Stupid thought exercise. Lone man shouldn't be in the fucking road. No reason to swerve and regulations would ensure a one lane road isn't navigable by two cars running opposing directions simultaneously somehow devoid of the ability to brake, or see past a clipping plane of 50ft. You gotta make that road super foggy with 10% visibility while driving at 55mph for it to have applicability to reality, and then, why would the vehicles be going that fast with such shitty visibility and clipping planes? The design of the program navigating, would be at fault in that example, and the stupid programmers that let the car drive faster than it can "see."

The only way in which this scenario could be applied if in some outlandishly contrived situation that goes against the constraints of practicality.

Not coincidentally, this is why the scenario is depicted in cartoon format; it's a cartoonish scenario

I love the lens of trolley problem and you have solved them all.

Quick question, is the thug in the ghetto that will rob and shoot you because your car looks a little too nice a utilitarian, or deontological? Mind you, there's nothing objectively wrong about killing you over looking at him funny. It's just relative, since evil is a matter of perspective.

If we outlaw guns, and he physically bests you with a knife or a rock, does that make it right?

Utilitarianism is not a philosophy, philosophies have a far more universalist application. Utilitarianism is a strawman philosophy adopted by pussies unwilling to stand for anything. Pussies who are setting themselves up to be fucked by stronger men

Just a thought process here, do you think that we are living real life call of duty? O.o

You have to realize without p o l ice or govt to protect your property people can just wait outside your door at a blind spot kill you and take it... or when you sleep...

Are you planning on setting up shifts with people to guard your hoard of food? seems like a lot to live out some anti govt conspiracy fantasy.

What would be your thought process here? There are 4 guns on average for every American so don't think you got a big heads up on everyone if armed.

How would your anarchist state work? I would prefer not to have to mad max it on a whim lol

Careful. You're treading dangerously close to confirming people are not inherently good. You can kicked out of your leftist utopia for thinking something like that

And just so you realize, we already have a government. Yet, Chicago still has record breaking murder stats year over year. Chicago has some of the strictest firearms law in the entire country. Why is not working? Why are blacks still acting like savages who assign no intrinsic value to others' lives? Utilitarianism assumes the same stupid concepts as leftism; that people are inherently good. The only caveat is that leftism adds, unless you disagree with me, then you're not human to that statement.

I make no such claims.
Most people are pieces of shit, and without Christ we are all damned because of that truth.
