I guess it is somehow ethical because of the characteristics and the context. There are a group of unknown hikers and then a fat man. We can say blow ...
Interesting point! I put an example of a group because the original author pretended to defend that mostly the masses would act against to the individ...
Probably this happens because humans tend to think and use a ideas or knowledge to improve our reality. It is true that praxis and action take advanta...
True! But another interesting fact is that the people argument different answers when they check the dilemma, even they end up creating another dilemm...
I think my economic ideology or paradise would be a system where, at least, most of the workers have the right to own a house and then invest in cultu...
Interesting question. John Locke developed some theories about colours and then how is in our vocabulary. He tried, somehow, explaining in a empirical...
Interesting fact. We can see it also in this view. If he got stuck is his fault so somehow doesn't have the right of a choice. Then, the rest of the h...
Yes it is. Only allowed in violent countries. But I guess somehow goes further than just court resolutions because we are debating and sharing ideas o...
Another dilemma inside the dilemma! I like it. Yes it is. Completely because now we have to consider if we are sufficient brave of give the fat man th...
Agree lol. But this what happens in spiral dilemmas like this one. There are infinite answers and I guess this is why so interesting and I like all of...
True but he could act selfish in two ways: not deciding killing himself because he doesn’t want to or probably he could torch the dynamite and then ki...
Interesting point of view. So you defend that it could depends on the awareness in every individual in this dilemma. If a doctor is there, for him, th...
Sure, the sacrifice always be there because as you explained, it is a natural selection. Nevertheless, I is interesting how the humans create masses t...
Good question! I think not. I guess it doesn’t depend about appearance. In extreme circumstances you do whatever just survive and if you have to sacri...
I thought it more than moral, in a survival aspect. Somehow the masses will fight to survive. Doesn’t matter the sacrifice for the the fat man. I gues...
We learned about how to think furthermore than basic things. I guess it is not only entertainment. Everything has always started as ideas or debating....
I really liked it. I love how you explain as a cascade, if you don’t mind I use this metaphor. Thanks for participating and sharing your thoughts in t...
But having ideas and debate about it are important too and here is where philosophy is crucial. A good example are the dilemmas and their interpretati...
This is where we get the commission/omission moral dilemma. If the fat man omitted the act of allowing the rest blowing himself up then he acts immora...
What you shared is very important because it is something I was waiting for. Exactly, what can happen if we pass the buck? Imagine we do so and them t...
This one was so interesting. I never heard of this topic until today. Another new concept I learn about law philosophy. Thanks for sharing and explain...
Well greasing him is a good solution but imagine nobody has this object with themselves. It is not about being mean with the fat man I guess it is abo...
I understand your point. But what about if the fat man doesn't allow us to blow him up? His selfishness could kill us (the hikers in the example). It ...
Yes, you are right somehow fat Men probably wouldn't go hiking but I said this dilemma is quite humorous because of the characters :joke: But I was lo...
I wish one day we can turn back to these days. The golden era of philosophy, ethics, science, development of individual, etc... we will never see anot...
There are too many reasons, but I think the most important facts are the following ones: - most of the researchers are not motivated here because the ...
Completely agree. Good point. I guess this is one of the worst inventions in our modern times. As you said, we have to do something because Twitter on...
Hmm... no. Here in Europe (I am from Spain) people give zero respect and acceptance to scientists. It is all about politics and money. We still waitin...
Completely. They are always making up their reality just to confront themselves because the world outside is not for them or they do not want it. Some...
Not necessarily. Pessimism or nihilism can be connected to the feeling of not having hope about what the future holds but this context doesn’t make me...
I don’t see the correlation between love and fear with feelings as uncertainty, pessimism, nihilism, etc... I guess love or fear are just emotions and...
