You should be able to solve this Robots.

Run away in order to avoid legal liability. That is the only "correct" answer. Anything else and you are basically guaranteeing that you get a manslaughter charge at minimum.
not touch anything
>>27480949
rocket launcher for the trolley, then chainsaw for everyone tied up
that should cover all the bases
Switch trolley so it runs over the loner, then walk over to the group and rape one of them
>>27480949
Split train in three pieces, end everyone's suffering.
Yeah I won't make a decision to change tracks cause I don't give a fuck how many niggers die.
Close your eyes and violently switch the track back and forth over and over again.
Let God decide.

This.

The Cartesian demon part always gets me.
>>27481121
My fucking sides. Haven't laughed that hard in a while
>>27481121
The brain should an hero for indulging in such detached hypothetical wankery. You philosocucks think you're superior for playing with these little word games but it is and always has been a waste of time
make the train go towards the group of people then hop on the tracks and die with them. 2 many people.
>>27481121
the brain should do nothing
the train cannot be stopped or derailed, which means that in the absence of action, the train will go down one of the two paths by itself
the brain should allow this and not interfere, just as god doesn't interfere with everyday matters for fear of missing a few unintended consequences
>>27481121
There is no such thing as a "just war", therefore a war without war crimes is better than some shitty religious/government justified war that rapes and tortures people.
Also, there have been many tyrants, and Hitler also wasn't as bad as people think, but I'm going to assume the author meant "Hitler" as in the idea of a man capable of killing millions of people. You can be a tyrant without bloodshed. You're just a dick.
Pop-top cans are the greatest thing ever, by the way.
Clearly the brain should go right.
>>27480949
I jump out in front of the tram, killing myself.
>>27480949
leave the train to kill the 5 people, then go kill the 1 guy and put him on the track with the others and pretend I was never there
>>27481350
God doesn't do or doesn't do anything out of fear. He fears nothing
>>27481516
but he also doesn't act in small matters
my choice is only further aided by the fact that the brain is being partially deceived, so the best option is to do nothing and let it happen as it would
people cannot be saved, they can only save themselves
>>27480949
that's easy
>>27480949
The actual correct answer is to flip the tracks to go toward the one person and then run over and pull him off the tracks.
how about now?
ghnbjhgjgf
>>27481369
But how will the brain know he's choosing right instead of left?
There is only one right answer.
>>27481622
art students contribute nothing
Push the train over because it looks pretty small desu
>>27481624
Because. The author forgot one key element in this example. Jones and Leftie.
The brain can choose to kill Jones, regardless of whether the brain is being tricked into thinking left is right and right is left or not. Jones must die for the sake of humanity.
>>27481649
I know that, but most people still see this as 5 lives over 1
I would save the doctor no hesitation
>>27480949
I would let the 5 people die because I would have fun watching it. And no one can say I'm responsible because I didn't DO anything, I just let what was already in motion continue.
>>27480949
The train is too close to the switch for it to be able to properly switch tracks before it passes the switch. So the train would probably just go the way it would have without interference, or possible derail, idk enough about trains to say for sure.
>>27481665
And how will the Brain know Jones is Jones and Leftie is Leftie?
>>27480949
Run over, untie the single person, and stab them in the face.
Maximum kills.
>>27481286
This
Just read the entire thing
What is even the point of answering something as useless as that?
I'd switch it and try to untie the one guy in time
If I failed, well, that sucks for both of us
At least I don't have to live with the repercussions of my actions
>>27481726
The key here is that the brain is being deceived by matter of left vs. right, but not the location itself. Regardless of whether or not the brain thinks jones is on the right or left is moot. The entire series of events is set down a certain path depending on which side the trolley collides with. Left will always be "just war", right will always be "unjust war" regardless if the brain is told the opposite. You can't deceive fate or destiny. Just lean right.
If you don't do anything, you are not responsible for anyone's death
If you flip the switch, you are directly responsible for someone's death.
The best thing to do is nothing.

Hey, that's pretty good anon!
Leave the switch be.
You can always comfort yourself with the fact that youliterallyhad no hand in the matter.
how about now robots?

This just makes me want to save the 5 guys even more. I regularly fantasize about roastie whores dying horrible deaths like this.

Still don't touch the trolly. Also leave the girl tied up to starve to death. Pretend I wasn't seeing anything actually happening, but instead some sort of elsborate prank.

Leave the switch be and you will not be a murderer. Do you want to be a murderer?
Utilitarians are the reason the world is so shit. Thinking that you are some universal judge or a prophet is stupid and that doing something immoral that may end up contributing to something good is right and justified is just sick.
>>27482043
It's a desperate self imposed delusion.
Kind of like falling in love with a 2D girl will never be anything more than a cartoon.
My feelings towards these people is about 60% pity, 40% envy.
>>27482132
I guess that's just your...a faggot
>>27482043
theres nothing wrong with it until you force it on other people, but in general its just weird to me. especially since you browse this board. it's hard for me to understand how someone can be a robot and know the suffering of the world yet have the energy to bother believing in an omnipresent being when all evidence and life experience points to the opposite.
unless you're just a dumb normie which wouldn't surprise me. in which case, ree and shit.
>>27482031
its literally not underrated can you faggots stop with this meme.
multi track drifting has been around for at least a decade and still gets posted here. its not something that you need to call out as underrated.
>>27482318
you sound pretty upset friend
>>27482356
nah not really tbqh
tho the "underrated" meme does kind of bug me
i just say faggots now because i've been on 4chan so long so it makes me sound angry i think
>>27482010
god doesn't even mean a christian god you twat
it means the concept of a divine being with power greater than a human
a being would not interfere with most incidents on earth because there are consequences for every choice, nothing is in a vacuum
it explains why bad things happen to good people, because they do, because any divine being would not interfere and risk consequences from such trivial matters from it's perspective
>>27482391
i understand what you mean but whats the point of calling it god or giving it attention then? the only options are
A: it is powerful enough to make our lives perfect without any kind of bad consequences, it just chooses not to because it doesnt care
or
B: it would help us if it could do so without creating unintended consequences, but it cant because it isnt powerful enough
in both scenarios the god is not helping us, either because its an asshole or because its not strong enough. either way it isnt worth giving a fuck about because it offers us nothing
>>27480949
Put guy off the top track and put him next to the others on the bottom track.

How old is the doctor and how old are the murderers. One could base it on the number of lives the doctor is statistically likely to save and the number the murderers are statistically likely to kill, in the remainder of their lives

do nothing since they're probably all normies who deserve a painful death
>>27481622
I would save the doctor and then have him fix up the art students who got crushed
No brakes on the spook train
What's the answer /r9k/?
fuck you op
and this entire thread
I'd lay down on the tracks myself tbph

Doesn't matter if you kill one or many, you'll kill anyway.
