Since it seems that most people here don't know what philosophy is in their post, so let's start with a simple one. How would you solve this?

Guy mowing his lawn questioning why there are train tracks in his garden. He also is the only one not casting a shadow, so probably some sort of undead creature awoken from a centuries long slumber to do some household chores, coming to terms with the fact that things aren't what they used to be.

I agree with a lot of the answers here. I remember discussing this in Philosophy class. At the time, I allowed myself to be placed in the situation where there were only two options. But over the years, I’ve come to realize that in real life the more creatively you consider the issue, the more options appear. To me, what feels so cold and calculating about Utilitarianism is that it accepts the idea that it okay to hurt some people to help others. And off you go, morally justified. It can eliminate the need for additional thought and creative solutions.

Well none of them are tied down so just tell them to get of the tracks.

🤔 do you want the standard answer or the right answer. Standard answer kill the one person. As one person is not as important as many. My personal solution you're holding a bar jamming in the tracks. Derail the f****** trolley. The friction from the wheels on the road will stop it before it hits either path saving both paths of people and more than likely everybody on board.

Easy, make sure to switch tracks at the last second so the trolley derails. The answer that is supposed to be the better amswer is switch the tracks and yell and make as much noise as i can as I'm running. Most likely I've killed someone. So if you looked at it from other perspectives it was my action that got one person killed. If i didn't do anything i had nothing to do with the 5 people getting killed. Not my fault. It was already going to happen whether or not i was there. The one person only gets killed if I do something.

How language shapes perception and expression
When hmI'm having conversations with people with a different native language, it is often interesting to note how different languages shape how people perceive the world around them, and how they express themselves with other people. For example, the word "love". In English it's a nice small word,... (edited) read more

The notion of non existence is tricky and contradictory
On one hand, why is there something rather than nothing? The answer is that nothingness and non existence have never been a possibility to begin with. The state of non existence doesn't exist. But if so, then each and every one of us should land on a great fun job that pays a lot of money, since... read more

If Truth requires Honesty and Honesty requires Belief What does Belief require?
Sort of a saying I came up with and turned into a question. I'm curious what other people will answer with. By the way it's not meant to be a religious question, but you can take it that way if you want.

Quote of the day: My Cup Runneth Over
What this Quote means is if you keep thinking from a scarcity mindset, you’ll always feel that you need more, or you can’t afford. But if you switch the mindset, it opens up opportunities you’d never imagine.
