Re: Sciency
Nice, Vrede. Thanks for the suggestion of watching the 'till the end. 
I've seen much related to such (even multiple rooms painted, or taped, so, at just the right viewing angle, it appears far different than reality).

I'll be around more ... just a lot to catch up on ...

I bet the unveiling included booze and a surprise or two

Re: Sciency
I had read about those particular moral dilemmas before, but I don't think I'd heard about it in the context of psychopathy.
Interesting. (Turns out I'm not.)

It's a shame more people didn't watch and answer, I was really curious.

How can we know for sure that something else won't intervene to save the 5, or that the 1 isn't somehow more valuable to humanity than the 5, or that the 1 wouldn't live to somehow save far more than 5? Plus, I'm loathe to take deliberate action to kill someone. Now, if it was 500 or 5000 rather than 5 it gets trickier for me.bannination wrote:It's a shame more people didn't watch and answer, I was really curious.
So, answering "No" to the second question means I'm not a psychopath but, according to the psychologist, answering "No" to the first question means I'm abnormal. He doesn't say if there's a name for in what way.
I thought of it as a perfect world scenario and that there was no ifs only the choice itself. You're right though, it gets much more hairy when considering a real world scenario.

I answered "no" to the first question, and "yes" to the second.
