Ep 147 - The Trolley Pole Problem
from Sitting Under A Tree with Aidan Jones
Ever heard of The Trolley Problem? It's a famous thought experiment in moral philosophy that forces us to consider the power of choice by suggesting a situation where we might divert a runaway trolley on train tracks, and in doing so save many lives at the expense of a few. The Trolley Pole Problem is the same thing, but instead of a runaway trolley on train tracks, it's a runaway trolley POLE, and it's in my hand, and the only way to save yourself from getting smashed in the face by it is if you listen to this podcast. What a dilemma!
