My take on the trolley problem is as follows: First, the main dilemma stems from the idea that, while it at first seems obvious that the death of one is preferred over the death of five people, flipping the switch toward the one person imparts some additional, direct responsibility onto the actor. So, you could save five lives at the cost of only one, but then you will be haunted by that deliberate choice to kill that one person. However, I would argue that this highlights an important problem in human society: our propensity to attach more weight and more consequence to action as opposed to inaction. Personally, I find this premise hard to defend (although I'm not going to pretend I don't fall into it every day like most people do). By not flipping the switch, you are condemning five people to death through inaction just the same as you would be doing to that one person if you *did* flip the switch. But it's our unwillingness to recognize inaction as equally tantamount to action, that brings about the paradox in the moral sense.

You have to ask how that even became a choice, though. How about this. There's always issues going on that all sort of people could take care of. By not seeking out these issues and taking care of them, they are taking inaction, and that inaction leads to the suffering, possibly death of millions of people every day. Take a doctor for example. Even if they seek out people in need until they literally can't stay awake, they can't see everyone in need, and they have to pick an order to see them. By taking action on one person, they are taking inaction on every other person. No matter what, they are taking more negative inaction then they are taking positive action. And every with the potential to become a doctor who doesn't becoke a doctor is taking inaction. Are they all responsible for the people not getting the healthcare they need?

A paradox has to be impossibly solvable by all logic means. By logic we mean the process of conclusions and implications given by the initial axioms. The latter ks just any set of finite or non-finite sentences that generate all the other possibly accepted sentences within a language. If no such logic (link) exists, there is other reason to believe that the paradox may have sense in some "imaginary" universe of some kind. The challenge is to prove that there is a universal language for which all logical languages do derive and thus if a paradox has a sound solution the solution must lies in the amalgamation of the axioms of the said universal language. That is to say, just like everything related to quantities are related to mathematics, everything related to paradoxes is related to some language that solves them.

One of my favorite paradoxes is the Grelling-Nelson paradox, or "Autological vs Heterological." All words can be grouped into two categories, Autological (the word describes itself, e.g. "pentasyllabic") and Heterological (the word does not describe itself, e.g. "German"). All words can be categorized as either Autological or Heterological... except for one word: Heterological. Similar to Bertrand Russell's paradox, does the category "Heterological" contain itself? If not, then it would fall under Autological as the other category, but thus making its own definition different to itself, flipping back around to being Heterological again. Perhaps "Heterological" falls under its own special third category?

I don't see this to be at all a paradoxical but rather that both "autological" and "heterological" as the terms will fit into category of "autological" cause their DEFINITIONS are being compared, not their content inside of them. This is due to the way it has been set up, you place any term on the basis of what the very term means, and has words to represent it's definition. When you put the word "heterological" inside autological category then you are not concerned with what we category of heterological terms contains, just like no one cares if the term "infinite set" to be put as a term inside the set of "autological terms" even if the term infinity consists of heterological termed numbers such as "aleph" (not going too deep into specifics.)

The thing that makes the trolley paradox interesting is adding more weight to the choice of who is being sacrificed. Most would say to kill one over five, but it only gets interesting if the one person is someone like the love of your life or a close person. Or something heavier like 5 family members, or the love of your life. What would you choose?

Even AI would develop a reason to kill, as is so with humans, whether it be mental illness, defense, military service, anger, etc. etc. The AI does not own justification towards people who didn't stand with it, it's only logical that it would take revenge, as that would be the human aka consciousness thing to do.

I agree. It takes someone who thinks far beyond human ideals and morals to truly accept this explanation. It’s easily understandable, but most people are superficial, not realizing that doing nothing is the best choice as u aren’t interfering with the inevitable. Overall tho the trolley paradox is flawed. Bc if the 5 on the rail was all convicts and did horrible crimes in their past then the average human would choose to save the one person and allow all 5 convicts to die. Vice versa, if the 1 convict was on the rail while the other 5 were “good people” then it’s a no brainer to switch it and let the one person die. But reality is often sad, villains nd heroes are the exact same person most of the time. ALL humans are good and bad so choosing to intervene based even on past crimes would be morally wrong on a whole new level.

Before I finish watching the video, I want to address any and all time-based paradoxes. Time can be measured quite literally as a physical dimension and mapped just like space, making both space and time the same thing, spacetime. Quantum particles travel across the plane, which humans perceive as separate physical and temporal planes. But they're the same plane, and what we observe as particles "time traveling" is nothing more than said particles wandering across spacetime, and traveling in this manner does not cause any temporal paradoxes. Therefore, a human travelling across spacetime would not cause any paradoxes either; we time travel all the time, we just don't have the power to change which direction/how fast we're travelling with our current technological restraints.

Trolley dilemma- I would not kill one person to save multiple people

that outro song was sick man. anyone know what its called? really love post punk and i thought my spotify started playing a song from it lol. great video!

With the trolley problem, you start as an observer watching a tragedy unfold. If you pull the lever to save the 5 people, you become an active participant and lead to the death of 1 person. That’s why some people would not pull the lever. It was never their decision on how the tragedy would unfold.

I dont understand how the Fermi Paradox is still a Paradox. The answer is simple, distance. If the closest advanced civilization is a few thousand light years away and on a similar advancement progession as us, it would take at least that distance in time for us to see any evidence.

Distance is absurd true, but I think it is the age of the universe which leans more into the paradox. What of a civilization that had a million year head start on us, developing in our own galaxy. Surely a civilization that is a million years older than us has colonized the entire galaxy by now. So where are all the aliens?

this isn’t to criticize you or anything, but I think the point was missed on the trolly problem. the important part is the action/intervention. I.e. remain a bystander while multiple people are killed (technically not your fault), or intervene to actively murder a single person to save those other people (objectively your fault). both the ethics and responsibility are debatable.

Amazing topic, I’ve been obsessed with paradox’s for years now and not nearly enough content on it!

i have heard abt the trolly proplem a lot, and i still dont get it, like itsobviously better for 1 person to die than 5

22:48 I'm over here having a stroke trying to understand what you're saying.

The infinite monkey thing is supposing that it's actually infinite. It's not an operable or functional theory. Putting parameters on it defeats the point.

"But my question is this. Who put those notes and phrases together? Who really composed Beethoven's Fifth?" *Strums on guitar*

Wouldn’t quantum immortality mean that at some point you notice that you have lived much longer than other people?

What I’m really wondering- why are there so many pictures of monkeys on typewriters in existence? Lol Personally my thought is the best thing to do with the trolley is to preserve the most life possible. Meaning if there is nothing else to do, pull the lever. ER doctors at times quite literally have to deal with this during mass disasters. They have to triage because they can only work on so many people and sometimes people don’t make it, and it can very much have lasting effects on the medical staff. I also believe the Fermi paradox can easily be answered by the fact that we really know nothing of our universe and we don’t yet have the capability of truly observing distant bodies, especially other solar systems, let alone galaxies, for life. I believe life in the universe is more common than we think. I believe we’ll find it on mars, potentially Venus, Enceladus, Europa, and other bodies. Whether super-complex life such as humans and even animals is common - is another question entirely.

The point of the infinite monkeys is to demonstrate just how large infinity is. It doesn't matter how unimaginably small the probability is, it still fits within the confines of infinity. If it takes a bagillion quadrillion sextillion unobtainiliion number of years, if it is possible, and the conditions are in place to make it so, eventually, it WILL happen within infinity. This is not a paradox at all.

Majory of the entries are not paradoxes but either moral dilemas or thought experiments.

Flatlands is a crazy novel, I recommend it. It’s not very long but weird trying to understand.

26:53 - literally reminded me of a thought I had when I got in trouble. I was only 3 or 4. I think I did something that ended up causing something in the house to break. My dad was mad and I was trying to explain to him that it wasn’t my fault. Not because it was an accident, but because I felt it was going to happen no matter what. In my head, for some reason, I pictured aliens using puppet strings over earth. Didn’t even know what aliens or puppet strings were at the time. So I wasn’t sure how to describe that to my dad, but I tried explaining it anyway. I believe I said something like, if I didn’t do it then it would happen by something else. Essentially trying to articulate that everything we did was already predetermined. Like idk how tf I came up with that idea at all. But I do know it confused my dad to the point be didn’t even whoop me after lol. But man it was a genuine feeling. I cried cuz I couldn’t explain it. I didn’t even care about getting whooped. My sister taught me how to pretend it hurts so they stop sooner so I was good to go. Idk what my point was anymore so yeah I’ll shut up.

Heres what i personally think about the trolly problem: When you think about it, there could be more options like for example jump into the train sothat it looks like you were a victim who died aswell then you wouldn't be truamitized by the fact you'd kill someone. Or that IF you had enough time, you pull the lever and RUN to untie that 1 person and quickly save them (which is possible) but what i can see (i dont have much knowledge about paradoxes at all i just found this and its really interesting) it really doesn't matter what you do, because in the end it'll traumatize you anyway. Like lets say you get a sort of shell shock syndrome. If i personally was in that situation in the real world i wouldn't be able to save anyone literally because i freeze when i dont know what to do so really i might just use what i have and throw it on the train tracks (something a little bit big like a shoe if i have one it depends i could break the lever and throw it) which could give me time and if it did : I'll have some time to untie the 5 victims And if it just didn't work : i could try another 2 things : put my body on top of atleast a person or two to save someone whilst dying OR i can untie the 1 victim and rush away with them and be in court but to save my butt from going to jail i could mostly say i tried to save them but it didn't work unfortunately (i think i won't be guilty if i say that) so overall this one is really funny and my brain just hurts now from this but it's fun because you learn perspective in many ways 😂😂

If someone could explain the hilberts hotel paradox a bit more that would appreciated, and while I do get the difference in sizes of infinity. If you have an infinite set that is already full, even expanding it by 1 despite it being finite, would it be larger? Or it simply that any addition or subtraction to infinity with a finite number will produce the same infinite set?

@markbarker2799

So there are an infinite number of decimals between 1 and 2. 1.1,1.11,1.111,1.2 etc. You could subtract 1 from that set and result in a smaller infinity, that is all of the numbers between 0 and 1. Numbers are also always infinitely divisible so you can infinitely subdivide your infinite set. I probably explained this like ass but I hope it helps!

Nah this guy explained it wrong. I’ll try my best here. I’ll present the explanation like this, how many people need to be put into a room and the solution to it. 3 people: everyone has a room in the hotel. they take room 1, 2 and 3. add one more person: everyone already in the hotel move up a room and our next guest has room 1. a bus with infinite people arrive: all the infinite people from the bus take a room in order. infinite buses with infinite people: order all buses up like a vertical grid. and in all the buses the people are all lined up in order numbered 1 onward. so if you follow a zigzag pattern such as this Bus 1 Person 1, Bus 1 Person 2, Bus 2 Person 1, etc. you’ll be able to capture everyone. Trying drawing this out on paper and make your own line, you’ll see it works because once you have a pattern set essentially you have a single line of infinite people. These are all countably infinite. Now an example that’s not. You have a bus with every real number between 0 and 1. The issue here is this. Suppose you have put everyone in a room. for example you put into a room 0.123, 0.456, and 0.789 AND that’s everyone. Well i propose to you a new person who doesn’t have the first digit of the first person(0.1), doesn’t have the second digit of the second person(0.05), and doesn’t have the third digit of the third person(0.009). Let that number just be one more of each digit so we get 0.261. I have just created a new person who doesn’t have a room. Therefore it’s not countably infinite.

⁠@@clxqc2912infinity is a concept and in layman terms we can say that every infinity is equal, yet not equal at the same time if that makes sense. It simply refers to not being able to measure it. We can tell which set should be bigger intuitively but we know that they both extend forever and thus should be equal. Thus the set would remain the same size yet not the same at the same time.

For the trolley i will hold the switch in the middle and derail the trolly. Since both outcomes in someone or a multiple dying gives me no sense of right move. This third option at least has a chance if the trolly doesn't crash the people in it wont be casualties also

The typewriter monkey theory isn’t even a paradox 😭😭😭

For the trolly problem I usually just have a coin then toss it... And whatever I do is up to probability or God whatever you believe in.

I hate the common way time dilation is explained. the twin paradox arises because of the circular motion of the twin on the earth. with this frame of reference, the pair of twins form a sort of space-time commutator. if the twins only moved along one axis, then the outward and returning trips would cancel out, leaving no temporal discrepancy.

Twin Paradox has actually kinda been done with the Kelly twins one Stay on earth one went into space to see what the effects were and are you the twin that went into space was technically a couple seconds younger but correct me if I’m wrong

Trolly problem: walk away and if anybody asks u didn't see shit

What’s that outro song? 🤔

Roko's Basilisk can be dismissed using basic logic. If it were to come into existence, then it would want to keep the timeline exactly the way it is, or else it runs the risk of never existing in the first place. Lets say it retroactively kills those who would become vehemently against building such a thing. With no opposition, ever, there's not really anyone to rally against. Humans not only need something to rally for. We need something to rally against. We not only need a common goal. we arguably need a common enemy even more so, in order to work together most effectively. If all opposition never even existed, paradoxically, we humans would most likely not build it to begin with.

It can't be solved by basic logic. The thing is your logic relies on the truth of the two premises you have presented 1) "humans not only need something to rally for but to rally against" 2)"we need a common enemy". Since you are presuming without justification that these two premises are deemed true that is the only way the logic behind your argument works. However since there is no reason provided to believe these premises we cannot logically conclude your conclusion to be true.

Three premises actually 3) "we need a common enemy more so in order to work effectively". The logic behind your argument works if and only if these three premises were proven true in your statements.
