向左走,向右走?

我驾驶着载满乘客的火车,驶到一条分叉路。
左边是我应该走的路线,而右边的路线已经停止使用了。
在左边的铁道上,有20多位小朋友在嬉戏。
而右边的铁道上,只有1位小朋友在玩。

我的火车已经来不及停下来了。
我应该选左边的路线,还是右边的路线呢?*
我没时间了,你们来告诉我。

So sami amy, which direction will you choose then?

Amy 仔 说...

got passenger in the train right..
the railway that was closed means spoiled already?
i will choose the one with one kid..and recite amitabha's name..so sorry boy..

Howard 说...

The one with only one boy is the right lane, and it's not in use.

So, you choose the left lane, many kid and lane in use.
Or choose the rigth lane, only one kid but lane not in use.

Amy 仔 说...

does not in use means will cause death to passenger if i choose?

Howard 说...

Don't know, this is an unknown.
In fact, we always making choice every single day, not every choice we know the consequences.

Amy 仔 说...

Howard 说...

Amy 仔 说...

那么你对生命的价值观应该胜过一切。

可是,一个奉公守法的小孩就白白断送了生命,而违规的孩子们却安然无恙。
那么以逻辑来看,我们应该依照大队来做事情,因为比较安全。

在心理学的角度来看,人群可以给人安全感,因为有人和你一起去进行同样的活动,即使是犯法。
在游行队伍里面,我们敢敢动粗。
可是一个人时,你是小老鼠而已。
