You're making an argument for a more organized society, not a less organized society.
In your example, the solution is not letting 9 more people die but rather having a greater number of generalized doctors, in place of some specialized doctors if need be.
- fragmede 3y agomy point is more that the less organized society that we have which lets people choose their own destiny leads to one where we don't have the generalists to save the 9, so it's less of a trolley problem because of the difference in urgency.
- xkekjrktllss 3y agoYou are failing to make your point. What urgency are you talking about?
- fragmede 3y agoTrolley problem is to choice to flip a switch. If the switch to be flipped results in their deaths in 5 minutes is different than a decision that takes 10 years of advanced schooling to see the results.
- xkekjrktllss 3y agoThis is irrelevant. We either plan and fix the problem or we don't plan and don't fix the problem. That's it. There are no terms in which any proposal of yours even improves the results, so you have no point.
- fragmede 3y agoThat's unnecessarily combative. I'm not sure how we got here. Can you enlighten me as to what the problem is and why you think I'm fighting you on this?
