So he changed the trolley problem from being a moral dilemma into whether or not he will be liable for their deaths.

The title is wrong. It should be "Trolly Problem but there's a Liability Standpoint"

16:07 The genie is probably deaf so you couldn't just yell "I wish I wasn't on the train tracks!" to him, thus solving the issue with no deaths.

Jordan has the sketchiest reasoning for why he chooses what he chooses but by god its hilarious to watch

The mental gymnastics Jardon will go through to avoid resolving a moral dilemma is truly astonishing

"If I divert a train to a small child, I will be cancelled on twitter" 😂I think that is the least of your concerns

33:17 "He didn't die!" "Killed" counter: increases by one

I was honestly expecting him to be teleported to the tracks and be run over by the snail train, but the sudden death was funnier!

With all the LegalEagle shoutouts, I hope he actually picks this video up 😂😂😂😂

This is uniroinically the most sociopathic trolley problem video I've ever seen, and I want this to be a Jordan Reacts series.

The basic original trolley problem has always been tricky for me cuz yeah it’s 5 vs 1 to die but also a failure to save isn’t murder, but actively diverting the trolley elsewhere to knowingly hit someone is murder.

The train hitting the wall sadly isn't a create mod thing, the map just detected the train and destroyed the wall, playing an explosion sound

Philosophers : The trolley problem is a difficult moral question that reveals much about human nature and the inner workings on the mind! Jardon : Liability tho

18:00 For the double or nothing scenario it would only take 33 people to pick double before you reach the current human population on the world

At 17:58 , the 32nd person to gets to choose between doubling to kill the entire world or killing half the population like thanos...

The issue I face with the trolley dilemma is that as you're technically always liable for your action. As soon as you're put into that situation and given the details of the outcomes, if you now "do nothing" and don't pull the lever, it's still an active decision you made.

Your honor, I just wanted to see what would happen.

18:29 you see 8 ppl died in the counter, so it doubled 2 more times

Legally throwing a switch on a trail track is a felony so the fact someone dies is just an added charge

20:30 how can I die from a train falling on my house. Well the AN-225 DID transport a train or locomotive, so all it takes is for someone to actively set the train free at 10000 feet and it finding Jardon. Would sadly end Jardons Cardons and Jardons Gasdons.

absolutely perfect execution of the "double it and give it to the next person" format

The trolley problem is a moral question not a liability one 😂😂😂 there's no legal framework involved.

The people that are filming the situation should be responsible for not helping to get the other people off the tracks

Someone should ask @LegalEagle to do one of his law reviews on this video an tell us just how much in fines/jail time that @CaptainSparklez2 is on the hook for since he asked for it!

You may not be liable for the villagers, but you are liable for saying liability

Actual psychopath "I could be sued if I do anything so I won't even try to save lives"

Heyyyy I was gonna do that Eh, I still will.

Thanks for playing my map!

We've got five people stuck to the tracks screaming in terror and for help, sparklez tied to the other with a gun he's not interested in just shouting at the top of his lungs to the lever puller "LIABILITY!!!!!" over and over

Jokes on you those 5 people's families will sue you for NOT doing anything when you could of saved them. 😑

Trolley problem is that you are responsible for the lever (imagine you work on the rails) so all unalives from not pulling lever are liable to you. Just in case you misunderstood that part.

"If I stay away from traintracks.. It won't just fall on my head, right?" Asdfmovie: Hold my beer.

16:57 The way the Cap leans in to get a closer look at the "genie" lolol

i like the liability angle.... its a very jardon solution

The correct answer to the trolley problem is to pull the lever **while the trolley is on the switch,** derailing it and saving everyone.

i love your freshly peeled head jardon

Ngl this could all be done with command blocks and much more polished and nice. Maybe I will do that at some point.

Yes, of course I would. I hate not knowing when I’m going to die, I want to know when I’m going to die and I can be certain of when I die if I make myself get hit by a train. 11:36

captainsparklez x henzoid is an iconic duo

You know, I never thought I'd see a video where Jardon goes on for a full minute about things coming at his face...

32:55 love the movement here, beeg jumps

I now hope someone makes a sparklez themed trolley problem map. Do nothing and alt world Dnite gets hit, pull the lever and jerry gets splattered

18:48 but you're choosing either to have 1 person die or guaranteeing that at least two people will die later so you're not just giving responsibility to someone else. You're both making someone else suffer the trolley problem and guilt WHILE killing others.

First trolley problem you can be sued for negligence probably if you're capable of changing

Jardon never underestimate an Americans ability to sue someone for doing nothing.

Leave it to Jardoon to care more about whether the action will cost him money than whether it kills people...

2:43, you can be sued for criminal neglect

Ask not for whom the train goes - it goes for thee.

this video is the reason i had a dream about trains and thank you 🙏

Oh, the deaf genie can’t hear you wish to survive or the train not to hit you

JARDON i just realised why the genie was deaf! its so he cant hear you if you were to yell a wish to save both of you or wish for the train to stop. he cant hear you and you cant see each other bc of the wall!

Captain, the liability factor takes away from the point of these. That should only be factored in when it says something like “you are being filmed” as you saw.

We love the reasoning behind moral dilemmas

Another lawyer made a video about the trolley problem.

This is why its illegal to walk or be on train tracks

All it would take is 34 people for it to end all life with the doubling question

By choosing to kill the 10y old child instead of the child's family and friends Jardon deprived the world of a Batman and was thereby responible for the deaths of many more innocent people.

Love the video!

Jardoons biggest concern is being canceled on twitter for killing a small child

I saw a video once where this was done in real life. Noone does but the people didn't know that. It's so interesting.

jordans loss here is that he fails to recognize the duty to rescue and good samaritan laws that would get him sued in his liability standpoint choices.

Wait until Jardon finds out that the Trolley Problem is literally about Liability and not about the Needs of the Many the question that the Trolley Problem is trying to solve isnt whether you save more people, its whether your choice to save people makes you responsible for the death of the one person.

I think the trolley problem has the important caveat that you need to consider: there's a reason why the train is on this track and not that track. You don't know if the other track is even functional. Sure, by diverting the train you may save those 5 people (who...why were they even there in the first place? Since they know it's an active train track, don't they have a plan to get off? The person on the other track definitely wasn't expecting a train to go down it, so he might not notice in time) but you also might derail the train and kill hundreds more people at the same time when the train derails and hits a school bus, a nursing home, and an ambulance. Is it worth it to chance derailing a train and killing hundreds just to guarantee to kill that one person instead of maybe killing five other people who may or may not have a plan to get off the track in time?

Trolley bring big problems to home and the nothing doing no work and suffering from the bad works not being elite and then the counts going up high and then just going elite but yes the fun plays going well and the Jardon being in the Map good

I'm impressed by how many people completely miss the point of the trolley problem and dump on his approach. The whole point is to apply some kind of moral or ethical thought to it. Utilitarianism directs to minimize lives lost, but many other systems would tend more towards doing nothing approach as in this video. It can be argued that the act of doing something constitutes murder in the case of this problem, and inaction does not. Viewing it through the lens of liability does present a fairly consistent set of results and they are based around the idea of personal risk mitigation. Is it ethical? Debatable - I mean, that's the whole bloody point innit? There is literally no "correct" answer to these problems because they're dumb, contrived scenarios.

Trolley hurt

Is the 'doing nothing because then they can't sue me' actually true? Like, isn't not helping in an emergency a crime? Wouldn't the families of the 5 people be able to argue that? I hate the whole 'liability'-shtick. Like, imagine someone's drowning, but when you save them you acidentally hit their head, causing a small wound (they could sue). But if you don't do anything they will die, would you just let them drown?

In the one where the engineer can see, as a person who knows people, an engineer would much rather kill one person than 5.

There better be some trussy in this map

39:35 But the conductor already died in scenario 5

Tbh the liability thing doesnt really matter bc how will their family know

i think the deaf thing was so that you couldn't ask the ginnie to stop the train or something.

(not a lawyer) i looked it up and i think if you were in a trolley problem where your life was at stake it could be called a "justified homicide" so long as you could prove you had no ability to escape the situation and you had a convincing enough reason to believe that your life was in danger. i could not find any examples where the homicide resulted in the death of a third party bystander instead of the alleged assailant (who in this case would be the trolley conductor most likely) but you could probably argue that this qualifies

"blinding the conductor" REALLY pains me to hear, as the conductor is not the person which drives the train

BRO! You need to try this new map called ChunkLock! It is AWESOME!

The liability kinda removes most of the point, but still interesting in another way

the killed counter is a bit off, theres a few times where it will add numbers, even though the train diverted, just a fyi

greater good theory would make this so different

You're liable no matter what you do, yea

Liability can also be seen from a personal standpoint. Did you knowingly do nothing, allowing deaths, or did you intentionally act, causing one person's death and have to live with your guilt.

To answer how many doubles it would take to get to world pop. Is between 32 and 33 times

The kill counts increases no matter what you do sometimes, thats weird. Killed noone and you still got 5 kills. 18:50 he even got 8 kills on his counter because the person in the future who was met with "8 people or double for the next" didn't pull the lever. Which makes no sense, captain sparklez is not responsible for the death of those 8 people.

double it and give it to the next person

21:54. Maths nerd here. 52 1/2% is not a percentage. If you want to have half a percent of a unit, it would be 52.5% not 52 1/2% as that's mixing percentage and fractions

At 23:40 he hits do nothing so the train should go forward and kill the person

Bro thinking only about liability and not people's lives is wildly selfish that's crazyyy

18 unalives were added in the double or nothing scenario, how is 18 the number added? It's not a power of 2 😮

10 scooter anklers

Self preservation for sure Innocent

You're liable for all deaths and injuries as your inputs could change the outcome.

Twitter would cancel you, but on X you can get monetized.

Unfortunately, doing nothing means you are loitering.

So... at what point did you all put the video on 2x speed? For me it was around the 10:40 mark. :)

Wait

12:00 you wouldn’t be charged with murder but self defence doesn’t extend to the death of an other person so you would be charged with manslaughter

And who is this conductor, Alec Baldwin?

real

who hurt this man??

37:37 Why did the kill count go from 43 to 49? 🙄

30:27 If you pull the lever, the child will become Batman
