Your just a guy eh is in a position to choose 1 or 5. And did not. So from that point. Yes you chose to allow 4 people to die. The death of those people is on your hands when you chose to do nothing.
You seem desperate not to make the choice but the responsibility for that lack of choice still lies with you.
Just as you were in a position to choose trump or Harris. So trump is as much your fault for failing to vote a viable alternative. As if you had chosen to vote him. Just because do not like either option dose not forgive you the effect of not choosing.
You really seem to be failing to understand. And simple typos are easy to read around. I'm visually impaired so have little patience for that excuse.
As you said its a thought experiment. As you say you only have two options. Rejecting responsibility is the same as leaving the lever in the kill 5 position.
Pull or don't pull. If you pull 1 person dies. If you don't 5 die. There is no don't kill.
Yes the person tieing them to the track murdered them. But just like not voting you don't get to rewind time amd select better candidates. As the guy in the signal box. Your duty iss to direct the train. Just as your duty is to vote. Not wanting people to have been tied to the track is obviose but not an answer. Unless you are the one willing to invent a time machine. Your duty is still to direct the train.
Not voting leaves you with trump. Because you live in a fptp nation where 3rd parties just reduce the opposing vote.
Just like not pulling the lever means 5 folks died. You still had the task to direct the train. Refusing to pull the lever still leave you responsible for 5 rather then one dying.
Refusing to take responsibility dose not forgive you for failing to select the lesser evil. You are still directly responsible for choosing the greater evil by failing to pull the lever.
Rejecting responsibility and blaming others is not an option provided. Because the thought experiment recognises you live in a system where you have to make choices based on facts not your hopes and wishes. You live in a world where if you don't have the option to stop the train. Or prevent the arsehole tying people to the tracks. You still have responsibilities. I refuse to play still has an effect on the world you live in. Like it or not.
Amd its not misinterpreted. The whole point of using the trolly problem is as an example as it was designed. Thought experiments are there to help you interpret real actions by simplifying them. Not to be ignored as pointless.
Hence why the trolly problem is equivalent to a political vote. Not voting has the same effect as not making a choice between one or 5.
If you are there before they get tied to the track you do more. But that is not the situation you are in on election day.
On election day its to late to change candidates. Just as its to late to try and untie the victims. If you do not have correct of the breaks or the ability to stop the trolly on time.
Your only option is to choose or not to choose the lesser of 2 evils.
Failing to choose is no less evil then choosing the worst.
You can flip the lever to kill 5 or 1. But if you choose not to and also don't fucking bother to hit the breaks. Your still responsible for killing 5 instead of 1.
If you are not willing to actually stop the evil fai.ing to selects make you the bigger evil.
All true. But the world also watched a huge amount of voters rejects dems over gaza. While trump had no better plans on gaxa.
Much like Ukraine his only argument is "i am better and every one else was stupid"
The argument often heard. "Voting the lesser of 2 evils is still voting evil".
So yes these folks very much voted the greater of 2 evils by refusing to vote the lesser option. And much of the rest of the world is rightfully sorta pissed at the evil they allowed in.
The one really great thing about this was that it was straight-up televised proof that Trump and company are authoritarian fascists.
Anyone who did not know this. Is unlikely to be swung by this event.
They will likely agree with trumps illogical sign the deal first crap. Thinking like trump. IE "beggers can't be choosers and if Ukraine wants anything they should bow the the all mighty USA."
I've not seen any evidence that evidence matters one jot to these voters. They will interpret anything in their favour.
Remember when "presidents" used to get impeached over the smallest thing?
A president not multiple. Its nor exactly common. There has only ever been 4 presidential impeachment since since the usa formed. And only ever been one that actually happened.
Andrew Johnson 1868 impeached by Congress and removed by the senate.
Bill clinton impeached im 1998 but the democratic majority in the senate ignored it.
DON'T RUMP in 2019 but the republican majority in the senate ignored it.
DON'T RUMP again in 2021 but the republican majority in the senate ignored it.
So trump has been half of all presidential impeachment in US history.
Yeah thanks for the effort. You would be stunned at how many web sites make no effort.
Many modern web sites often fail miserably, especially scripted ones. But mostly because companies just don't care. As you say it is hard work. So when companies outsource that hard work is rarely if ever asked for up front. And the cost to modify existing site is hugew..
But remember if we are talking software. Again all the pro measures are based on 0 or 100% able. So again leave all disabled depending on solutions that slow down workload.
All the laws on the West only require reasonable accomadations. And being less productive is never considered reasonable. Or in anyway a hope for a successful career.
So with so much software moving to Web apps. Those AA standards rarely help beyond making the page usable. If your career depends on performance as almost all do. Most disabled are not able to efficiently use them.
Honestly best approach is to find some small projects you feel need help. Introduce yourself to the development team and offer time and suggestions. Eventually one will say yes.
But as a visually impaired developer I'll give you a heads up. Most pro non foss ui is freaking awfull for accessibility. The choices made over the last 20 year are just bad. OS is far from perfect. But I find the interfaces generally work way better with enlarged text then anything using modern UI ideals.
So please if you get involved. Remember accessibility is more complex the let voice assist work. Most blind folks have some vision. And rellying on the Systems accessibility options is not enough for us to be able to use software in a competitive way.
OS software using the UIs designers seem to dislike. Is generally more customisable for font sizes and colour options accross different parts of the system. In ways able folks would just never consider. This allows us to actually layout software so we only need magnifiers or text readers for things we individually rarely need to read. But can increase the stuff we do in ways that allow us to work at competitive speeds.
Modern UI design is pecomming less accessible as the software becomes much more complex but developers of ui tools seem to see disability as a 0 or 100% slowing disabled users with some ability down to the point they are unemployable.
Please please try to avoid moving the OS stuff we can use that way as well.
Either they do not believe it is a genocide. Or they are working to convince everyone they believe it is not.
Either way both are not reporting it as such. So avoiding such interviews would be hypocritical of them.
Its a bit like asking farrage why he dosent change his name to dickhead. Weather he believes he is one. Or just want you to think not. Nothing he's ever done would suggest its likely to make decisions based on admitting it.
Yep. I'm likely older than you. (coincidently bang on the age where the stats placed our votes at 50/50 )
So I was born a few years before we voted to join. And grew up watching most of the benefits becoming a part of UK life. And realise half my generation are fucking insane.
But mass population of economic differences can also overwhelm that edge.
Unfortunately the world has changed over the last 20–30 years. Technological edges have less(but still some) effect sue to ionformation technology changes and the ability to extract it.
IE, unless that edge is such a huge change that we are basically talking a new scientific disapline/form of technology. The ability and history of global communication means nations can copy the principals and develop similar design. So the war returns back to speed and ability of implementation. IE finance and population.
The only way a technology can now outweigh that is if the tech is so different top that being used. The opponents cannot formulate a basic theory of its methodology of function. IE the new discipline idea I pointed out above. This is due to war being so much more viewable due to the availability and distribution of video and communication. Deployment of weapons in a manner that cannot be seen and understood by your opponents, impractical.
Of course, this is only a hypothesis. But a logically well backed one. That military professionals are now having to consider with long term planning.
All amounts to the same thing.
