Trolley Problem Solution

what if the trolley running in 88mph?

With a bit of luck the debris will catch all the people tied to the tracks.

Then the trolley will fire wheel itself into the future and the people on the tracks will be spared

Then we will see some serious shit!

Move the lever at 89mph.

Life, uh, finds a way.

Yeah, this only works if the two tracks are farther apart than the trolley’s trucks

No they mean flipping between the wheels of one truck

That makes more sense, lol. It would probably just derail and kill everyone then, highly ethical outcome.

M-M-M-M-MONSTER KILL

VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER

“life finds a way [to end]” is valid here :)

Gah, you beat me to it.

I have been in this place before

I love how a manga shows the reality of the situation.

Frame perfect trolley skip

I’ve never understood why people have such a hard time with the trolley problem. Obviously, if you pre-emptively move that lone guy over to the rail with the five, you can hit all six at once to maximize your score. Just requires a bit of setup.

Simply hit all six with multi track drifting

Y’all kids and your speedrun strats. Some of us have poor reaction time and need to perform safety setups.

That’s exactly what I think would happen with the derailing technique described here. Plus you might lose A couple in the trolley as well.

Well sure Batman can beat the trolley problem with prep time.

“Well, obviously, the dilemma is clear: how do you kill all six people?”

Or just do whatever you feel like in the moment and then jump in front of the trolley to escape all consequences.

There’s an old Talaxian expression: “When the road before you splits in two, take the third path.”

That could be misinterpreted to mean “turn around and go back the way you came”

Which would be a valid solution to the trolly problem…

Hmm I feel the urge to tuvix…

That’s a different story all together. In that case, there really were only 2 options and one was clearly morally wrong so Janeway had to do exactly that

Seems I’m always looking for that third option.

IRL physical systems there always is, that’s how we got from horses to trains.

There’s an old saying in Tennessee (I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee) that says, take the first path, shame on… shame on you. The third path- you can’t get fooled again.

This made me laugh much harder than I’m willing to admit

Rules:

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
