Some people would rather let the train run over 5 people instead of 1, just so their own hands stay "technically clean"...
Strange to brag about being cool with being an active murderer.
Active saviour.
Why do act utilitarians pretend that there's is the only valid ethical system? Why are they ignorant that the very laws of your country aren't written according to the ethical system you claim is the only valid one?
I am not a utilitarian at all.
I happen to agree with Utilitarians in this case, but overall I see their attempt to reduce ethics to a maths problem as childish and immature.
That's an odd way to spell "I have no morals to stand on".
edit: The person above also clearly doesn't understand the purpose of the Trolly Problem. It's a thought-experiment to show whether you agree with consequentialist or deontologist ethics. Even thought the former is in vouge, the Trolly problem isn't itself an argument against deontology.
Deontologist ethics are a bunch of nonsense that I have little respect for, somehow even less so than for Utilitarians.
Not flipping the switch, aka not voting for the lesser evil, shows you consider the cleanliness of your own conscience more important than any actual real consequences in the world. It is a disgustingly self-centered stance to take : you had a chance to make the world less of a bad place, you didn't. You made the wrong choice.
Also, if you're going to stoop to ad hominem, you should at least check your spelling. It's "Vogue" not "Vouge", and "Trolley" not "Trolly".
Why not just vote on the lesser evil and try to change the system for the better even outside of election season?
Why choose very hard mode over hard mode?
