I had a total bias against intervening to change the path of the trolley toward one or more people (regardless of what was on the other track), but also a bias toward action if something other than a person could be run over instead, and I only got 69.
I'm surprised that "saved" 15 people compared to a bias toward inaction in general.
- _Algernon_ 4y agoThe bias wasn't absolute. I sacrificed the 5 people to save best friend for instance.
