@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 ...settled on an answer in the variation where it's not the driver, but someone at the points who makes the decision.
@mollydot Yeah.I have the same intuition about turning but not throwing. I'm also not entirely sure why! It's interesting. :)

@philosophyexp I don't know how much I'm affected by the 1st time I heard of it, a friend informed me that not switching was the correct ans -
@mollydot Your friend is talking nonsense. There is no correct answer. Nobody in the literature talks about correct answers. :) -
@philosophyexp Unstuck, cos I've just realised it's asking is it morally permissible. I think throwing/not throwing are both permissible. -
@mollydot Yes, that phrasing is deliberate. Sets the bar a little bit lower. Not talking about obligation. -
@philosophyexp The question that sometimes mentions consent, is that the first trolley scenario, or all of them?Can't remmbr if driver=Pacey -
@mollydot I can't remember! :) But it definitely isn't all of them. Probably just the first one. -
@philosophyexp I feel consent being mentioned might have changed my answer, but I can assume consent wouldn't given anyway. (78% vs 82% now) -
@mollydot Yes. I'd say that in the absence of information, you have to assume no consent. Anything else is highly counterintuitive. - 2 more replies

@philosophyexp I'm stuck on scenario 3 now. I think if it was real, I'd default to not switching, due to being frozen by indecision!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
