Just wanted to share this. JESUS CHRIST died for you on a cross for our sins. 3 days after his death he resurrected and always was, still is, and forevermore the one and only TRUE LIVING GOD. In a prayer repent from your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and also ask for the HOLY SPIRIT to come into you in that same prayer as well. Have FAITH in CHRIST. You could come to Jesus Christ as you are, but once you accept Him, you are new, and are born again. Turn away from all wicked ways. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. God Bless You. Praise only be to God. JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK SOON.

The trolley getting legs is a nice reference to the Fallout 3's metro train, which was basically a very very fast running NPC with the train as a helmet. It was a workaround so they didn't actually had to develop a working train.

They already made a game about philosophy, "Trolley Problem Inc", and it's very good. A sarcastic narrator points out the error in your choices. Whatever you pick! It covers the problems, and the point behind them, as well as their failings, well. It's very well footnoted, only a shame you can't click on the footnotes and read the original source, but they're mostly copyrighted books so fair enough. It's a couple of years old, very well made, and very funny. There's a dark, overarching plot to it. I'd definitely recommend playing it. About 8 quid to buy. The narrator is Jan Ravens btw, they paid for a proper actress, she does a lot of satirical type stuff on TV shows.

14:17 That's not the Prisoners' Dilemma. The payoffs are wrong. When either player talks, the total time imprisoned (sum of both people) has to increase while that player's time has to decrease.

14:16 Prisoner's dilemma works like this: 1: If you both cooperate both of you get say 2 years of prison(Not 0, we'll see why later) 2: If you both defect both of you get say 5 years 3: If one of you cooperates and the other defects, the cooperator gets say 10 years and the defector is set free This is a dilemma because if you cooperate your opponent would like to defect, but then you would also like to defect, even though it would be better to both cooperate. In the game's case, this is sort of a dilemma because your opponent sees no reason to defect if you cooperate, but if he does defect you would like to defect, even though it would be better if both cooperated.

LOL, I can't get over the fact that the tracks on the trolley problem are wrong.. like that's not how track switches work, both the diverging rails for the siding come off of the bottom rail instead of each rail diverging. So whether you switch it or not that shit is going to derail and no one will be harmed in either case. :P

[@hippiedude2232]

"the trolly has legs now?" If i didn't know any better id say this is an add for what the car.

[@xX_Gravity_Xx]

1:14 The logical thing to do is to flip the switch and then attempt to move the guy tied to the tracks. Even if it is impossible for you to make it to save the person, your odds were _always_ better having to save one person instead of five. One thing that always bothered me about this scenario though, is that it is improbable, and ignores all of the real world consequences for such a scenario. If someone is tied to a track and there is a train coming, flipping the switch could derail the train, sending it hurling at everyone, and doing far more damage than the untimely deaths of five people. Moreover, you also have to consider that maybe warning the operator of the vehicle ahead of time is the most reasonable option, another option that is never presented. Idk. I feel like the entire conflict of this scenario is in the distinct lack of details, and the extremely linear options you're given as a means of solving the problem. If it were this exact scenario, with a small trolley, and I didn't have time to warn the operator, as implied, I'd flip the switch and attempt to move the guy as I stated, however, without knowing the full picture, the best option cannot really be known.

[@yawis8925]

The first propblem is kind of interesting for me. The way i see it is that, if you dont choose to pull the lever, you made the active decision not to and murdered the 5 poeple. even if you were not involved. i see it as an active decision not to help. pulling the lever to make the trolley hit the 1 person is an active decision too, with the only diffrence being that you pulled a switch, while by the other you didnt. Just like Negan said in TWD. "Not making a decision, is a biiiiiig decision."

As a thinker myself I would love to argue about the first "challenge". I mean you ARE involved in both scenarios, because you have two choices.

And by not doing anything at all you chose to do so, ergo you actually did do something.😂🤯

An engineer died and was accidentally sent to hell instead of heaven. He got to work and fixed the A/C and things cooled down quickly. The moving walkway motor was jammed so he unjammed it. The TV was grainy and unclear. He repaired the connection to the satellite dish and now pulled in hundreds of high def channels. One day God decided to look down on Hell to see how his grand design as working out and noticed everyone was happy and enjoying umbrella drinks. He phoned Satan and said, “What the hell’s going on in Hell?” Satan replied, "Things are great down here since you sent us that engineer." "What? An engineer? I never would have sent you one of those, that must have been a mistake. Send him back up right this minute,” demanded God. "No way!” Satan snorted. “We’re going to keep our engineer. We like this guy." “If you don't send him to me immediately I'll sue!" God shouted. The devil laughed long and heartily and then said, “Really? Where are YOU going to get a lawyer?”
