@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! :)

@philosophyexp IIRC, that's the only example where the person you'd sacrifice/torture isn't (known to be) fat.
