On: Absurd Trolley Problems

[Aeolun]

I think it’s reasonable to assume the trolley goes fast enough to do the deed, but not fast enough it couldn’t round the bend.

[littlestymaar → Aeolun]

That's clearly a reasonable assumption, since a trolley will kill people underneath at any speed, no matter how low (the slower, the more horrible the death will be though…)

[eurasiantiger → littlestymaar]

I posit there is a small positive non-lethal speed. Where are the MythBusters… :)

If you assume you make an ass out of you and me.
