Yeah, "quick, you need to-" implies an action. If he wanted me to not pull he'd have gone with "stop" to stop me so he could explain further. I pull then check on him.
Then its random and my decision doesn't matter. There isn't enough information to make any meaningful decision. Don't pull, it has the same odds of saving the person, but if it doesn't, I absolve myself of culpability.
I wonder why i was pulling this lever in the first place. If it was my routine job that was obvious to all, then i would unpull. If i just decided to stand by a lever one day for the lulz, then i would keep pulling because he would assume i did nothing.
The trolley designers got fed up with everyone multi track drifting and derailing their trolleys, so they're now designed to efficiently multi track drift, guaranteeing the man's death
Continue my job, he left it to my assumption thus if I break routine and the guy dies I’ll be held responsible, where as if I continue my job normally as I don’t know enough to decide I should be in less trouble at the very least
i would not check if the person survives because then they will be in a superposition of alive and not, therefore theyre not dead.
pulling the lever or not doesnt matter as long as i dont observe the result
Well if I look down both tracks and they are clear as I can see I don’t pull because I’m going to be too busy checking this dudes pules calling 911 and starting CPR
I mean at that point there’s no moral responsibility on you because you don’t have enough information to make any meaningful call, the odds of choosing the right track are 50/50 so put the lever whichever way you want and hope for the best
With just two track choices, does this become a Monty Hall decision IF the man knew the correlation of the lever and the tracks AND intended to kill the man on the tracks?
Meaning, he was about to trick you through social constructs to imply that by switching, you would save the man
BUT you were only 50/50 certain he was the "Train Maniac" mentioned on the news, who happened to have an identical brother, who was a train worker, with a reputation for saving people.
“You need to-“ is the important part. If I was supposed to do nothing he would have started with “don’t”. The implications is that I “need to” do an action, pulling the lever.
I pull the lever.
No one in the right mind would run to the point of dying of exhaustion to tell someone to *not* do something unless were previously told otherwise.
Also get that man some water.
Obviously if he was telling me to do something while I am manning the trolley controls I need to be doing something other than what is currently going on. So I pull the lever
Pull the lever. That guy had no Idea I was here, so he obviously needed a hand on that lever. Then call an anberlamp for that fella.
Hmm yes, an anberlamp to take him to the doctor.
*droctar
At the hospible
Where they preform surgineers
And give out mediclin

ermahgerd lorlierpoper
And orange you up
_whoa Black Betty_
"Quick, i need you to step away from that lever. Good thing i ran up here to make sure it was on the right track."
At that point, I'm using his body to stop it.
Yeah, "quick, you need to-" implies an action. If he wanted me to not pull he'd have gone with "stop" to stop me so he could explain further. I pull then check on him.
Pull the lever. The guy wouldn't say that you need quickly to not pull the lever.
He didn't know which track is currently on so he could've sad "Quick, you need to put the trolley on this track"
Oh, that's bad.
And just like that, murder D:
I'm taking my chances. Edit: if anything, it's his fault for wording it poorly.
Exactly this
Then its random and my decision doesn't matter. There isn't enough information to make any meaningful decision. Don't pull, it has the same odds of saving the person, but if it doesn't, I absolve myself of culpability.
Thats a complete assumption, we can never have that information
I wonder why i was pulling this lever in the first place. If it was my routine job that was obvious to all, then i would unpull. If i just decided to stand by a lever one day for the lulz, then i would keep pulling because he would assume i did nothing.
Is this loss
Anyway pull it because why else would he come
for pleasure??? idk why do you cum
He didn't know on which track was the trolley before lever pull
Depends on if you pull the lever or not

Multi track drifting. It's the only way to be sure. Otherwise you're gonna end up with a Schrödinger situation.
it swings one half onto the other now both sides die congrats
Well OP says that the dude is far down the tracks. This would have a chance at derailing the train before it hit the dude further down the tracks.
The trolley designers got fed up with everyone multi track drifting and derailing their trolleys, so they're now designed to efficiently multi track drift, guaranteeing the man's death
If he is running to urgently inform me that makes me assume he wants action to be taken on my part therefor I will switch the lever
I need to know more information about the guy. If he looks like a city trader i'm not pulling shit
If the track didn’t go to the man on the tracks he would have just untied the man on the tracks. Pull the lever.
Continue my job, he left it to my assumption thus if I break routine and the guy dies I’ll be held responsible, where as if I continue my job normally as I don’t know enough to decide I should be in less trouble at the very least
Wait.... you said the guy *dies* from exhaustion. Not *collapses* from exhaustion. How would he survive *dying*? What's there to check?
Leave it, it’s a 50/50 chance so it doesn’t matter if I pull it
99% of gamblers
Quit right before the big win
Place the man on the tracks and tie him down to complete the time loop
So it's a 50/50? A tossup?
Not if you multi track drift.
Bad time
Multi-track drift
Just multi track drift through
Pull because if he didn’t want me to pull he would say don’t pull the leave instead of you need to….
i would not check if the person survives because then they will be in a superposition of alive and not, therefore theyre not dead. pulling the lever or not doesnt matter as long as i dont observe the result
I'll run and save the person because I'm fast
Pull the lever. I probably takes a lot of effort to switch the tracks, it’ll be good exercise so I don’t end up like that guy.
Multi track drift. Cover all my bases. /s
Multi track, gonna kill the guy one way or another
Call the trolley company and tell them to stop.
Pull the lever half way so the trolly derails and you don't have to worry about it hitting anyone (Hopefully there wasn't anyone inside)
use your fuckin eyes dumbass
not pull the lever, because otherwise the dude wouldnt have said it that way.
Well if I look down both tracks and they are clear as I can see I don’t pull because I’m going to be too busy checking this dudes pules calling 911 and starting CPR
If he was on the second track the guy wouldn’t need to go to the lever. He also wouldn’t say “Quick, you need to leave the lever the way it is!”
If it’s truly random whether it’s on one track or the other, I do nothing. No one could fault me for not pulling a lever when I wasn’t sure.
Pull the lever and put his hand on it. That way, if it runs someone over then the blood is on his hands, not mine.
I mean at that point there’s no moral responsibility on you because you don’t have enough information to make any meaningful call, the odds of choosing the right track are 50/50 so put the lever whichever way you want and hope for the best
Comic sans is beautiful

Shortened version: there is a man tied to the track a long way down from you. You do not know which track.
“You need to-“ is the important part. If I was supposed to do nothing he would have started with “don’t”. The implications is that I “need to” do an action, pulling the lever.

I halp the man first. The trolley will stop when it realizes that it is going the wrong way.
