Sorry Zach, but I enjoyed this joke twice: as an philosopher and as a statistician!

    Finally read the silly part..HaHa. But the silly part is totally to the point! I hate the trolley problem because it is stupid! Why are the buildings (people) On the damn tracks!?!? And if they are and they are not paying attention to danger then tough on them!
    I played as a kid on RR tracks....and never got hit by a train as I LISTENED for it.
    And the alternate one with the bridge & fat dude is just as stupid!
    But the trolley problem has shown me one thing...you can use science to determine right/wrong actions.

Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.

With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.

No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.

See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.

Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.

I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.

Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.

I've already answered some typical comments.

I have jqMath enabled for the blog. If you have a dollar sign (\$) in your comment, put a \\ in front of it: \\\$, unless you want to include a formula in your comment.
