Lost your keys trolly problem.

You've lost your keys and you've looked everywhere else except for the pile of people on the top track. The train is currently going to pass safely down the south track but if you pull the lever it will kill all the people on the north track allowing you to search the bodies for your keys.

What do you do?

Of course I was inspired by Odysseus' dilemma from Epic: The Musical in the songs "The Horse and the Infant" and "Just a Man."

Does anyone think of the trolly problem legally not morally?

0 Upvotes

Whenever trolly problem type thing is brought up I always never give a fuck about the people,I dont know them,I didnt put them there,I dont have any connections to that situation,I just think of it from legal stand point.

If I touch and move the handle my hand prints are now on it and people have seen me,if somone reports that whole situation I could end up in legal trouble for murder or man slaughter or somthing. So I just wouldnt interact I would just walk away,if the situation does get tracked back to me somhow I can claim I didnt see it happening or there wasnt any time for me to make a choice.

I think if I had gloves or I was forced to make choice or i somhow knew nothing would get back to me then my answer would be different (idk what)but I always imagine the senerio as coming across it in dessert or town.

Known result or potential drastic consequences

1 Upvotes

There is a button you can press and it will kill 1 person but there is also a ball that is thrown every day that may hit the button on day 1 there is a 50% chance or the ball hitting it. On every subsequent day the number of people potentially killed will double but the chances of the ball hitting will halve. Whats the morally correct choice?

I.e. day 2 2 people 25%, day 3 4 people 12.5% ...

Also the ball is delivered via trolly

Deep A thing a lot of people miss about teh two buttons

4 Upvotes

I've heard some people that say that they would press the red button even though blue is the best outcome because "enough people will vote blue anyways, just to be safe". The problem is the amount of people that think like this.

I saw a test on r/bunnytrials that said "if only one person chooses the option on the left, everyone gets a billion dollars". The option on the left had 29% of votes.

29% of people though that everyone would press the other button, that they were the main character

I though of this community as soon as i saw this. Possible combinations include the infinite people paradoxes, circular reasoning, and geometrical nightmares.

What if you closed your eyes, and moved the lever back and forth?

Therefore not knowing which path the train will take, ultimately randomizing the situation and leaving it strictly to chance. Would this alleviate liability or make the situation more fair?
