so you’re saying you’re willing to hurt 20 people x amount in order to save yourself y amount of suffering. Literally nothing more neurotypical than that.
That’s not what I said. I just said the cost was significant, because you said “at no cost”. I didn’t say I would never pay it.
Also, twice now you’ve relied on wild hyperbolic statements to make your point. If I may offer some advice - I think avoiding those is better online, as they makes your comments seem like emotional knee-jerk, which undermines your credibility.
why is my interpretation of your statement an ‘emotional knee-jerk’? That is exactly the logic people do on an hourly, perhaps minute-by-minute basis every day. Human brains are just emulators for the trolly problem.
The cost is dishonesty, which to me is significant.
