Ep. 4: Splat! Splat! Splat! Went the Trolley (part 1)


Listen Later

Spock: "Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."

Kirk: "Or the one."

-The Wrath of Khan, 1982

OR DOES IT? Is Spock right, or is he just full of sh*t? Maybe he needs to read more Kant... Just kidding. No one needs to read Kant. Because WE read it for you! Listen as Matt and Joe tackle one of ethics' most famous and memeable thought experiments, the Trolley Problem, and the consequentialist vs. deontological implications for real-life decision making.
