The Trolley Problem: Would you kill the fat man?

Chances are you've heard some version of this before, but it's worth revisiting. A runaway trolley is hurtling down the tracks toward five unsuspecting workers. You're standing on a footbridge above, and beside you is a large man. If you push him onto the tracks, his body will stop the trolley. He will die—but the five will live. Would you do it? What if pushing him saved a hundred people? This is no idle riddle. Our responses to this famous thought experiment (and many variants of it) reveal how we weigh consequences, rights, and intentions, and how our moral intuitions can clash with our moral reasoning. Moreover, these choices matter in the real world. From foreseeable risks to civilian lives in military action, to public‑health decisions about allocating scarce vaccines, to autonomous vehicles deciding who to save in a crash, trolley problems offer an accessible way to confront the hard edges of moral decision‑making in the modern age. Let's dive in. ***Primary Reading: [An Introduction to the Trolley Problem](https://1drv.ms/b/c/adb4f7488b2eef0a/IQCJWblmfROdQ57-BP0B6yCtAarIwZk1SPyFG157nZiDWN0?e=hjP4jO)*** (document prepared for this discussion) ***(Optional) Book: Would You Kill the Fat Man? The Trolley Problem and What Your Answer Tells Us About Right and Wrong (2014) by David Edmonds*** For this meetup, we’ve prepared a 40-page guide that introduces the Trolley Problem, its philosophical significance, and what neuroscience has learned from using it to study moral decision-making. The guide includes sixteen scenarios, each probing different aspects of moral thinking: How do we weigh consequences against rights? Does intention matter more than outcomes? Do personal relationships override impartial calculation? When is it acceptable to use one person to save many? These scenarios reveal the complexity of our moral intuitions and will form the heart of our discussion. Hopefully the prepared guide will leave you wanting more. If so, David Edmonds' *Would You Kill the Fat Man?* is a wonderful next step. Edmonds traces the fascinating history of the Trolley Problem, interviews philosophers who've wrestled with it, and explains the competing moral frameworks with clarity and wit. It's highly readable and brings real depth to these abstract dilemmas—but it's entirely optional. The guide has everything you need for our discussion. As always, we strongly encourage you to do the reading before attending. This will enrich both your experience and our collective discussion. We’ve also put links below on further resources on the topic. So join us for a drink (and optional meal) at 6:30pm on Monday, 1st June, on the 2nd floor of the Keg & Brew Hotel in Surrey Hills (i.e. up two flights of stairs). The venue is conveniently located near Central Station and the Light Rail. We look forward to seeing you there! P.S. Please adjust your RSVP if you have indicated that you will come but are no longer able to do so. This is courteous to other people if there is a waitlist. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- These are just optional links to consider.

Volleyball Competition, Dinner & Drinks

💰**Competition** If we have enough people we will run the competition. Join Whatsapp Group: (If failed to join on whatsapp, DM me your number I can add you myself) [https://chat.whatsapp.com/H5ja11KunFkIKFcpRKEVbP](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H5ja11KunFkIKFcpRKEVbP) ℹ️ **Game plan** **Competition 3:30pm - 7:30pm** **Dinner 7:45pm** The idea is to have fun and win a price $$ in a competition. We will be having a competition and 1 team will win a price at the end and the winning price is 70% of the total entry fees. 30% percent will go towards our group budget. You will be in a team of 5 players or less or more. Choosing a team - randomly counted by the organiser, if your number is #2 then you will be playing with a player who is counted as #2 and compete with other team. If your team wins then you will compete with the other winning team. Will play a game from last winning team until the end of competition. Losing team will not have a chance to win. We cannot always determine how many people attending, some will arrive early and some will arrive a little later. Late comers will still have chance to be in the competition. But you must arrive **15 mins early** before the game. Depending on how many players in a last winning team. If your team have won the final game and no late comers to challenge you during the competition period. Your team automatically win the price. We want to make sure every attendees gets a chance to play the competition. If you are late, you will be registered to be in a team and you will be competing with the people who already won the game to win the price and must win higher points than the winning team. If the team your competing against has already won once or your late arrival team must won more than the other team your competing with. To make it fair, new team points is 0 until your team has won and gain a point. So if you have been playing and your team has won a game of first to 21 scores during the battle your team gets a point of 1. Your team point goes up every time your team wins. **📃 Game Rules** \- Score first to 21 points \- No kicking or head butting the ball\, will make the other team score \- Serving the ball must be outside the line \- No touching the net at all times \- No blocking a serve \- Can only pass the ball twice\, third must hit the ball towards the opposing team \(total 3 hits\) if 4 hits will make the other team score \- When the ball drops outside the court line is out\, on the line or in the court line is in \- 1 team reached match point to win \- if both teams reached match point\, score two more points to win \- if your team lost once your team is out of competition and you are not allowed to join other team to compete or form a new team **📃 Winning Cases** **Case #1** \- last winning team of 6 people\, will win the price at the end if only no more late comers to challenge your team\. **Case #2** \- last winning team of 5 people\. automatically win the price if only no more late comers to challenge your team\. **Case #3** \- last winning of 4 people will win the price at the end if only no more late comers to challenge your team\. **Case #4** \- last winning team of 3 people\, So 3 people automatically win the price if only no more late comers to challenge your team\. **$30 competition fee cash or payID** 30% goes to meetup cost, equipment and game management Our attendees numbers usually around 30 to 100+ people RSVP per event. Last competition had 40+ people. So if we have 40 attendees, each pay $30 competition fee that's a total fees of $1,200 dollars. Not always the case! 70% of that fees is the winning price and 30% set aside for game management, equipment and meetup cost. So $1,200\*0.70= $840 is the total winning price divided by your team players and will be paid in cash or payID after the game. The other 30% is to cover the meetup cost, equipment, nets, balls, photos, videos and music and further improve and manage our events. Losing teams is out of competition, and can continue to play for social games. **Sydney Beach Events/We are NOT liable for any injuries, health issues or damage costs.

PROSECUTION - German FF @ Palace Central

***PROSECUTION - German FF @ Palace Central - - -*** Prosecution is an engrossing tale of good versus evil that cleverly combines legal drama and thriller for a powerful and urgent story about the realities of Germany’s judicial system. With all the resources and authority of the state behind her, self-assured young German-Korean prosecutor Seyo Kim (Chen Emilie Yan) is determined to confront far-right violence in eastern Germany. But when she becomes a target, surviving a racist attack, Seyo decides to investigate on her own, defying explicit orders from her superiors and putting her life further at risk. When she finally succeeds in bringing one of the attackers to trial, she fights to expose him as part of a wider right-wing network, digging deep into her office’s archives and weaving a tangled web of connections. But throughout the trial, Seyo begins to learn what it means to trust the pursuit of justice in a state that applies double standards and downplays far-right violence, as the system’s myth of objectivity begins to crumble. The movie starts at 8.45 pm so I will meet you about 20 mins before. Please only RSVP ATTEND if you are certain you will be there. Tickets can be bought on the night at the box office or online below. I have seat F7. **[https://www.palacecinemas.com.au/movies/ger26-prosecution](https://www.palacecinemas.com.au/movies/ger26-prosecution)** Any questions please put a message in the comments below or if on the day text me on 0498826506 Ta Maggy

Unhurried Conversations - Sunday

Bring yourself, we will go over how Unhurried Conversations works.

Unhurried Conversations at the Pub

In an unhurried conversation, there is time to think differently and connect with people in a refreshing way. Unhurried isn't always slow. It offers a pace where people find it easy to join in and not feel crowded out. And listening can be as satisfying as talking. We use a simple meeting format to make this happen. https://www.unhurried.org/ This newly created event is at a new venue, the Keg & Bew Hotel at Surry Hills. We meet on the 2nd floor around 6:15pm. Food and drinks are available, before and after, on the ground floor and roof top.

Explore Proposed New Southwest Metro Path

Seizing on the success of the Greenway, the NSW Government has announced a new 'Active Transport Corridor' along the soon to opened Metro between Sydenham and Bankstown. Much of this corridor already exists, either as paths, footpaths or quiet streets. It remains to be seen what the design is, and what happens at the major road crossings. Announcements are cheap. Come with me as we explore where this corridor will go, what some of the alternatives are. We can view much of the progress of the Metro (the Bankstown Plaza, the stations) and we may get some glimpses of metro train sets being tested. Part of the corridor is also a major freight corridor. Unlike the Greenway, this corridor will link major centres, community facilities and metro stations. We meet at the 'Yarn Circle', the point at Tennent Parade, Hurlstone Park, where the Greenway meets the Cooks River Path. This is just a short ride down from the Dulwich Hill L1 Light Rail terminus (Jack Shanahan Park) and is next to Lang Rd bridge. Meet at 8:30 ready to ride, with a bike in good working order, spare tube, helmet, water and sunscreen. We will ride along the Cooks River Path to Carrington St, we won't actually go to Sydenham station (BTW the Metro is not running that weekend) pause, and then continue on back streets, paths etc, all the way to Bankstown. We do ride on a number of quiet streets, jump footpaths, so it is not a straightforward ride. At Bankstown (we may have coffee at Belmore or Bankstown - to be decided) you have the option of catching the train to Lidcombe, then another train back to the Inner West. I will ride on to pick up the M5 Linear park at Salt Pan Creek. This will take us back to Earlwood, a few hills, then back to our starting point. The full ride is 34 km. I would class it more intermediate rather than beginner.u
