Trolly problem: If you don't choose the track then the trolly will derail violently. roll over,killing the passengers inside as well as those on both tracks. On one track there is a group of individuals whom you don't know on the other track there is the person that YOU love the most.

Which one do you choose?

And what is morality of both options ?

Spot the robot!

Behind the glass are 50 people in individual tiny rooms.

49 of them are actual people.

One of them is a robot that is incredibly skilful at imitating humans and wouldn't raise any suspicion actually. It can also imitate fallacies and various moral imperfections.

Each room is connected to a button you have access to. If you press it, it ☠ the person or disables the robot in it.

If you correctly identify the robot and disable it, you win $1 billion. Even if you make many wrong guesses before, you get the prize and no criminal liability/publicity at all.

You can't physically interact with subjects or use any devices, only talk to them through the glass and make your choices.

You can't ask/demand anything in exchange for releasing them – this is strictly prohibited in any form and will get you punished.

You can stop after any unsuccessful attempt or use all 50 attempts if the robot is so good you can't spot it. You can refuse to participate at all.

You have 90 minutes to win the prize.

— Do you participate and what is your strategy?

The real trolley problem.

In case you cannot read my hand writing. Would you sacrifice yourself to save 5 strangers? If you will not die to save 5 strangers, then you cannot ask anyone else to die to save 5 strangers either.

The Supermarket Trolley problem

You are Fred rogers. You went off your medication recently and it is no longer a happy neighborhood and you are now controlling the very real switch for your very real trolley. This will make you very sad and never recover. What will you do?
