You do nothing, intervening would mean that you were directly involved in killing the one person, whereas leaving it be means you had no effect on the outcome.

isnt it selfish to not save 5 people over 1 just to save your own sense of guilt.

>> No.9971317

>>9968745
the original problem is just an exercise in utilitarianism, obviously save the five

While it's socially taboo to choose to eliminate the majory, economically and environmentally it's the best choice (assuming that is, there's a larger population of humans outside of this scenario).

its interesting because if you replaced humans with cats or somin. it would be way easier for people just to run over the 1 cat. desu ive never had this problem. ive always gone for the 5 and never seen why people think its so hard. only when i really imagine the person on that 1 track do i feel abit but in general my answer is within less than a second.

does this make me a psychopath or am i just not an idiot?
