.@mirandachale :) - Have a look at this - there were accusations of bigotry! http://bit.ly/Xh3Bos
@mollydot @mirandachale That claim isn't born out by the data I've collected. See last few paras here: http://bit.ly/Xh3Bos

@philosophyexp@mirandachale I said plenty, not most. Perhaps those people troll posts/articles about fat rather than do philosophy expermts -
@mollydot@mirandachale 120k have taken the fat man test. It would show up. Trolls are precisely trolling (i.e., they don't mean it). -
@philosophyexp@mirandachale Can you convince me w numbers? How many is "many of whom...do actually make broadly utilitarian calculations"? -
@mollydot Hang on, I'll run the numbers for you. -
@philosophyexp ...enough about stats.So I can assume 95% means you're right, 50% means your wrong,but I don't know about,say, 80%, 85%, 90%. -
@mollydot ok - key stat - only 26% of 71153 people who are *not* utilitarians think the fat man should be sacrificed. This suggests fatness -
@philosophyexp Is that 26% of people who disavowed utilitarianism, or 26% of people who didn't eg divert the train? -
@mollydot I'll check the didn't divert the train. Not diverting the train, but throwing the fat man off would be very odd. Interesting! :) - 14 more replies

@philosophyexp@mirandachale Apologies if I'm repeating stuff you've already heard. I haven't read the discussion, except for yr blog post. -
@mollydot I don't deny there is fat prejudice. I deny that the trolley problem either reflects it or contributes to it.
