The Trolley Problem Revisited: The Comfort of Anonymized Victims

The summer flew by! Our final speaker, Nobel Laureate Dr. Robert Lefkowitz, reminded our Applied Ethics+ cohort that the path to purpose isn’t always straight. Still, curiosity, resilience, and joy in the work can take you further than you ever planned.

Companies are prioritizing hires who understand and can speak to the issues that their policy teams work on. Clearly understanding what you're building must go hand-in-hand with understanding who it affects—and how. Thanks to Prof. Ken Rogerson for speaking to our #AppliedEthics cohort! #TechEthics

What can we learn about people's #MoralCircle using dilemmas about who to save?

Daniel Martin et al. showed really nice plots of reaction times, similarity scores, and choice changes.

Significant main effect of entity x*(44) = 43,250, p < .001, and significant interaction between specie and charity, x°(132) = 593, D < .001. EEMs for the probability of saving each family across the four charity conditions: Humans had the highest average probability; mammals also received high support; birds and plants showed more variability. Insects and others consistently showed lower probabilities of being saved. Entity Distance Matrix (Ordered by Save Probability) Study 1. Profiles - From Response Times and probabilities to Moral Maps Non-donors (baseline): Humans were strongly prioritized (0.91), but little variation across other families, insects (0.20) the lowest. Global Health and Wellbeing Fund: Humans again led (0.93), with mammals (0.65) and plants (0.34) in the middle, and insects (0.20). Founders Pledge Climate Change Fund: Humans led similarly as animal adv. (0.90), while plants saw relatively higher support (0.38) than in other charities, and insects remained low (0.22). Effective Animal Advocacy Fund: Humans again led (o.86), but a more balance support across mammals (0.67), birds (0.57), and especially insects (0.19). One dimension 'distance' predicts likelihood of saving a species. 0.91> R° > 0.94 Study 2. Goal Framing and Choice History

Most ethical arguments on RtR aiding human "nature connection" & "land ownership/equity" fall flat. Responsibility? When the normative culture is not ecoliterate, expect trouble in the few remaining refugia in the UK.
