No.

In the traditional problem, the man tied to the tracks has no input in the final result, they are just a passive piece of the problem, we can assume what their thinking is and that it is how I rationalized my solution: I would expect the lever to be pulled if I was tied to the tracks and so I pull it myself knowing I would not blame the one pulling the lever for my death.

But in this scenario the man has the ability to act for himself: he can decide to jump. I would never expect him to do so (actually I would never expect 99% of people to pull the lever if they were to die themselves) because that is an action that goes too much against all of our instincts and by pushing them I would, in my opinion, commit a murder.

If I was the fat man I would not jump, and if I was pushed I would absolutely blame the one doing it for my death.

You could think that killing 1 to save 5 is the better outcome, but who decide that 1 human is less worth than those 5? It’s just the numbers? Then you could argue that between fighting WWII and submitting to the Nazi the better outcome would have been to not fight them because the people that died in camps were less then the victims of the war. Of course that’s an overblown example, but it show why I’m extremely uncomfortable with pushing the fat man: imposing your will on someone who has the ability to act is almost never the answer

Absolutely, it would still be an horrible experience

I happily live with myself. The death is on the hands of whomever tied those people to the tracks.

Yes, I pulled the lever and by so chose who lived and who died, but if I was that person alone on the tracks I wouldn’t blame the one pulling the lever, I believe it was the lesser of two evil. I would still be fucking pissed, but at the one who tied me there, not the person forced to choose.

Having the same opinion of some mainstream entities is not inherently bad, as long as you don’t blindly agree on anything. The important part is thinking critically for yourself, otherwise you are either someone who follows propaganda/ disinformation too blindly or you go too far the other way and become a conspiracy theorists and start believing antivaxxer bullshit just because you believe the opposite of anything mainstream media says

I cannot decide if this is a genually bad AD, an ironic post or someone with a VERY different sense of humour from mine, for now I have decided AD.

Genuine question, why peope don’t want a patriarchal society but wish for a matriarchal one? Isn’t it better to just have equality between all genders?

Don’t get me wrong, I also don’t want a patriarchal society and I understand what are the problems with it, but I never understood the desire to have a “main” gender

I don’t think you are being very fair about the coverage of wester media about China, we constantly hear about how the Chinese government is oppressive and evil and oppress minorities and all the fucked up things they do.

Also, you are saying that the government manage to censor everything so effectively? any post in all social media? If so, why then we know about all the other shit they are up to, if the censorship is that good? He shows some video with audio in his reports, why don’t post his unedited footage of them as proof? Then other can listen to it and confirm that the subtitles he puts on them while talking over the them are genuine and not complete fabrications, his “reports” are not censored, so I can’t se why he can’t post them.

Also in this very thread we have seen how he portrays the Falun Gong, basically Asian Scientology, a cult which venerate it’s leader as a deity, is anti gay, anti feminism, believes that every race was created by a different god and so there should be racial segregation and that claims that modern medicine is evil, as a (and I quote this video at 00:16) “Falun Gong is a meditation practice that started in 1992 in China. At the core of the Falun Gong are values of truthfulness, compassion and tolerance.” without saying anything else about them.

Is this someone trustworthy? At the very least he manipulate the truth, and at worst is a propagandist for a very evil Cult

For my claims in the thread about what terrible cult is the Falon Gong

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falun_Gong

The first paragraph after the alternative names and transcriptions chart says:

“Led by Li Hongzhi, who is viewed by adherents as a deity-like figure, Falun Gong practitioners operate a variety of organizations in the United States and elsewhere, including the dance troupe Shen Yun.[14][15] They are known for their opposition to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), espousing anti-evolutionary views, opposition to homosexuality and feminism, and rejection of modern medicine, among other views described as “ultra-conservative”.[23][24]”

For the quote I cite from David Zhang’s video you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Npqb59Z_ol8 At 00:16 seconds

I can’t source the claims I have made about Alex Jones because I heard them from the podcast “knowledge fight” around the 70/71 episode and I have no idea how to look for the actual video of Alex saying that

I’m not saying that the persecution against Falung Gong is fake, actually I believe is true, violence against minorities is another Wednesday for the CCP, but he specifically say that, and I quote: “Falun Gong is a meditation practice that started in 1992 in China. At the core of the Falun Gong are values of truthfulness, compassion and tolerance.” But the omits the fact that that group is anti gay, anti feminism, anti evolution, is anti medicine and is leader is worshipped as a deity. I wouldn’t consider someone who spread such lies as a good source, because at that point he could be lying about anything, that’s Alex Jones level of manipulation of the Truth. And you’re right, the CCP is a terrible dictatorship, b8t all the info that I have said are freely accessible by an internet search, or even on Wikipedia, they’re not some hidden secret that need protection from the CCP such that he have the right to just say things without having to prove them.

And yes, I only have this comments, I prefer to just lurk usually, but this doesn’t invalidate my points.

I watched a couple videos from this channel and done a bit of research and:

1. This guy never cites or show any sources and
2. based on his video on the Falun Gong he actively twist the Truth

I would recommend not to listen to a random guy who claims to be an “insider”
