Since it is mentioned that Su Waner is more important than the plan that represents the interests of many people, there is one thing that must be discussed, and that is the clichéd tram problem. Maybe you want to ask why this is related to the tram problem again? Do you want to reduce the number of words again?
But is this the case? As for the "neutral" force part of Ye Feng's plan, choosing the Sky Fox Ancestor is the best option. However, if he kills the Sky Fox Ancestor for Su Waner, he will have to choose the second-best option after giving up the best option. Although there is only a one-word difference between the optimal plan and the second-optimal plan, how many more people will die if that one-word difference? Hundreds? Thousands? Thousands? Maybe even more, so you still think this is not the trolley problem?
In Ye Feng's eyes, all lives are equally important, including his own. The importance or weight of life will not change due to any external factors such as quantity, status, appearance, etc. If you use a mathematical model to explain it, you may understand that the importance of all human lives is zero or positive infinity.
When Ye Feng answered An Lin's tram problem earlier, Ye Feng said that "equally important" means "equally unimportant", "equally important" means that everyone is positive infinity, and "equally unimportant" means that everyone All are zero.
One zero is zero, and the sum of countless zeros is still zero.
One infinity is infinity, but aren’t countless infinities still infinity?
And this mathematical model also explains why Ye Feng will not solve the train problem according to the principle of the minority obeying the majority. Because quantity is by no means the answer to the train problem, it is far inferior to Ye Feng’s original answer to An Lin: “Whether you choose the majority or the minority, just make the choice that best reflects human dignity and pride.” But even so, Ye Feng didn't dare to make such an answer public.
If you want to jump out and say, Ye Yu, you are wrong. The minority must obey the majority. So you might as well ask, is it necessarily right for the minority to obey the majority?
At the end of the story in "fate/zero", the protagonist Emiya Kiritsugu encountered a multiple-choice question, which perfectly explained the problem of "the minority must obey the majority".
Emiya Kiritsugu is a person who has the world in mind and hopes that every corner can be filled with love and peace. He did whatever it took because he could not forget the obsession in his heart from beginning to end. He is a true partner of justice, but he never gives up brutal killing as he moves forward. He maintained that he would not hesitate to give up the interests of the few for the interests of the many. In order to implement the justice in his heart in the early stage, he killed his father who was conducting Death Apostle transformation experiments, and even killed his beloved adoptive mother who was infected by Death Apostle bees. And all this is for the sake of the majority at the expense of the beliefs of the minority. It is difficult for us to say whether Emiya Kiritsugu's behavior at that time was right or wrong. Perhaps the choice we make is not as good as Emiya Kiritsugu's in a different place. But this conflict reaches its peak at the end of the anime, because the Holy Grail tells Kiritsugu a story that will happen in the future. That is the multiple choice question:
At the end of the world, the entire earth fell into a vast ocean, and only 500 people and Emiya Kiritsugu were left in the entire human race, a total of 501 people. There were 300 people on one side and 201 people on the other side of the two ships, and Emiya Kiritsugu was among those 201 people. At this moment, there are holes in both ships and they are sinking. Only Emiya Kiritsugu can repair the big holes, but the time from now until the ship sinks is only enough for him to repair one big hole, which means that he must choose to save the ship. Those 300 people are still these 200 people.
This is a typical trolley problem with no creativity at all, but it is indeed the most naked and soul-piercing problem. Of course, for Emiya Kiritsugu, who had firm faith, he naturally chose to save those 300 people, but the 200 people stopped him. After all, these 200 people also wanted to live, so Emiya Kiritsugu killed 200 people to save them. Those 300 people. Maybe you will think it is cruel, but what if it is not 300 to 200, but 400 to 100? Is it 450 versus 50? Are you excited? Then what if I give you a preferential condition, 499 to 1? Can I sacrifice that person with peace of mind?
So when it comes to you, no, to be precise, it’s human nature? If it's a life-and-death situation, what's the acceptable threshold for sacrificing a few people in your heart?
But the Holy Grail's test for Kiritsugu was not over. The next 300 people rescued abandoned the original damaged ship and boarded two new ships. However, new holes appeared in the two ships. Only Kiritsugu could repair it, and it was 200 on each side. And Kiritsugu was with the remaining 100 people, so he could only save one ship, and 100 people were blocking it. Kiritsugu. The cycle repeats itself, and eventually only Emiya Kiritsugu's wife and daughter are left in the world. This is the consequence of Emiya Kiritsugu's insistence on justice.
Maybe you will say that this is too exaggerated. Of course, experimentation is an ideal state, but if you regard the minority obeying the majority as an absolute truth and implement it, you alone may not do much harm, but when everyone believes so , do you think the result of Kiritsugu’s choice will really not happen? You know this answer better than anyone else.
If you say, I want to break the rules,
"I want them all!"
I just want to say that you are too sweet, or say directly to you: "Ah, yes, yes. You are so right."
Remember, when you encounter a fool in life, the best way to deal with it is not to refute him, but to encourage him and let him become a big fool.
. . . . . .
Have you ever thought about how you would feel if that 1 was you when it was 499 to 1? Just because you are not a minority, but a majority, can you ignore the feelings of the minority and feel at ease?
If human life can be measured by other things, such as quantity, then what Mustache does about racial supremacy is right.
At this point, do you think that in the face of the tram problem, the choice of the minority to obey the majority or Ye Feng's choice is the best? Perhaps Ye Feng's choice cannot allow mankind to truly survive, and it will also lead to the destruction of mankind, but at least it can leave behind human dignity and pride, while the former leaves nothing behind.
