I dont think there is a right answer to this, I think my teacher is just curious
say "scream at the idiots on the train tracks to get off"
"100% sure that this is the only way their lives can be saved. "
that way you made an attemp to save lives without actively killing another person
but
you are 100% sure this will not work
meh
100% sure this is the only way to save ALL of their lives
and absolutes are impossible
well
in this hypothetical universe

it is physically impossible to save both the fat guy and the 5 people
it would be weight-ist to kil the fat man
yes but it would be weightist to not save the 5 not fat people Kappa
the act of making a decision based on weight is weightist
you should totally justify killing the fat man because he is clearly going to die of a heart attack soon anyway
no he is working on getting better
he has made great progress
and he has a wife and children
cool
throw them under the bus too
and holds a very important position
but so do all of the 5 others
there is no solution
jump in front of the train yourself
commit sudoku
exactly
screw the rules
debates like this are more fun if you make up more solutions
pretend to be the victum and claim you coudlent do anything because of ptsd
Keepo
too bad they put in "100% sure that this is the only way their lives can be saved. "
mc clearly has no immagination
wait for the train to go by then push the fat man
hope he dies from falling
Everyone loses!
then sudoku yourself
yup
you forgot that part
not necessary
you just solved a massive debate by creating a third outcome
you can live
yeah you could
or even
just sudoku the world
because why not
erase all of mankind so no one will know
Kappa
this solution would fit both the Nihilist and the Solipsist philosophies
definitely more the Solipsist
what about the femenist philosophy?
Kappa
if there's one female in the five kill the man
if not, kill everyone
what if the fat man identifies as gender neutral Kappa
if he's white kill him
what if they are all white and all idenitfy as gender neutral gays Keepo
Keepo
they'll be killed by muslim immigrants anyway, so lets just silence them on twitter

i am snek
not that snek
paladin clearly doesn't speak german
three errors in that second sentence
