| Jan 22 at 18:33 | comment | added | Groovy | @Philomath - that's a thing for social psychology and connected to my question only through original "problem". It's well-known btw that "not pulling the lever" is easier cause non-action feels safer than action. This thing I knew before, but for my current question it's irrelevant | |

| Jan 21 at 9:34 | comment | added | Philomath | @Groovy Let him who is without sin cast the first stone... | |
| Jan 21 at 9:21 | comment | added | Groovy | Let me disagree. Real life investigations very often show - there are concrete people behind disasters. And not just "acts of God". These "gods" have names and last names - parents, social services, officials or company workers who didn't care etc, etc. | |

| Jan 21 at 8:57 | comment | added | Philomath | @Groovy Ah well, if the negligence is on the victims' side then they are to receive their just desert. If, however, it were a case of malicious intent then we have to assume someone incarcerating the victims in a narrow valley in the hope of a boulder accidentally coming loose and crashing down the mountain. I think this is a contingency that we may well dismiss with in this thought experiment.. | |
| Jan 21 at 8:42 | comment | added | Groovy | entrapped victims on the mountain slope often imply negligence (of the victims themselves or their elders who gave bad advice or didn't warn of danger) and sometimes malicious intent. | |
