Fun philosophical experiment: should you kill the fat man?

Got an 83% consistency score on this, very interested in other people's scores here

I expected a 100% consistency score from you tbh

83% as well. Need to revisit my blanket opposition to torture.

My big inconsistency was on the third question where I voted killing is always wrong if it can be avoided

First question I opted to kill one person to save five, instant moral dilemma

Definitely pretty interesting. I got a 100%.

Yeah there are some loose correlations throughout, I viewed this more as a fun psych game rather than an accurate test by any means

Had a similar "inconsistency" to what you mentioned btw :)

In 83% consistent, but TBH the questions at the beginning seemed inconsistent with the « tests » in the second half.

Just because I don’t believe that morality is always maximizing global happiness doesn’t mean it’s inconsistent to divert to 1 person instead of 5.

don't know if i'm moral, but i'm consistent... which i'm not sure tells me anything as the scenarios are very close to 50:50 and i can't say for certain if my decisions would've been the same if they were "real"

I don’t know if anyone would stick to their morals if these were irl scenarios

This fails to factor in emotions and adrenaline which would probably alter decisions for sure

Not 100% bc in the last case i’d torture him myself
