Not sure why this deserves a Wikipedia article - maybe a footnote on Pascal wager?
- jhbadger 4y agoBecause it is a popular concept in itself. It's why the "Trolley Problem" also has a page even though the idea of killing one person to save five could be considered a footnote on the concept of utilitarianism.
- pharmakom 4y agoI have to be honest I have a hard time promoting the concept when it isn't far from Pascal Wager anyway and the creator sounds like a jerk (he was kicked out of various EA events). It shouldnt matter but I wonder who promoted tho idea to Wikipedia page status?Trolley problems have far more references in academic philosophy.
