Illusion of interdependence. I have really only one choice: Pull or don't pull. Pulling has two potential consequences, I don't control which will manifest. Not pulling has two potential consequences, I cannot control which will manifest.

Pulling: Loved ones live / three strangers die OR "almost everyone killed".

Not pulling: One loved one dies OR One loved one dies.

There's a hidden variable here too: I don't love strangers? But set that aside for now.

@phaedral @dramypsyd Not pulling: one loved one dies and three loved ones might die. The problem is symmetrical, implying that your loved ones are their strangers and vice versa.

Edit: I examined the diagram late and now see the color code. Oof! Also you were correct.

@Linza @dramypsyd My mastodon instance doesn't allow enough characters for this, but I do not think you are reading the set up correctly. Each "player" has a trolley full of loved ones. Each "player" has to consider killing "one loved one on the tracks" or "three strangers on the tracks." If both pull their levers not only do three "strangers" die, but two trolleys of loved ones. Only the loved ones on the tracks would seem to survive.

No?
