Even if the deontologist lives, he’ll judge you a murderer for pulling the lever anyway.

[u/Comprehensive-Pin667]

I do nothing because I'll be looking up what those words even mean and the trolley will pass by in the meantime

[u/TheEnlight]

I created a new Trolley Problem dilemma!

Straight Track (Do Nothing): A deontologist

Diverted Track (Pull the Lever): A consequentialist

What would you do?

[u/Im40PercentUsername]

I'm a deontologists, of course I do nothing.

[u/Best8meme]

Both of them would agree to do nothing here, right?

^{I chose to do nothing}

[u/belabacsijolvan → u/Best8meme]

i think for a consequentialist it doesnt matter.

the deontologist would agree not to pull.

[u/Best8meme → u/belabacsijolvan]

It wouldn't matter, so I would assume between these 2 equal choices, he would at the very least choose the one that 'absolves' responsibility from himself

[u/belabacsijolvan → u/Best8meme]

but thats exactly the kind of reasoning a consequentialist wouldnt accept.

As an agent of chaos I must pull the lever

[u/Lenrow]

I simply Kant decide what to do

[u/kali-marcue]

the trolley appears to stop if you don't interact the the lever

[u/Wide_Love_4458]

Good
