Sep 8, 2023 at 13:23 comment added haxor789 @PhilipKlöcking Makes sense, however are these "actions" that I list autonomous activities just because I do not directly will them? The thing is I could make the decision to interfere with them. For example I can stop breathing (at least for a while). So these are different from mere reflexes, they do happen on their own and I don't pay attention to them right now, but I still want them to happen. So can it be possible to act by willful inaction? Like as soon as you become aware of a trolley problem you're making a decision regardless of whether you will your body to do anything.
