There’s actually an answer to the trolly problem. It’s a trick The issue is that the trolley problem removes all context and nuances from a situation, then asks you to resolve a dilemma that, by nature, was only supposed to be resolved by considering said context and nuances. Without grounding, too many free variables. You see lots of similarly overabstracted dilemmas out there designed for nerd sniping people into churny conversations Anyway, the answer to a universal, context-less question is the universal response, which is to wait for more context, i.e. “I’ll know what to do when I’m in that situation”. Or as Sydney Sweeney eloquently puts it, “when I have something to say, people will hear” Infinitely defer a calculation against an infinitely abstracted requirement

@_chenglou From the philosophical perspective there is no answer and the lack of context is intentional

@joaoalbertodev @_chenglou The lack of context is what forces the answer to be as simply pragmatic as minimise harm.

@joaoalbertodev @_chenglou can we be so sure they didn't just forget to include it?
