No one has even attempted to discuss the Trolley Problem anyways... So I'm not sure what I'm doubling down on...

And because they aren't, it's not letting you stack moral and ethical variables on them.  You've been insulted here.  And now you are trying to lash out and hit back.  Too late.  I kinda admire the effort...it does show you have some intellectual thought patterns...or the "want" for them at least.  It also shows you are a young and naive.

Now what would you choose if your grandparents and mother we're the 5 on one side and your sister the lone 1?  :dunno:

I'm gonna have to pull up my parents' life insurance policies before I answer this one... JK, I let it run over my parents and grandparents. I know it's what they'd want.

WB getting his whole experiment hyjacked.  

So you're on a bridge and you see a train on one side barreling towards you, on the other side 5 people, standing next to you is a fat motherfucker. You know he's fat enough that if you push him off the bridge the train will hit him and grind to a halt saving the 5 people tied to the tracks... Do you push the fatass?

 

This is a classic ethics thought experiment  Zam, not mine.

I know these aren’t yours.  It’s psychology 101. Almost word for word.  I just don’t want to go through and start twisting the variables to change answers and then ask “why?”.

But I’ll watch.  For whatever entertainment it may bring.

When I was a teenager they redid their wills, they openly asked who I would want to take custody if they died.

 

I've always been a bit intimidated by what I'm going to inherit. I'll have two $400,000+ homes to maintain and pay bills on... but no idea how much money is coming to help fund that or where my career will be then.
