How to play
- Read each dilemma. There are two choices: one does the most good for the most people, the other does not cross a moral line.
- Choose one. There is no time limit and no score for being right, because there is no right answer.
- After six dilemmas you see a summary of how often you chose the numbers over the principle.
- Play again with different choices to see how the summary changes.
Controls: mouse or touch. Made by CalcoTools.
Tips and strategy
- Notice which dilemmas change your answer, even when the numbers are the same.
- Try explaining your choice to a friend.
- Compare your result with someone else's.
- The summary is a conversation starter, not a verdict.
FAQ
- Is there a right answer?
- No. Philosophers still disagree about every one of these cases.
- What does the summary mean?
- It counts how many times you chose the option that does the most good, instead of the one that avoids doing something wrong.
- Are my answers recorded?
- Only which summaries you have seen, on this device. Nothing is sent anywhere.
