Can I get a smug lecture on how you’re choosing the third, disconnected track?

        No, it’s a philosophical dilemma used to talk about ethics. It’s completely terrible as a tool for what you’re proposing, since all it does is create a strawman like the one OP has made.

          … its defined as a thought experiment and I was the one saying it wasnt a tool.

            You were the one saying it was a logic test. You then went on to call it

            a thought experiment meant to elucidate or test an argument or theory

            Which would make it a rhetorical tool, wether you want to call it that or not.
            Which is why I pointed out you’re wrong.

            W/e youre protesting too much.

            I think I’m gonna have to use this one whenever someone disagrees with me. What a copout.

                I dunno know, would a salmon still be a fish if it had legs? Since we’re just saying shit that has nothing to do with what’s going on.
                We’re talking about the trolley problem, the philosophical dilemma. You’re the one arguing it’s something else.

                oure not even disagreeing with me youre just protesting.

                you’re not even doing the thing you’re just doing a synonym.
