"A carriage was driving through the dense forest at an extremely fast speed, but at this time, two forked roads appeared in front of it. On one forked road, there were nine innocent civilians lying on it, while on the other forked road, there was only one civilian lying on it. , also innocent.

An ordinary rickshaw driver also has his own life. He doesn't want to hit a tree trunk and die in vain, so he must choose a forked road, and passing any forked road will crush the civilians lying on the road to death.

If you were a driver, what would you choose to do?

This is an open question. Openness means that there is no fixed answer to this question. The answer is what you think in your mind. Feel free to speak freely. "

While they were thinking hard, they didn't even notice that Carlos had arrived in the lobby. After listening to the entire topic, he quietly hid. He also wanted to know what choices his three children would have.

Such dilemma questions often reflect a person's moral philosophy.

It has troubled generations of people since its inception. Countless thinkers have thought about it, but nothing has come up with it.

But even such a topic that can make people scratch their hair failed to trap Edward in the slightest.

For the first time, he became the first brave man to answer:

"I'd jump on top of the car, then jump up before the car hit the tree, grab a branch and hide in the canopy, and no one would have to die! Oh...except the poor horse."

In response to this answer, both Carlos and Connor gave a kind smile.

This answer shows that Edward does not want anyone to die, which just shows his kind nature.

"What do you two think?"

Argyle frowned. He did not have the outrageous imagination of Edward, and was caught in the same dilemma as everyone else.

It can be said that maturity not only allows him to think like an adult, but also allows him to abandon the romance of a child.

He finally gave the answer: "I think I will let the carriage go to the side road where there is only one person."

"To society, the value of nine civilians is much higher than that of one civilian... I am sorry to make this choice, precisely because the coachman I played is also a civilian, and I am not qualified to judge that my value is higher than that civilian. Why can't it be me who dies?"

When he said this, he fell into deep thought again. At this moment, all the knowledge he had learned before seemed to be of no use, which made him very distressed.

Argyle lowered his head in frustration: "Teacher Connor, I may not be able to give a suitable answer now."

The imagined punishment did not come. Connor patted him on the shoulder and comforted:

"It doesn't matter. No one can give a standard answer so far. In other words, there will never be a standard answer. You don't have to blame yourself."

Although Argyle was quite disappointed with his answer, Carlos agreed with it.

Edward's ambitions are all over the world, and Dominic is better off living in the shadows, so Argyle is naturally his first choice to succeed him.

For a lord, when certain people must be sacrificed, the preservation of the general population is the most important aspect to consider, unless there are other factors intervening.

A lord who can think of the majority of people is a qualified lord.

"It seems that Argyle can be allowed to develop in the field of governance in the future..."

Just as Carlos was immersed in his imagination, Connor's words immediately brought him back to reality:

"So Dominic, what do you think? Your two brothers have already answered it well."

Domi knew very well that this problem was a different world version of the tram problem in his previous life. Just like the situation here, no one could solve it. Naturally, he didn't know a reasonable explanation, but he knew Connor's purpose.

Since he wanted to understand his own heart, he couldn't do what he wanted.

One of the rules of survival in another world is to never let others see into your heart.

Therefore, he will not give any answer, but instead use absolute rationality to analyze some possibilities.

"I hope this will make Connor give up questioning me..."

He rearranged the possibilities in his mind, organized his words, and finally spoke after taking a deep breath:

“If I think it’s better to die one person than nine people, that’s utilitarianism;

On the contrary, if I choose the side road of nine people and therefore kill nine people, this is deontological;

So I'm going to spend all my time thinking about which solution is more virtuous, but the wagon has run over nine people and it's virtue ethics;

So I weigh which method will not infringe on the rights of the other party. This is rights-based ethics;

Then if I put that civilian on the crossroads of nine people, then let myself lie down on it, and let the carriage run over and eventually kill eleven people, this is deathism. "

The audience fell into silence because of Domi's statement.

In silence, he met Connor's old eyes without hesitation:

“As you said before, there is no standard answer to this question.

What I am talking about are just some of the possibilities, and all possibilities are the result of extension of the human ethics principles developed today, such as moral skepticism, moral nihilism, surrealism, mechanical ethics, and self-interest. ism, etc., all have corresponding countless answers and countless disguised answers.

Before the emergence of new human ethics, all the answers I mentioned belong to one of the possibilities.

So you can think that I haven't answered any of them, or that I have answered them all. "

Speaking of this, Duomi suddenly thought of something and added:

"If I had to choose one, I think I would follow relational ethics and save the people who are close to me, even if there is only one..."

Thanks to "Where is Zuozou" for the 10000 points reward!

The boss is awesome, the boss is grand!

I wish my boss good health and all the best!

Chapter 21 21 Double opening!

[You make adults a few rounds older than you feel ashamed, villain value +2500]

When Duomi gave this reply, even adults like them didn't know how to evaluate it.

Maybe he is wrong because he can't seem to find any point to refute it. Maybe he is right because he doesn't have a specific idea.

What is this?

Compared to Carlos' confusion, Connor was more interested.

"Dominique, I agree with your answer. This shows that you are an extremely rational person and know how to avoid an exact answer in this way.

But I'm curious, where did you learn these professional terms?Kindergarten teachers and parents won't teach you this. "

In response to this, Duomi replied without blushing:

"Introduction to Philosophy, a book in the library, was placed on the table. I happened to read it for a while and remembered some words."

He barely excused himself with a reluctant excuse. Who would doubt a cute seven-year-old child?

Now, they looked at Domi with nothing but amazement, including Connor Rivers and Carlos.

Okay, I can't keep a low profile now.

As the saying goes, every loss must be followed by a gain. In order to adhere to "one of the rules of survival in a different world", he had to take this strategy.

In fact he could play dumb and give a ridiculous and popular answer.

The same effect can be achieved, the only difference is that the level is lowered and the villain value is missing.

Is he just pretending to be a villain?

Yes, there is such a suspicion.

The only thing that exceeded his expectations was that Connor only asked these two questions?

Do you really not want to ask any more questions?

Domi looked at Connor longingly, hoping that he would have a few more simple questions for his brothers.If not, wouldn't he be the most conspicuous guy?

But Connor just touched Domi's head and gave him an encouraging look: "Well done."

Domi wanted to cry but had no tears.

At this moment, Carlos also walked out, and several people stood up from the sofa.

Carlos first came to Connery and bowed, which was a sign of respect for a respected person:

"Sir, I'm finally here. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you from afar."

Because he flew here by himself, his trajectory and speed were never disclosed to anyone. Even if Carlos wanted to meet him from afar, he would have no direction or time.

Connor thought this was actually his problem. To be honest, he was quite lucky to be able to come here on his own, so he shook his head and said:

"You don't have to apologize Carlos, this is my problem and I've learned a lot along the way."

"For example, your ancestral house, and the design inside, the magic is cleverly embedded in it... Can I know who built it?"

This is not something worth hiding. On the contrary, Carlos was a little proud when he said it:

"The design was drawn by my great-grandfather's brother, and its construction took nearly a hundred years and the efforts of several generations of people in the territory. It can be said that this is the common product of all the people of the entire Blofield Territory."

Connor also didn't expect that there was such spiritual connotation behind it, and he didn't hesitate to praise it afterwards.

Duomi could tell that their teacher really liked architecture and magic, especially designs that touched his aesthetic. He would be as interested in everything as a child.

He is a pure person, is how he summed it up.

Of course, because they had known each other for so little time, this evaluation was too one-sided. Duomi just kept it in his heart and waited for it to be gradually improved in the future.

"The topic got sidetracked unknowingly, I'm sorry..." Connor coughed a few times, his expression returned to seriousness, and said: "Carlos, before you came, I already had a certain understanding of your son through several questions. , I think we can officially start teaching today.”

Carlos was overjoyed when he heard this.

As the saying goes, a child's childhood is extremely precious.

While you are taking a rest while fishing, other children are lining up for cram school 24 hours a day. After the etiquette class, they will take the cultural class, and after the cultural class, they will take the physical education class. It is a race against time!

It's great to be able to start teaching on the same day.

"That's great!" Carlos agreed immediately: "But I want to say a few words to Domi first."

clam?

What do you have to say to yourself?

He followed Carlos to the next room and sat across from each other.

"Domi, there's something I think it's time to tell you..."

Wait, this tone?

Duomi always has a sense of déjà vu when he blurts out something like "You actually picked it up from the trash can" or "He paid his phone bill to give it to his son."
