@cammakingminds The classical trolley problem is just an appetizer, and only trips up morally confused people. But as you add variation it gets harder and harder. E.g. two elderly cancer patients vs one healthy young person. Two construction workers with violent history vs a chess master. Etc.

People who get tripped up by the trolley problem are intellectually disabled. Killing 5 people is worse than killing 1 person actually.

Imagine if people in Europe had to take this exam every time they activated Tesla FSD.

“Follow your passion” has to be near the top of the list…

What’s something people think is good advice that’s actually bad advice?

@DavidJones02232 @inglewood_T @1ssve To take it closer to your example, it's like if I ask you about a specific album, and you'll say you like all the songs from that album, vs someone who's favorite is track 3, and thinks track 7 isn't good.
English

@DavidJones02232 @inglewood_T @1ssve That's not at all what I'm saying. I'm saying that people who like music, usually develop preferences. People who have no preference and "like all music", usually say so out of lack of interest. They enjoy music, but only on a superficial level.
English

@inglewood_T @DavidJones02232 @1ssve Whereas people who only like a couple of genres, tend to dive fully into them. They know every band, every song, and they have a complex emotional relationship with the music.
English

@inglewood_T @DavidJones02232 @1ssve In my experience, people who "like all the music", mean it in a superficial way. They won't be able to tell you their favorite artist from each genre, or maybe it will just be the one that gets played the most on the radio.

@ArielSterman All the newspapers would say they were losing, like duh

@Anonymooooon @mikealfred This is just a headline on a website. How would they even know?

@ShMMor If the international court isn't able to stop itself from being weaponized, and it's sufficient to just hurl baseless accusations regarding events that happen in every war, then maybe its existence is doing more harm than good.
English

@ShMMor That just sound crazy to me. What's stopping it from being weaponized again and again? All you need is a couple of countries to make claims, and a few sympathetic members of the court, and you can disrupt an entire nation legally?
English

I can name a lot more than 5. Let's start with 23 easy ones:
1. Designating a combatant a journalist automatically immunizes that combatant from attack.
2. A territory is occupied even if there is no presence whatsoever after a hostile armed force by virtue of being blockaded.

@EylonALevy @ShMMor @eylontherecord Can you list just five of such laws invented by Israel's critics?
English

@erezsh That part, as worded, is technically true.
But, the ICC can't claim jurisdiction over a non-member state, or issue arrest warrants in violation of complementarity, or claim complementarity has failed on account of "starvation" not having been investigated when on one starved.
English

@ShMMor And another one -
"Targeting civilians is allowed and justified when you feel oppressed and you're not strong enough to fight against the army."
English

@ShMMor Don't forget -
"International courts can issue arrest warrants for acting elected leaders, without any conclusive proof that they have committed a crime. They can even do it in the middle of a war."
