The trolley problem

posted by [personal profile] mylescorcoran at 09:51am on 07/02/2008 under , ,
The allegory of the trolley problem was pointed out to me by [livejournal.com profile] raycun. It made me laugh. It made me cry. It made me grateful I did physics in college.

Not having done physics I can't say, but I got a lot of fun out of philosophy...

Well, most of the time you don't have to get things past an ethics board before turning your thought experiments into something subject to experiment.

They called me mad! Mad, I tell you, but they'll have to recognize my genius once my Bi-phase Transmuting Wurlitzer is complete.

Bwahahaha!
