How do you decide moral dilemmas?

Yeah, the trolley problem is oversimplified and contorted - and yet can be useful. For example take a self-driving car. Should the car risk the passengers to save a group of pedestarians? Do changes in age of passengers & pedestarians affect the decision? (e.g. save children?)
No. Bad Vector. *slaps wrist* https://robots.law.miami.edu/2019/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/MoralMachineMonster.pdf …

The problem with the trolley problem is not that it's oversimplified, it's that the sort of ethical calculus it gets used to promote is only valid when making policy decisions, and it frames policy decisions as an aggregate of individual choices, which they are not.

This is prompting a rethink of spaces women can't safely go from an individual and policy perspective

Lol im reading the paper and it's annoying
of course any "social value" measure is going to be imperfect
and yet it can very well be useful / the right tool to use - why? if the benefits outweight the costs -
The point of the paper is that "the costs" are significantly greater than the sum of the individual costs. Also this isn't the point of the paper, but I often find it interesting how cost/benefit analyses elide who is getting the benefits and who is paying the costs.
