I can explain the percentages of people in the early hypotheticals who allowed the greater number of people to die. Said people could better handle allowing others to die through inaction ("they'd have died if I didn't hadn't turned up anyway, I wipe my hands of this") rather than pulling a lever which could be seen as murder: a direct action from them which caused x amount of people's deaths. That's the often overlooked element from this conundrum, even though it doesn't apply to most mindsets.

another part of the trolley problem is if inaction counts as an action. So some people choose not to pull the level regardless of it it results in less death, as they view that taking the action makes your responsible for the deaths while the inaction of ignoring the lever in their view does not.

Alas, choosing to do nothing is still a choice. You knew there was a choice involved. There's a Jewish saying that kinda applies here: "You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it." To me, you are not obligated to be a hero and save everyone and make "the best choice", but you are not free to just let the trolley pass by and claim "inaction", because your choice not to choose leads to more suffering, and it is our job to make this world better than when we found it.

@@luciuseclipse That makes sense! And yeah, some people drop the ball more often than not, but I also wanna give people the benefit of the doubt. The world can be overwhelmingly cruel in its indifference at times, and you can only do so much every day-plus, a lot of people are stuck in systems that force them to devote time and energy to jobs that barely pay rent, and their (and our!) consent in these systems is manufactured and coerced. You are the one constant in your own life, so if you can put yourself first without actively harming others, do so. (Plus, in like, ten minutes, a megacorporation could pollute the oceans far more than the average person could in their lifetime, and they could do more good for the destitute by barely lifting a finger, and they actively choose not to while also fucking over everyone else. It's a matter of degree, not of kind, in that regard.)

A nuance that gets lost a lot due to the gamification of this problem is the difference between action and inaction. If you pull the lever to divert the trolley and kill the 1 person, you've made the conscious decision and performed the actions necessary to kill that 1 person. You've explicitly taken it upon yourself to decide who lives and who dies, which is fine for a gamey toy problem but becomes much more complicated IRL.
@pennyforyourthots
@pennyforyourthots 2 жыл бұрын
Sure, but the other philosophy on the trolley problem is that you've also made a conscious decision to NOT do anything, and that inaction is a form of action. Because of this, not choosing to do anything is also taking it upon yourself to choose who lives and who dies. Personally, I think that interpretation is probably the one that most people hold, and the one that would most likely occur in a realistic scenario of the trolley problem. There's also a third, often undiscussed philosophy on the question, which is rejecting the need to make the choice to begin with and solving the systemic issues that lead to all these damn people getting run over by trolleys (implementing safety measures, removing the trolley lobbies ability to operate at such dangerous speeds, etc)

Just thought I'd mention this as an interesting fact. The reason on the first 2 instances their are so many disagreements is because pulling the lever has a secondary consequence. Because its not just that you minimize casualty's, but its also that you become directly responsible for the death of the one individual (or four in the second case). So their is a sort of intangible element or guilt involved to the decision. Most people would agree that minimizing is correct, while some do don't want to have that guilt on their conciusness.

Also, people have been saying that, in the original problem, you're not responsible if you do nothing, but here's the issue: in this version, you're shown to have your hand already on the lever before making the decision, so in a way you're right, you're always responsible

I think the main moral conundrum with the trolley question is Willful Ignorance. If you pull the lever you are actively killing one person. But if you ignore the lever and let it kill the 5 people on the track are you truly responsible. If you didn't show up those 5 people would've died anyway. Are you going to actively kill someone or willfully ignore the deaths of 5 people. And can you conscience handle either choice. Do you let fate run it's course or do you change its direction. You are either fully responsible for the death of 1 person or partially responsible for the death of 5. I know I'm not the first person to draw this conclusion. I just usually approach it by asking. "By doing nothing am I truly responsible? If I wasn't here what would've happened?"

I feel like Dan missed an important aspect of the trolley problem at the beginning. And important part to the consideration is that you _aren't_ responsible regardless of your choice. If you do nothing, people die, but as a result of circumstances outside of your control. That's just the natural course of events that would have happened anyway. However, if you pull the lever, whoever dies is now a _direct_ result of your actions. You lose the ability to claim no involvement, and you are now explicitly a murderer. Now, some people argue choosing to take no action to save the people on the first track is as bad as killing them yourself, but this line of thinking gets _real_ bad when you apply it to more complex situations. Regardless of your interpretation of the the morality of inaction, it shouldn't be skipped over entirely.

To clarify a bit more on the trolley problem, for those who are unaware (I imagine most people are) If you are placed in a situation where there's 5 people on a track and you can switch it to kill the one person, you are not legally liable for the lives of the 5 people if you choose to do nothing (unless you're specifically an employee, but the idea of the trolley problem is that you're just a random passerby), but it's technically considered murder if you deliberately switch the track to kill the 1 person instead, or at the very least manslaughter That's the basis of the original trolley problem. You can let 5 people die and get away scott free, or you can let 1 person die and get in trouble for it I mean there's some ethical stuff to, like "should you be the one who gets to decide who lives and dies", but for me it's the prison sentence that gets to me

The argument to not do it is found in Kantianism. Basically follow moral principle, in this case do not kill. By pulling the lever you directly impact the situation. If you dont pull it you have not intervened. This would be the argument I believe.

The only time a Trolley Problem felt effective was in the video game Prey (the one from 2016) The entire game's theme is the trolley problem, and it's executed in a neat way, first you take it as a psychological test, but then the rest of the game forces you to actually be in that position. It's pretty neat, and never actually made me think how hard it would be to sacrifice a few people you care about for "the many." We can always say that we'd do the absolute virtuous and right thing all the time, hell I went to school with a guy who actually thought he could stop a school shooter with his bare hands. But humans make mistakes, and panic, and go into shock. So we can never really say or predict what we would do in that situation.

True. To be fair this video isn’t supposed to be taken seriously. There are other youtubers who actually talk about the different moral worldviews that guide peoples choices and they get into philosophical concepts aswell. This video is no where near serious. No critical analysis is even given.

Not pulling the lever means you’re not responsible for their deaths since you didn’t do anything, which means you won’t be held accountable for something that you didn’t do

15:20 okay so here's an actual justification. 5 people today can have kids, their kids can have kids, and so on. Those 5 people today can potentially turn into way more than 5 people in 100 years, where as the 5 people in 100 years will just be 5 people. Pulling the lever kills 5 people, where as not pulling the lever kills 5 people and denies the opportunity for several other lives to even happen in the following 100 years until the trolley would have killed 5 people.

For the traditional trolley problem, there are a lot more factors than minimizing death. For example, if you pull the lever the courts could put you at fault for their deaths, therefore convicting you of a death and unlawful use of government materials. But if you let the 5 people die, you can’t be convicted of anything.
