You’ve probably heard of the Trolley Problem, especially if you’re at all interested in philosophy or ethics. Lately, it’s been a subject of discussion when discussing autonomous cars and was referenced explicitly in the show The Good Place.
Some people think it’s a fun moral thought experiment to discuss in a group. Others feel it’s a good ethical workout to prepare for real-world ethical dilemmas. But what if the Trolley Problem has a problem of its own?

    People of the internet, now that you've watched such a great and well-made video, I'm here to tell you what you should do if the trolley problemm scenario happens in real life! It's very simple: You need to pull the lever and divert tracks when the trolley is on top of the thing that diverts tracks (Dunno the name). If done correctly, the front of the trolley will go in one direction, and the back in the other direction, effectively causing the trolley to stop. (You risk making the trolley fall out of the rails and harm the passengers. Doing a tokyo drift and getting the max amount of kills may also happen). This practice is done in real life when trian people need to stop a train because reasons

    The fact that real-life dilemmas are more complex than the Trolley Problem isn't the point. The point is that our inability to _solve_ the Trolley Problem suggests we don't understand ethics well enough to reliably code them into AIs.

    Alternatively, it also suggests ethics are so grey in certain situations that it doesn't matter that much. People just feel more comfortable knowing a human was at fault instead of a machine. It doesn't make it morally better. If an AI is driving a car and has literally no other option but to fatally injure a granny or the passenger(s), how would a human in the same situation be better ethically? The outcomes will be bad regardless and neither is ethically better from the other. I think people over-philosophize ethics and AI. The real problem is how to treat this legally.

    Ironically, you think you’ve understood it so much that you don’t. It was simply a thought-problem that shows that ethics aren’t objective-or at least, we as a society don’t have enough agreement on what is “good” or “bad” to quantify and objectify them. AI applications are an extension of that, sure, but the bigger problems with it come elsewhere in our general legal and judicial systems, as well as in society making judgements as a whole, both on our contemporaries, as well as on those from the past.

    Is has also been used to show irrationality in our ethical decision making. A study shows that there were a lot of people who would pull the lever. However, when an alternative was presented, instead of having a lever you could push a Fatman off a bridge that would stop the train, many people said they wouldn't. Additionally, those who answered they would to both were found to take more time answering the Fatman question, indicating that some people judge ethics based of immediate emotional responses (the group who pulled the lever but didn't push the fat man) and some people judge ethics based of logical reasoning (the people who judged the two situations to be equivalent and answered the same in both)

    @@ClementinesmWTF What do you mean by "you think you've understood it so much that you don't"? Nothing I said contradicts what you said; I was just objecting to the argument that, because the Trolley Problem is a simplified thought experiment, its lessons are irrelevant to real-world concerns. That being said, I _do_ object to your claim that the Trolley Problem "shows that ethics aren't objective" --- it does no such thing. At best, it shows the difficulty of defining objective standards of ethics, and illustrates the weaknesses of our attempts thus far. But the jury is still out as far as I am concerned as to whether it is possible to devise an objective ethical foundation.

    The problem with the problem is that it’s often problematized. But the problem with the problem that’s problematized is that it’s problematic. And the problem with the problematic problem is that it leads to more problems. So, the problem with the problem that’s problematic and leads to more problems is that it perpetuates a cycle of problematicity. Yet, the problem with this cycle of problematicity is that it’s difficult to pinpoint a solution. Consequently, the problem with attempting to solve the problem with the problem is that it introduces even more complexity. Thus, the problem with the attempt to solve the problem with the problem that’s problematic and leads to more problems is that it’s an endless loop of problem-solving that never quite reaches a definitive resolution. And therein lies the problem with the problem with the problem with the problem about the problem that is all about the trolley problem.

In our light-headed youth we carry blithe ideas, not knowing what blows await, what hardships are bearing down, closer and closer.

    He also wouldn't have known love or joy to be near them if they had never been born. Negative emotion does not erase positive emotion; it's not some existential calculus where you determine the value of living by the net total amount of suffering compared to non-suffering. Joy is derived from the awareness of its possibility just as much as the spontaneity of it. To never be born is to not understand this at all, is to not have known the lows or highs or the middles in between. You can say it us better to not be born at all, but I disagree. It is better to live and understand the full spectrum of living, as a means to experience and sensualize. It is better to know hate and love in conjunction than to know neither.

I don't imagine a scenario wherein you can experience only positive emotion constantly and have any context for why that's a good thing. What you're saying is devoid of any meaning, seeing as how you can't choose to revert being born, or to stop living within a physical body without doing harm to that body. Perhaps carrying negative responses to the environment through your death allows those responses to perpetuate themselves within your consciousness even after death. The only real solution, then, is to accept the horrors of life, and to choose to respond to them with hope and love. Even if it seems futile. No one ever claims that it's easy or simple. That doesn't mean bleak pessimism is the true realistic viewpoint to filter thought through.

    I believe ive found the way to be infinitely happy. I know it sounds obvious but, enjoy the simplicity of life and a chosen simple thing. This might be hard but find happiness in something like washing the dishes, walking, cleaning or something you can do at anytime basically like drawing, reading, writing, meditation, etc. If you put happiness in something you can actually have whenever you want or something that may be boring, but you still have to do it everyday, your happiness is therefore alqays available. If you put the attainment of happiness in big and complex things like becoming a pilot or graduating college, your restricting your happiness bejind years of work and learning. It becomes circumstantial, and inturn becomes limited. Then when you finally get that thing your happy and satisfied, yet unhappy cus you relied on acheiving that thing in order to produce your joy.

    I thought the dilemma in the trolley problem was that the person was a loved one and the five were strangers. Others have mentioned the five-kidneyed person. In the case of the judge, was the person he found guilty innocent of the crime but guilty of other crimes he was found not guilty of or did the judge know the person was going to kill the people he thought he was saving? My problem with these problems is they're never specific enough🤨

    I don't know why trolley is involved here at all if the essence of the problem is: "You must choose how many people you kill". Don't let anyone put you in such situation. It's not a casual shopping dilemma. You don't have to choose who lives and who dies. The only true lesson this problem can teach you is that saving can be just as bad as killing.

    Anyone who would flip the switch to "save" the three is immoral. Remember that we are all beholden to fate, which prevents us from doing anything from unaliving a murderer to save three or quitting our jobs and saving lives in the poorest countries of Africa. We choose to NOT save lives because of fate, which prevents seeing a positive action (saving three) as negating a negative action (unaliving one). Those who choose to take out the one is ultimately acting as God in one instance and then ignoring all the positives they can do every other day of their lives.

    You flip the switch that helps you on the trolley stop, but I'd just do the 5 since that was the fate anyway. That decision is not based on lives being more important than a life, I don't care either way and not a problem because it isnt me.

    The trolley problem is actually only half of the thought experiment the second part has a doctor who can kill one healthy person for the organs needed to save 5 other people who are dying & thus is an exploration of what makes them different. at least in the original form.

    @@sirmeowthelibrarycat id add that altruism without fairness is problematic altruism. there's no need to put yourself at a disadvantage without good reason. if i have a minor injury and somebody else has a severe injury, it'd be foolish of them to act altruistically and let me have the treatment first. and it'd be fair for me to be in a minor disadvantage for their benefit. but if all factors are the same, except i got there first, it wouldn't be fair to allow that this time. you can't have the right to sacrifice yourself without being selfish, you can only be selfless if you treat yourself as any other stranger. thinking that other people deserve more than you simply because they're other people is selfish, you deserve to be saved just like they do. so if there's no significant factors that influence my choice. i should choose the people that are important to me if it's fair to do so, if im not unfairly putting other people at a disadvantage.

    People need to broaden their narrow perspectives. Everything I heard is focused in limiting casualties/moral blame while they could easily avoid casualties (other than yourself potentially, if you're alone in the trolley) altogether. Let's assume the people are tied to the rails for some reason. Then that still leaves us with a couple of options: - Using the engine itself to slow the train. - Emergency Brakes: Applying hand brakes on every car. - As a last resort, using designated derailment points or techniques to minimize damage.

    Misinterpreted Consequentialism. It is easier summed up by "The ends justify the means." The video early on painted it as lofty and moral, which is largely not the case. If the train "needed" to be on time, a consequentialist would have no problem running over 5 people, even if the other track had ZERO people. Consequentialism is a rationalization process that is framework for an ideology. EG Activists use consequentialism to justify being mean to people they disagree with, because their ultimate goal is JUST, pursuing it by any means is automatically granted as okay. Additionally, The Trolley Problem may be a good beginner discussion but it's real use is studying how it actually plays out, but it's not really that interesting on it's own. Most people would obviously pick the 1 dead instead of 5. In practice, some people won't flip the switch from 5......but for fear of screwing something up. That's not consequentialism, that's not the type of consequence that the term refers to, that's general responsibility or cost issue that we deal with all the time, and varying psychology will yield different choices for varying reasons. As I said, most people would pick 1, so even with not confronted with a, varying psychology will yield ifferent choices. Maybe someone is being an edgelord, or rebelling against the percieved morality judgement, etc. We vary widely in how we interpret and process things, and that manifests in realistic experiments as well as hypothetical "what if" discussions.

    The issue with hitting the switch so that it only ends one person instead of 5, is that those 5 would've expired without your intervention and that would've been a tragic accident. By flipping that switch to avoid those 5's tragic fate turns you into a murderer whereas allowing those 5 to meet their fate makes you a bystander.

    i do kinda agree with this, but then it's also a numbers game. that 5 turns could turn into 500, or 500K, or 5 Billion; somewhere you'd have to change your decision. also, being a bystander shouldn't absolve you of your moral duty.
