A classic Trolley Problem is a pillar of psychological and sociological studies. If you're unfamiliar, the OG Trolley P is “The trolley problem is a classic ethical thought experiment: a runaway trolley threatens five people; you can pull a lever to divert it to a track killing only one person, but you directly cause that death. It highlights the conflict between utilitarianism (maximizing lives saved) and deontological ethics (not actively killing).” We took it to another level and let our Patreon submit variations for us to blind react to. If we weren't sure before that our audience is full of creatively twisted individuals, we are now.

Sorry no video pod today! We’re spiraling into some heavy moral territory today, and honestly, I’m not sure we’ll ever look at Dan’s wife, Hannah, the same way again. We tackle the ultimate "Trolley Problem"—would you sacrifice 50 innocent people to save your own child, or in Dan’s case, save him from a literal train wreck? Plus, we’re unpacking a listener's absolute disaster of a trip to Amsterdam. From accidentally becoming "disabled" by a brownie to hallucinating that schoolgirls in McDonald's are plotting against you, it’s a chaotic cautionary tale you have to hear to believe. 00:00 – Gym fails: The "running thing" and the "dumbbells with handles". 02:45 – The "Thick" debate: Is it a compliment or an insult? 03:40 – Hannah’s moral compass: Supermarket snitching and found cash. 05:45 – The Train Dilemma: 50 people vs. your own child. 07:55 – Hannah on the line: Would she save Dan from the tracks? 10:15 – Amsterdam Allegations: The brownie that sent Liam to the hospital. 12:20 – Mushroom madness: Why you shouldn’t go to McDonald's on a trip. 15:00 – Vending machine secrets: Matt and Summer join the booth. 18:15 – Friday's Fast Track keyword and the country elimination game.

In Episode 359 of The Canine Paradigm, Pat drops a classic ethics grenade on Glenn: the trolley problem of five versus one. An out of control trolley is racing down the track and you are standing next to the lever. On one track, five people are tied down. On the other, one person is tied down. You can pull the lever or you can do nothing, and either way someone pays the price.We unpack what that dilemma reveals about values, responsibility, and how people justify hard decisions. Then, as we always do, we drag it back to dogs. Training and behaviour work often forces choices between competing outcomes, safety versus freedom, fairness versus convenience, short term compliance versus long term understanding. Sometimes the decision is not comfortable, but it is still required.This episode is part philosophy, part dog training reality check, and it will make you think about why you do what you do when the pressure is on.

This episode is a repeat of episode 301.In this episode, Trevor delves into a rich tapestry of moral philosophy and practical ethics. The discussion begins with a panel reflecting on the origins of morals, referencing an earlier episode that featured a conversation with Peter, The 12th Man, and Hugh Harris. The talk revisits various perspectives on morality, including the implications of the Judeo-Christian ethic and its historical development. Franz Mair's views on societal constructs and spirituality, as well as debates on contentious figures like Jordan Peterson, are examined. The second part features an in-depth book review of 'Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?' by Michael J. Sandel. The host explores different moral frameworks, such as utilitarianism, libertarianism, and Aristotle's perspectives on justice. Through various analogies and case studies, including price gouging, military honours, and historical instances of societal dilemmas, the host elucidates the nuanced approaches to justice and moral reasoning advocated by Sandel. The episode concludes with reflections on community responsibility, individual freedom, and the role of moral judgment in creating a just society.00:00 Introduction to the Book Review00:47 Recap of Episode 238: Origins of Morals01:56 Discussion on Judeo-Christian Ethic04:53 Jordan Peterson's Views on Morality07:53 The Golden Rule Across Cultures12:30 Greek Philosophy: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle25:41 Stoicism and Its Influence on Christianity28:07 The Ten Commandments and Mosaic Law30:04 The Story of Muhammad's Negotiation31:41 The Ark of the Covenant and the Babylonian Exile32:47 The Return and Rigid Rules of the Jews34:14 The Evolution of Jewish Law and Morality35:27 The Bible as a Collection of Historical Stories39:22 The Concept of Heaven and the Evolution of Jewish Thought49:03 The Domestication of Humans and Evolution of Morality01:00:23 The Good Samaritan and Inherent Altruism01:01:22 Exploring the Trolley Problem01:02:15 The Organ Donation Dilemma01:03:02 Nuclear Codes and Moral Reasoning01:03:47 Utilitarianism vs. Deontological Ethics01:05:23 Inaction Bias and Moral Dilemmas01:07:47 Community Standards and Legal Theory01:09:39 Alpha Males and Wealth Tax01:11:33 Foundations of Morality01:12:27 The Ultimatum Game and Fairness01:14:39 Objective Moral Values and Reasoning01:25:57 Neanderthals and Social Cooperation01:29:20 Michael J.

Philosopher, neuroscientist, and psychologist, Joshua Greene tells us how the brain generates morality and how his research may have solved the infamous trolley problem, and in so doing created a way to encourage people to contribute to charities that do the most good, and, in addition, play quiz games that can reduce polarization and possibly save democracy.Kitted Executive AcademyPods Fight PovertyGive DirectlyGiving MultiplierJoshua Greene's WebsiteMoral TribesThe Trolley Problem in Real LifeA Buddhist Monk Faces The Trolley ProblemAlief vs BeliefTangoTango Quiz Game ResearchCharitable Giving ResearchHow Minds ChangeDavid McRaney's TwitterDavid McRaney's BlueSkyYANSS TwitterShow NotesNewsletterPatreon Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Train tracks. Split decisions. And a philosophy humdinger worth debating. Dr. Joshua Greene is a Harvard Psychology professor, neuroscientist, and *actual* Trolleyologist. The moral humdinger that has been used in everything from Supreme Court decisions to board games looks at: What makes you a good person? How do you reason with people who make you scream into a jar like Yosemite Sam? How far would you go to save others? Which charities should get your money? What is active versus passive harm? And what would a monk do? Also: how neurodivergence influences moral decisions, religion used as a moral compass, and your new favorite skeleton on the planet.

This week we're joined by comedian Francis Foster (from TRIGGERnometry) to dive into some of the biggest moral and cultural dilemmas of the moment.
More at https://www.philosophytalk.org/shows/philippa-foot. Philippa Foot invented the thought experiment that famously became known as the Trolley Problem. Despite the vast industry of “trolleyology” it inspired, Foot's goal to illuminate debates on abortion and euthanasia often gets lost in the mix. So, how did Foot use this thought experiment to distinguish between doing versus allowing? What did she mean by the "Doctrine of Double Effect"? Why did she think that cultivating classic virtues—justice, courage, prudence, and temperance—was in our own rational self-interest? And what made her later change her mind? Josh and Ray explore her life and thought with John Hacker-Wright from the University of Guelph, author of "Philippa Foot's Moral Thought."
Black leather or green unitard? Whatever your costume of choice, we're wearing it in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever (1995). Along for the ride are returning champions Kill By Kill, who help us to unpack all of the neon question marks we have about the film, including Two Face's slim backstory, the lack of Sugar and Spice, and whatever the hell Chris O'Donnell is doing. Plus: high praise for Carrey, plugs for The Cable Guy, horny Dr. Chase, and the easiest Trolley Problem in cinematic history! Questions? Comments? Snark?

This week, we're diving into the wild world of reality TV – from debating whether we'd ever star in a reality show to sharing a few hilarious stories about our own surprise cameos. The main topic of the week, though: the ethics of AI and ChatGPT. We explore the environmental impact of artificial intelligence, the ethical dilemmas of automation and why a bot's IQ is nothing without EQ. Tune in!
Jack announces his new book, Israel, Palestine, and the Trolley Problem.
This week, we're listening back to a classic... it's episode 032 - Trolleys! This goofy episode included several silly Trolley Problem scenarios, but it was also the first episode to unearth a mysterious, otherworldly creature... a creature known only as Star King. Join us as we return to the source...Egads! We've got a runaway Bus One and a surprising cast of characters directly in our path! Aidan hosts Alec, Dante, and Logan as they are forced to look deep within themselves to determine the proper course of action in various iterations of the infamous Trolley Problem.
Michael and Caleb dive into classic philosophical thought experiments to uncover Stoic solutions to impossible choices. From the infamous Trolley Problem to the Happiness Machine, they examine how Stoicism's focus on virtue, context, and roles provides a unique framework for moral decision-making.Unlike utilitarian or rule-based ethics, the Stoic approach emphasizes character over consequences, yet remains practical when facing life's hardest choices. This thought-provoking conversation challenges modern assumptions about ethical reasoning while revealing surprising Stoic positions on torture, self-sacrifice, and artificial pleasure.(01:57) Trolley Problem(14:35) Do Stoics Endorse Torture?(20:31) Happiness Machine(24:24) Utility Monster(27:14) Euthyphro Dilemma(35:53) Sinking Ship(40:59) Prisoner's Dilemma(46:11) Omelas Child(53:59) Takeaways***Download the Stoa app (it's a free download): https://stoameditation.com/podIf you try the Stoa app and find it useful, but truly cannot afford it, email us and we'll set you up with a free account.Listen to more episodes and learn more here: https://stoameditation.com/blog/stoa-conversations/Thanks to Michael Levy for graciously letting us use his music in the conversations: https://ancientlyre.com/
Dive deep into a diverse range of fascinating topics in this episode! We start with language, exploring the meaning and nuances of "All's well that ends well" and the weary feeling of "lassitude." Then, we tackle the complex future of Artificial Intelligence, equipping you with essential vocabulary. We delve into personal growth by considering the role of vulnerability, and stretch our imaginations asking "What if art could alter reality?". Test your logic with the classic "Two Doors and Two Guards" brain teaser and enjoy an original short story, "The Ink of What Is." Our journey continues into science with the Sun's protective heliosphere, history with the real story of Cleopatra, and myth-busting the idea of a medieval flat Earth. Discover the Persian myth of the Crimson Warrior, ponder the unsolved mystery of Ivan the Terrible's library, and grapple with moral dilemmas via the Trolley Problem. Learn about your brain's amazing cerebral cortex, find motivation in the value of hard work, and reflect on the importance of the present moment with a quote from Sam Harris. The episode concludes with evocative original writing in "Tales of Tunes" and the poem "A Game of Cards."

Once more into the poopy pit. Inside that mess we're aspiring to the rank of Dragonmaster, misunderstanding Jessica's social cues, hijacking the seas, letting Jessica cook in Silver Star Harmony, blowing up food, sleeping on the floor, getting my dinghy wet, better concealing the evil in our hearts, hitting Alex with a Trolley Problem, refusing to sign cleavage, suggesting a three way, repairing the marriage for the kid, avoiding hag sister friendship, debunking Fulari, and living a Total Elimination lifestyle.

Nate Williams and the Dangerous Life Team talk about some of the classic moral dilemmas and how they would handle them. If Nazis came to your door and you were hiding Jews in your attic, what would you say? If a loved one was tied up on a track, and some amount of people were on the other track, at what point would you allow the trolley to head towards that person? Finally, is cannibalism allowed in extreme circumstances?
More at https://www.philosophytalk.org/shows/judith-jarvis-thomson. Judith Jarvis Thomson is best known for arguing that abortion is morally permissible, even granting the fetus the status of person. Her colorful thought experiments illustrate that a right to life does not mean the right to use another person's body to survive. So, what exactly is a right to life and what does it permit or prohibit? Does pregnancy come with certain moral obligations to the fetus? And how can thought experiments, like the Trolley Problem, shed light on these questions? Josh and Ray explore Thomson's life and thought with Elizabeth Harman from Princeton University, author of "When to Be a Hero" (forthcoming).
Lauren Leffer joins the show to explain how silver carp are creating an environmental trolley problem.

Fan Favorite: This episode originally aired on Decmeber 5, 2017. At the age of 14, Taylor Wilson became the 32nd person in human history to achieve nuclear fusion. By the time he reached high school, he'd acquired a deep knowledge base in at least 20 fundamental fields of science and engineering. Taylor also developed a medical device that dramatically lowered the cost of cancer detection. Yet he humbly attributes his success to having insatiable passion and curiosity, not aptitude.

Step aside Trolley Problem, we have a new ethical dilemma. It does involve being Billy Zane on the Titanic, but we will not judge you for making the right decision. Lurker turned guest, Paul Scheer, joins June in an intimate conversation about survival instincts, nether region tick-removal, and his NYTimes best-selling memoir, Joyful Recollections of Trauma. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss one of the most significant philosophers of the twentieth century, Philippa Foot (1920 - 2010). Her central question was, “Why be moral?” Drawing on Aristotle and Aquinas, Foot spent her life working through her instinct that there was something lacking in the prevailing philosophy of the 1950s and 1960s which held that values could only be subjective. Could there really be no objective response to the horrors of the concentration camps that she had seen on newsreels, no way of saying that such acts were morally wrong? Foot developed an ethics based on virtues, in which humans needed virtues to flourish as surely as plants needed light and water. While working through her ideas she explored applied ethics and the difference between doing something and letting it happen, an idea she illustrated with what became The Trolley Problem.With Anil Gomes Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy at Trinity College, University of OxfordSophie Grace Chappell Professor of Philosophy at the Open UniversityAnd Rachael Wiseman Reader in Philosophy at the University of LiverpoolProducer: Simon Tillotson In Our Time is a BBC Studios Audio ProductionReading list:Philippa Foot, Virtues and Vices (Oxford University Press, 1978)Philippa Foot, Moral Dilemmas (Oxford University Press, 2002)Philippa Foot, Natural Goodness (Oxford University Press, 2001)John Hacker-Wright, Philippa Foot's Moral Thought (Bloomsbury, 2013)Benjamin Lipscomb, The Women Are Up To Something (Oxford University Press, 2021)Clare Mac Cumhaill and Rachael Wiseman, Metaphysical Animals: How Four Women Brought Philosophy Back to Life (Chatto, 2022)Dan Russell (ed.), The Cambridge Companion to Virtue Ethics (Cambridge University Press), especially ‘Virtue Ethics in the Twentieth Century' by Timothy (now Sophie Grace) Chappell
Stugotz and Billy have some major takeaways from Halloween, but Stugotz's have the rest of the crew a little concerned. Then, it turns out Lucy was not almost hit by a car (truck or van), but a trolley bus. Mike continues to despise Victor Wembanyama, Stugotz leaves to go golfing, Amin Elhassan joins the show, and we hear Kendrick Perkins' comments on James Harden's performance in the 2012 NBA Finals. Plus, the Connor Stallions story may be the best College Football controversy we've ever seen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Most of us would sacrifice one person to save five. It's a pretty straightforward bit of moral math. But if we have to actually kill that person ourselves, the math gets fuzzy. That's the lesson of the classic Trolley Problem, a moral puzzle that fried our brains in an episode we did almost 20 years ago, then updated again in 2017. Historically, the questions posed by The Trolley Problem are great for thought experimentation and conversations at a certain kind of cocktail party. Now, new technologies are forcing that moral quandary out of our philosophy departments and onto our streets. So today, we revisit the Trolley Problem and wonder how a two-ton hunk of speeding metal will make moral calculations about life and death that still baffle its creators.
