Also what color is the suit. And what type of watch. On principle I will not ruin a blue blazer or a rolex

A charity collection takes place in your office. For every UK£10.00 given, a blind person’s sight is restored. Instead of donating UK£10.00, you use the money to treat yourself to a cocktail after work. Are you morally responsible for the continued blindness of the person who would have been treated had you made the donation?

Responsible
Partly Responsible
Not Responsible

Honestly i feel like for the $10 blindness problem i wouldnt donate but literally bc i Wouldnt Believe Them and would want to do my own research later and then forget to

#18555

i mean
idk the origins but like the trolley problem that is commonly talked about does not have that

#18556

oh, I absolutely agree

but, if you donate 10% of your income, that’s still a lot more than 0%. obviously if you’re trying to maximize every single possible scrap of utility, you’ll drive yourself to metaphorical insanity but that doesn’t mean you can’t still try to work with the sort-of-person-you-are

You pasted the wrong question again

#18562

“ARETE FLASHBANG”
*arete drops the ak they were holding “I can’t do this”

#18563

this is true
this is what you said your attitude towards veganism was a bit earlier right?

#18564

Is the cocktail shared and making you closer emotionally with any of your colleagues? If not, are you in desparate need of it to take the edge off your life’s anxiety

Someone you have never met needs a kidney transplant. You are one of the few people who can provide the kidney. Would any moral obligation to provide the kidney be greater if this person were a cousin rather than a non-relative?

Yes
No

this is trivially solvable by putting in like ten minutes of research for the charity you’re considering donating to

I think for the quiz question you’re supposed to assume the charity is telling the truth

arete will accidentally replicate the fake flash pistol play that everybody tried doing after s1mple did it once but itll somehow work
