

You misunderstand said problem. There is no certainty.
>>
>>378058532
think of it this way, you had more chance of picking a wrong door at the start, so likelihood is the door you've chosen is wrong, it's more likely to be one of the other two doors.

assuming you've chosen the wrong door to start, and the announcer shows you the other wrong door, the remaining door is more likely to be the correct door than the one you've chosen.

this, but most people don't get why so just say always switch doors

You're fucking retarded:

(.75)^5 chance of saving all 5.
[(.75)^4](.25) x 5C1 chance of saving 4, or in other words killing one.
[(.75^3)][(.25)^2] x 5C2 chance of killing 2, which is objectively worse than anything that can happen on the other track.
[(.75^2)][(.25)^2] chance of killing 3
etc.

What it amounts to:
0 dead: 24%
1 dead: 40%
2 dead: 26%
3 dead: 8.6%
4 dead: 1.4%
All dead: .01%
So you have a 64% chance of having a better or equivalent outcome keeping it on that track than you would on the other track. But you also run the risk of killing more people.

These dilemmas aren't even difficult. Of course you would risk the lone person. It's only when you put faces on the people that things change. For example, a group of niggers or one white person. Who would then pick the blacks? Just my two cents.

What about the probability of killing more than one person? On the 15% track it's 0% chance but on the 5 man it isn't.

Are you willing to gamble with people's lives?

>So you have a 64% chance of having a better or equivalent outcome keeping it on that track than you would on the other track. But you also run the risk of killing more people.

No shit captain, that's my point. By default you have a much greater chance than 15% of saving 5, even without considering any other case beyond .75^5. Use your brain.

You also have a 36% chance of something worse happening than what could possibly happen on the other track. A one in four chance of it being just 1 person worse, and a 10% chance of it being 2 or more worse.

That's why it's an ethical dilemma. You could calculate the expect value of death per lane this way:
For the switch lane it's just 0.85 people.
For the current lane it's:
(0.4)+(0.26)2+(0.086)3+(0.014)4+basically 0
=1.234

So the expected number of people to die in the current lane is higher than the expected number of people to die in the switch lane (1.234 > 0.85)

So the statistical answer is to switch.

Yes, but we're in the meme era now anon. I'm only executing them ironically.

Anyway, to be serious:

No, I'm implying that the only difference between a moral killing and an immoral one is whether it's sanctioned by the community.

>it can't decide whether or not it wants to reform them, or just punish them as harshly as possible, regardless of future consequences.
I agree. The American system is retarded. Prisons should be for reformation. However, not every deserves a second chance. Some people should just be executed. Some crimes are unforgivable.

>Violence begets violence
I don't think so. Besides, I'm more inclined to forgive a murderer than a corrupt politician. A man who shoots his wife's lover in a fit of passion? Prison, fine, whatever, I don't care. A man who takes bribes in exchange for pork-barrelling electorates? Execute him.

Albert knows the letter, Bernard the number.

Albert knows that bernard doesnt know which pad it is. If bernard had the number 5 or 6, he would know the pad, as those two numbers only have 1 pad on them.

For albert to know that bernard does not know the pad, the letter than albert has cannot be A or B. Because if it was A or B then it would be possible for bernard to know the pad (5 or 6).

This means the pad must be C or D.
Now, bernard states that he knows the correct pad. This means that it cannot be path 1, if it was path 1, then he would be unable to know if it was 1c or 1d. Thus it must be path 2 3 or 4.

Albert then states that he knows which pad it is. For Albert to know whether it was 2 3 or 4, it must be the path that has only 1 pad on it for those tracks, this is track C as track D has paths 2 and 4 on it, whereas C only has track 3 on it.

This means that the pad in question is C3.

The logical behind this puzzle is figuring out which pads are "uncertain" and eliminating them.

The result you get from switching is dependent on the door you initially picked. Because a goat door is always revealed, it means that switching will "invert" your initial choice.

For those of you still confused about Monty Hall:

Imagine it's 100 doors instead of 3. You pick 1, then 98 of the doors are opened, leaving just 2 to choose from (the one you picked and one other "Random" door). It's almost certain that you didn't pick the right door the first time (99/100 chance of being wrong). Those odds have not changed just because 98 other doors were opened, so you have a 99/100 chance of picking the right door if you switch.

>And is totalitarian enforcement of the will of majority even bad? Is totalitarianism bad anyway?

Any system can work if you don't apply it to real life. I can't really find a totalitarian system that didn't end up oppressing and mass murder. Unless you are one of those people who believe Nazi Germany was "paradise on

You are a fucking retard. You aren't taking into account the chance of you getting wrong. There are 2 doors that are wrong and 1 that is right.

The chances of you picking a wrong choice are higher than you choosing the right one but if one of the wrong choices is gone and is revealed that it was a wrong option then you have 2 scenarios.

1) You choose the right option and the other available option is 100% wrong.

2) You choose the wrong option and the other available option is 100% right.

Now from this 2 scenario, scenario number 1 is less likely than scenario number 2 because for scenario number 1 you had a 1 in 3 chances to fall into it, while scenario number 2 you had 2 in 3 chances to fall into it.

You see why is always better to switch doors?

>Yeah only for murder and treason which concerns public safety
But it doesn't.

The threat that somebody already incarcerated actually poses to the public is so close to fucking zero it's probably less than your chances of surviving an execution attempt. You could argue that dead people don't get accidentally released when they're not safe after their sentence is up, but that argument undermines the claim that innocent people don't get executed because the faulty system you're using to justify executions is the same system doing the executing.

The US government has the legal right to execute people through a process by law established, and it is a democracy. Executions =/= totalitarian. They never have.

>See pic.
Ergo it's not totalitarian if it's democratic, which the US is. Thus torpedoing your own claim, which is that executions are inherently totalitarian.

>I can't really find a totalitarian system that didn't end up oppressing and mass murder.
Depends on how you define things. The most successful European monarchies were totalitarian, and they were not oppressive or mass-murdering by the standards of the time. Totalitarianism belongs to history, and history is generally shittier than modernity, but applying modern standards to history is retarded.

>You said you didn't really believe that it was ethical
And I don't believe any of the current wars we're fighting are ethical.

But clearly there is at least some agreement that war in general can be, or nobody would have ever tried to sell our current wars as such. Not to mention the R2P doctrine out of Canada.

This is why we don't apply that use of divergent series to groups of people. It's not correct.

it has uses in particle physics however.

By the understanding of sets, as long as all you're doing is adding natural numbers together, then the result will always be a natural number sine they are closed under addition.

You cannot end up with a rational as long as you are adding naturals, and the limit of n(n+1)/2 = (sum of 1+2+3+...n), as n approaches infinity, is infinity.

Getting a goat is the equivalent of hitting 5 people- only one of the doors has one person 5 people behind it.

It's operating on the principle that you likely got the first guess wrong, and knowing with absolute certainty that the host won't just reveal the answer.

The practical thought process behind switching is that you have only a 1-in-3 chance of picking the correct door on your first try, which translates to a 2-in-3 chance of picking a screw-up. However, this is ultimately in your favor, because the host knows which door has the answer behind it. If you did in fact screw up, this only leaves the host with one potential door they can open to show the other wrong door, which then leaves you with a very high probability that the last door has the correct answer behind it.

That's why you should always switch, as that basically would invert the chances of winning and losing - the only situation where a switch wouldn't help is if you happened to randomly pick the right door (1/3 chance), in which case the door that the host opens wouldn't make a difference.

>This is why we don't apply that use of divergent series to groups of people. It's not correct.

Oh yeah, wow thanks for correcting me, I legitimately thought that if we built an infinitely long railroad containing an infinite amount of people that we would end up with -1/12 of a person (ignoring the fact that both the infinite railroad, the infinite people, and -1/12 of a person are all impossible things).

I really truly thought that I could apply this nonlinear math to real world examples that aren't even actually possible in the real world, but now you have truly shown me the light. I honestly thank you for teaching me how wrong I was (both mathematically as well as ethically) when I so foolishly attempted to apply an amusing mathematical concept to a trolley meme.

Now I just hope that you can forgive me for the trespasses I've committed against not only you, but the maths and sciences communities as a whole. I am truly sorry.

The punishment for breaking the NAP should be correspondent to the violation, in this case a fine for trespassing would be enough, I'm sure that the people that I saved wouldn't mind helping pay for it in case the owner is an asshole and decides to press charges.

Look at it this way:

You pick one door, you don't pick two doors. There is a 1/3 chance it is in the door you picked and a 2/3 chance it's in a door you didn't pick. If you get shown a wrong door that you didn't pick, that doesn't magically change the probability.

So after that is revealed, it's still 1/3 the one you originally picked and 2/3 one of the doors you didn't originally pick, except now you know which one of those 2 doors not to pick.

The bottom one. If the train runs them over one by one, it can go on forever, but if you pile a 1000 bodies at once on the rail, then the total mass of bodies can stop or derail the train.

Statistically only one person would die on B. Statistically the only guy on A would die

A

But you also might kill more than one person, even though the chance of killing anyone is lower.

Also, to help out that other anon, out of 109 cases, 91 just plead guilty to the crime.

Also, this seems to only talk about successful prosecutions, and I'm not sure if it mentions how many people were brought in on charges and then let go.

I actually ran it through a simulation in powershell, and ran the problem 1000000 times through some loop to calculate some things

Interestingly enough, ~76% of the people on track B survived all of those simulations.

It becomes 50/50 if you choose again.
Last choice is still 1/3.

It makes more sense when your number of doors approaches infinity.

If you have some finite but for all practical purposes infinite number of doors to choose from and you choose it then every other door but one is removed leaving you with your chosen door and some other, you went from having a 1/inf chance of choosing the correct door to having 50/50 odds.

It's more likely the other door is correct as your previous one was chosen with odds of 1/inf, however it COULD be the right door and you chose it perfectly out of the near infinite number of doors you had to choose from.

So in the 3 doors case, you may have chosen the correct door on your first try, but it's more likely the non-removed door remaining is the correct one.

>>378076235
Almost correct except for the odds which makes it pretty much entirely wrong.

>>378075785

>>378076369
Yeah I couldn't remember if it was 50/50 or like (n-1)/n that the other door is correct after the swap.
