    I’m just wondering why Tyrone, a man who claims to have a severe phobia of trains, would stand on a bridge over a train track with a train coming for the full 45 seconds you have to make the choice. This man is not who he says he is.

    • @biteingcobra363
      @biteingcobra363 Год назад +2

      This at the time was and likely still is a major moral decision as it would indeed lead to the experiments and treatments for aids prevention we have now allowing millions including my own uncle to live for those hopeful lives to die. It’s difficult as making sure they were happy would’ve likely caused them more pain with the treatment at the time but they wouldn’t have false hope. (The patients shared the working drug regardless and yes it may not have impeded progress but this was newer territory at the time so many professionals would likely have preferred to check all potentials) regardless, It’s rough and still applies to vaccines to this day especially with the recent COVID pandemic. It’s chilling to consider and think about too deeply.

    Okay I'll be honest I was really confused at the vaccination one because I thought they were saying that the 1 in 5 chance to make the children ill was greater than the actual presence of the disease in the population, since it said "much worse than the virus itself." So I'll have an "I need to learn how to read" with a side of "I'm a heccin moron" if nobody minds.

    • @GBDupree
      @GBDupree 2 года назад

      No, that's exactly what it said, the disease may be anywhere from 1-in-6 to 1-in-no one else gets sick, but the vaccine is guaranteed to be 1-in-5 or worse. "the 'cure' is worse than the disease" is a common moral issue brought up IRL. The only moral reason brought up that I'm aware of for forcing it without consent is that "their deaths lead to research". However, there is a chance the vaccine, being so new and barely tested, could potentially cause the virus to mutate and become deadlier rather than actually fight it off. So, there isn't any reason to actually do it unless you work for the corporations that make bank off the sickness. Of course, in reality, even if they didn't force it just one person willingly taking it can doom the rest as the vaccine spreads just as easily as most viruses.
      Despite how clear this issue should be, most people still prefer to take the drugs because of placebo effect, it may actually make them sicker, or cause more deaths than the virus, BUT they were assured it'd help so they feel more relaxed and assume things are improving. And the doctors have something to give patients rather than sitting around telling them there is nothing they can do because they haven't found a cure they can profit off of. Which in turn improves morale among the doctors as they otherwise would have no way of helping their patients calm down.

Note also that by flipping two levers you have to change the sum by 2. Note that if they are all to the left, the sum would be 0. After each move, you will still have an odd sum and therefore you can never get it to 0

    Ok, I'm going to be honest here, the organ problem is just a version of the second half the trolly problem that someone actually thought about, because it can't be completely destroyed by just asking "how".
    However, I do like how this game just overall takes how stupid every single varient of the trolly problem is and ramps it up to 10 once trollys are ditched and "real" applications of the problem are involved. Like, Dash continually calling out how the Binary options start to make no sense really feels like the intended reaction here, cause, like, it is dumb as hell to look at two binary options and decide you have to take one instead of looking into other options.
    (Especially since we did that during the AIDS epidemic, and not only did it backfire (patents shared working drugs amoung themselves because holy fuck, no one wants to die), but it also *didn't impede progress at all to save everyone* because *not every fucking scenario needs a control group*.)
    That being said I'm glad y'all went with the funny options cause they're funny as shit.

    Ah yes, the classic wayfaring stranger dilemma. Someone who has no idea what’s going on can be killed “for the greater good” and they have no connections in the area. The thing that separates this from the trolly problem is that they would have nothing to do with the situation if nobody forced them to.
    If you want to take a random passerby’s organs then get yourself an x-ray, you probably could find some in there… maybe even a heart! The original one I heard is about getting a scapegoat to appease a mob so this chance won’t come every time.

    It's not possible! We can see this by a parity argument: suppose we have 2 levers in the left and 1 in the right. No matter which 2 we choose, we will still have an even number of levers in the left position (so either 2 left and 1 right or 0 left and 3 right). Therefore it's not possible to have all 3 levers in the left position.

    I played this before watching and my morals typically were about were people accepting some level of risk in their actions like, I'm not gonna push Tyrone in front of the trolley cause the 5 people on the track accepted some level of risk by being on the track, same for Polly but if both people are at the same level of danger, like in the classic trolley problem, I switch the track, they're both on the track and have accepted the risk of being hit by the trolley EDIT: I love what Jacob says when he gets to the prisoners dilemma cause it's the exact same as my moral principles, "Every time I'm in a situation like this I always want to trust the best in people and it has screwed me over constantly and I'm willing to do it again" like I know from a game theory perspective you should always betray but I trust people to be good and I rather do that and get screwed over than screw someone over because I didn't believe in them

You can argue that cars are the invasive species, that by stepping behind the wheel you're accepting responsibility for your two-ton hulking brick of death, but no one will buy the car that kills the payer instead of the pedestrian. No one will fund the research, making it not a question of "is this right" but rather "do you want self-driving cars at all? coward."

    lmao I love that it took Dash Jo and Jacob THREE abortion questions to understand they're being quizzed on their opinions of abortion. The violinist problem is an argument over forced abortion: The violinist would die without you, but in 9 months he could be on his own, but you'd have to give up 9 months of your life for that to happen. The original problem is "the violinist is hooked up to someone else in a coma, but suddenly they wake up and wish to live their life. They demand you unhook the violinist from them, but doing so would kill the violinist. Do you force them to keep the violinist alive for 9 months, after which let them go?" which is the "Can you force someone to carry a child and not abort?"
    Following, the "You were drugged and now there's a tenant" argues for drunken accidental pregnancies, one could argue rape by lack of conscience.
    Lastly, FINALLY they get they're talking about abortion, "The baby will kill you if you carry it. Kill you, or kill the baby?" The argument, obviously, is "I can always have another baby."

The most sensible utilitarian thing to do would actually be to kill one of the organ recipients and use their working organs to save the other 4. Of the 6 people, 5 survive, and the only person who died would have died anyway, unlike the option to kill a random healthy person.
