  • Extreme Trolley Problems Transcript: Skip to x time slot if you want to get straight into the video but first we hit 5k so ill be doing a minority/ethinicity reveal, a lot of you guessed phillipino/ east Asian and im guessing that’s because I said I was called both an Indian and Chinese slur maybe I kinda threw you off a bit by doing that but Im actually ethnically Persian for atleast like 10 generations in my family and because of that I probably have some Mongolian from Genghis khan in me which is where you might be able to see the east asianness. Heres what an average persian man looks like…. Hmmm that doesn’t actually look like me, Ill do a real face reveal at 25k subs which should be a few months at least and ill show you what a I mean. But yea im persian which no one actually guessed lol. Ok back to the video. The trolley problem is a moral dilemma in which a speeding trolley is heading down the tracks but you are able to pull a lever to divert the trolley onto a nearby track, the fun in the game is that there will often be people or things on the tracks and you have to decide what you will save and what you will let die. The most basic example is the 3 people on the track 1 and 1 person on track 2, the moral dilemma in this trolley problem is, should you intervene and kill someone by your choices to save another two lives? Let me just say that the answer is obviously yes pull the lever and if you disagree you are a spineless coward. So those are the standard boring ones which teach you about morality and your inner being and other boring shit today we are looking at extreme versions of the trolley problem. Like for example we have the exact same scenario as the first one but this time you have to step on a puppy's paw to pull the lever and the puppy will be really sad about it and you cant explain to him why you had to step on his paw. I would probably still pull the lever but id actually feel bad about it this time and to signify this for the rest of the video we will be accompanied by this really sad dog that has a sore paw. Ok ok ok easy right? now Our next scenario is we have a normal dude who is there against his will on track 1 and on track 2 5 people who willingly tied themselves to the track in order to be run over by the trolley , do you pull the lever to kill the 5 men who want to die and save the innocent man or do you do nothing and end up saving 4 more lives, the reductionists among you might struggle here as its more complicated than just maximising lives saved. Oh and btw there is a right answer to all these trolley problems anyone who guesses the exact same answers that I do will get some idk stoic points or something maybe we will have them be redeemable in the future, but ill just say the answers I choose may not always align with what I animate in order to keep it interesting. Locked in your answers? Alright cool. Lets step it up a notch, on track 1 a newborn baby who will live for 28,385 days which is an average lifetime or on track 2 we have 28,385 baby boomers who have only 1 day left to live. So do you kill 30k boomers so that one person can live a full life or do you believe that the collective experiences of the boomers in one day outweighs the entire lifetime of the baby? Personally, even if we gave the boomers 28k days id still choose track 2, and that’s a freebie from me. I could make a full-length video about why boomers are a problem and my personal solution to make it better for everyone and no it doesn’t entail genociding boomers it is actually a lot more tasteful. Next, we have a cyclist on track 1 and a vegan on track 2, do you pull the lever? Wrong trick question you press the secret button under the lever and initiate multi-track drifting to take them both out at the same time. Okay, this one is for the quantum physics nerds and gamblers out there, we have 1 box on each track and there is one cat and it can be in either box, I know which box the cat is in but you don’t so do you trust your instincts to be able to correctly guess which box has the cat in it? (MEOW) as I said would you be able to correctly guess which box the cat in? Are you sure its in track 1 ? you can still change your mind if you would like. Okay track 1 it is. Lets have a look under the boxes. My mind blown there was no cat in either box and just a recorder which plays

    4:20 I have already imagined a hypothetical third box which is confirmed to not have a cat in it, therefore by the Monty Hall principle my current default option only has a 1 in 3 chance of containing a cat while the non-default "last remaining" option of flipping the switch now has a 2 in 3 chance of containing a cat. I do not throw the switch.

  • @SlurMaster9000

    My favorite: There is 1 person on the track, but if you pull the lever, it will go to another fork in the road with another person at the lever and 2 people on the track. If he pulls it, the trolley goes to another fork with 3 people, etc., on to infinity. Do you pull the lever, indirectly causing a potentially infinite number of deaths that are technically some other guy's fault, or just let the guy die?

    Mathematically our two choices outcomes of the grandma one are between
    100 units*chance of 1 = 100
    And
    100 units*chance of 0.05 - 100 units*chance of 0.95 = - 85
    So statistically its a horrible choice to gamble your grandmas pension is you consider yourself on the same team

    My answer is 1. I would sacrifice myself to stop the trolly 2. ( cause no one accepts that answer ) I walk away and refuse to be income in the taking of anyone’s life, I know this still leads to a death, but I don’t count myself as doing it, let someone else take my place

    The answere to this problem is simple and always the same:
    Do nothing !!! Why ??? It´s because of how laws are working.
    Use the tricker means YOU are responsible for people dying => You are technical a murder => Prison.
    Do nothing means someone else is responsible and you are NOT in prison.

    Actually, there is no "Secret button" on a track switch to do that. If you really wanna do track drifting, you keep the switch in the same position until half of the trolley has passed over it, THEN you switch.
