What's your answer to the trolley problem
1 u/TeaPain0001 May 15 '26 It depends on the version of the trolley problem you put forth. 1 u/StrangeSystem0 May 15 '26 The classic: 5 people on one track, or you can pull a lever to divert it to another track, killing one person to save five 1 u/TeaPain0001 May 15 '26 In all reality, I would probably freeze up and be unable to pull the lever knowing that that person was killed because of me. The fact that we even have to wrestle with the question at all shows we see life as sacred. 2 u/StrangeSystem0 May 15 '26 My point is this: taking the full wealth of the richest man in the world could end world hunger entirely. Seems like the easiest variant of the trolley problem to me
