minus-square@Famkolink5•3 hours agoThere’s the additional risk of being shot in your example, so I’d reckon that less people would try to take the gun in this case compared to the trolley problem.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink0•46 minutes agoTheres also risk that you would get hurt helping in the other examples I gave. Also a random by stander would have no idea what flipping a switch would do, it could derail the train and kill more than are on either track. The situation in the trolley problem isnt realistic, and it definitely isnt simple or settled. Its an interesting thought experiment though.
