mel!are you...you know...tramsgender?
Andrew Benedict-Nelson@mel I’d love their take on the trolley problem
@albnelson i disagree with the premise tbh. if you have a trolley, that means you have public transport, which is inherently a good situation and not a problem
@mel can’t argue with that
Michael Bacon@mel @albnelson This is the only trolley problem I want to hear about from now on. Either "we don't have a trolley and that's a problem" or "the trolley system needs maintenance funds."
@MichaelTBacon @mel I mean shouldn’t it really be called the people problem
Colorblind Cowboy@albnelson @MichaelTBacon @[email protected] I think we have a “someone is tying people to the tracks” problem.
Right? The ethical lesson happens when someone is put in an absolutely horrible, traumatizing position and this is some kind of broader lesson because reasons.
@MichaelTBacon @albnelson It’s one of the many reasons I hate hypothetical questions.
Felix@colorblindcowboy @albnelson @MichaelTBacon I'd argue we have a safety culture problem: Somehow the possibility of people being on the tracks was neither prevented nor detected nor taken into account for braking time / speed limit calculations. Twice!
