3! And a trio of Sukhoi's too!
While morality may be in egrenal pro-social, it is not in every specific case. So there are times when you must choose between being moral, and being helpful.This is an odd-sounding statement to me. I egrenally think that being helpful is a subsection of being moral. So saying there are times when you must choose between being moral, and being helpful is like saying there are times when you must choose between between driving an automobile and driving a car or there are times when you must choose between having an offspring and having a son. I think you are using the term morality when you really mean moral codes. Moral codes are sets of rules developed to save computation time when trying to act morally. Rather than spend lots of time trying to weigh a course of action someone with a moral code simply follows a set of rules that have been demonstrated to, on average, produce positive results. Doing this is usually good, prosocial, helpful, moral, and so on because it means that you aren’t locked in indecision when moral choices come your way because you don’t have time to weigh your options. It’s also a good guard against corruption, a clear unambiguous code makes it harder to convince yourself you’re behaving morally when you’re not.The trolly problem is one particular rare instance where following a normal moral code has obvious bad consequences that can be seen very easily with very little necessary computation. People naturally feel uncomfortable, since their moral code normally produces good results, it feels wrong to break it.The person who acts to stop the trolly is being moral. They’re just basing their moral judgement on a cost-benefit analysis instead of a set of rules. Normally this is a bad idea, it usually takes too long and is too open to corruption. But in this rare freak event it produces better consequences than following the rules. And producing good consequences is what being moral is all about.
