Philosophers and academics think they released the most confusing thought experiment out to the world. Little did they know, it was multiple choice.
It’s one of the coolest problems in psychology, philosophy, and even ethics.
*disclaimer: not a philosopher, yes i know the answer depends on the person
Also: part D) the fat villain — what if the guy standing on the bridge was the one who put the victims on the track in the first place? What if meant to set up the whole disaster? Would you push him off?
Answer: obviously lol

Nice to see you here
Part D) the fat villain — what if the guy you wanted to push off the bridge was the one who set up the victims on the track in the first place? What if meant to set up the whole disaster? Would you push him off?
Answer: obviously, too easy
The one with the organ transplants doesn't even make sense. If the 5 people are all missing a different organ, then why would they cut open the one healthy guy? If 1 person is gonna be sacrificed, why wouldn't they use one of the 5 to give those organs to the other 4?
You are going places my man! 2 videos, only 4 days on this channel and…. already 1.56k! congrats!
Hahaha yes man always hated like wannabe philosophers were like "bUt yOu canT jusT sAy itS fiVe lives FOr onE, humAn liFes dOnt JUst haVe a spEcifiC ValUe 🤓" regarding the first part. But 9/10 just repeat something they heard by someon they were told is smart anyway and they want to be smart too. 🤫
So when’s the Calculus video coming out
But I can't feel empathy for them as though they are real people, if I'm told to imagine something so absurd to be happening in the first place. So I'm not pushing that switch, it just takes energy. But hey, I wanna see how a fat man would stop the whole damn train, so, you know, let's push that guy.
Dude I’m loving the direction of your channel. I think the last two videos have been some of the best stuff you’ve ever put out on here!
I don't know how I came across this channel, why I found it even though it has only two videos and why it only has 1780
But I'm here for it
Great and funny video, dont give up👍
That ending was too good lmao
Wait, you only have two videos!? Make more, they are informative and hilarious.
2:01 lol
I think this channel's destiny is to gain more and more popularity. ^^
How fat does a man have to be for me to even consider the possibility that, in case I have sufficient strength and accuracy and he doesn't resist, he can stop a train that could otherwise run over 5 people? What if he isn't actually fat enough and now 6 people died? And what if I had the capacity to persuade him to decide to jump off himself in case he actually is fat enough and I can't move him by myself? That could open an interesting discussion on the moral duty to improve certain abilites throughout your life so that you can always act in the maximally moral way. And what if he then tries but then needs help, should I help, and what if it takes too long and the 5 people get run over in the meantime? That would be kinda cringe ngl
Needless to say, I kinda hate these moral dilemma type questions and I'm a grade A Overthinker
Im here just saying
I'm laughing so much, you're hilarious. PLEASE make more videos!!!
You forgot that version where you don't save the 5 people just because they would be grateful with you enough to made you have a long conversation and involved you in a talk with 5 people at a time. As an introverted I dunno dude maybe they were criminals in his past lives or something and the karma just do his thing, plus is fairly easier to hold a simple conversation with that one guy about the horrible thing that just happened than an exhausting one with the other 5. Also, great video, I already love your channel!
Your videos are so dead pan funny and entertaining. I'm subscribing.
nice for a change to not get your eyes burnt by a screaming white background like most other stick figure youtubers
NOT KISSINGER LMFAO
subbed
Love this channel already, keep up the good work :DD
I would not push the lever in any scenario.
When you choose to alter fate, you are in some part becoming morally responsible for whatever happens and culpable. You are responsible for the deaths you cause by pressing the switch.
Whereas if you don't do anything, you are not morally responsible for any deaths.
Acting on an underlying principle like this allows you to make a consistent choice every time, rather than flip flopping for slightly different situations.
You don't have to consider whether they're criminals or Nobel laureates. You just base it on your own principles.
Justice for my man Wario 🙏
