Comment on The Prisoner's Trolley Problemma
TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoI see what you’re trying to do and you’re not necessarily wrong, but you’re kinda perpetuating the attitude that inspired someone to make this meme in the first place

I’m not sure I follow. Should this meme’s creator not have been inspired?

Touche. But no, my point was more of a haphazard reflection on how both the Trolley Problem and Prisoner’s Dilemma are (by design) built on the idea of reducing human life and/or morality and empathy down to a math problem. It is a method of thought that has its purposes, sure, but I think too many people make that their default setting, which makes dehumanization more commonsublllif subconsciously. Idk man, I’m going through some stuff

Given that this problem is given during corporate interviews … it probably screens for the requisite level of sociopathy.
