25+ Philosophy Memes to Look at While You Consider the Trolley Problem

Ah, the old chestnut of the trolley problem. The age-old quandary that rattles every budding philosopher's brain. Is it better to flip the switch and save five people? Or do nothing and save just one? There are endless riffs and variations on this question and even more ways to answer it. It's a great discussion starter, though, if you're in a group of people who need a little kickstart to get the chatter going. It can get heated, though, and bring things out in people that maybe you didn't want to know.

Personally, I think we should be getting into more philosophical debates in our everyday lives. Instead of "Hi, how was your weekend?" We should start asking our coworkers "Do you think there is such a thing as pure morality?" That might be the cure for the Monday scaries. Or it would send everyone into an existential tailspin and they couldn't get anything done. Either way, I'm fine with it.
