Скачать или смотреть Would you save five people or one?

🚂 A classic dilemma: A train is speeding down the tracks. On one track — 5 people, on the other — 1.
You’re standing by the lever… What would you choose?

🚶‍♂️ If a person decides NOT to pull the lever (5 people die):
What this says:

This person tends to follow the principle of non-intervention — they believe that passive inaction is less immoral than actively causing harm, even if the outcome is worse.

It may indicate a fear of responsibility, as they don’t want to be directly responsible for someone’s death.

This behavior is often called deontological — when someone follows a moral rule (“do not kill”) regardless of the consequences.

Character traits:

A tendency toward ethical absolutism.

Unwillingness to “play God.”

Sometimes — emotional detachment from rational calculation.

🔁 If a person pulls the lever (1 person dies):
What this says:

This choice reflects a utilitarian approach — better to save five people, even at the cost of one life.

The person is ready to take responsibility for a difficult but logical decision.

This reflects a mindset of choosing the “lesser evil.”

Character traits:

A tendency for rational analysis.

Willingness to act in moral uncertainty.

Empathy expressed through saving the majority.
