I'm a Rule Consequentialist in principle but a virtue ethicist in practice.
for those who are unaware, there are three main branches of normative ethics.
(1) Consquentailism
(2) Deontology
(3) Virtue ethics.
Also, an answer to the trolley problem would be cool. I should kill the 1 to save the 5.
I have no idea what those 3 options entail... a small two sentence explanation of what each is would help.
The trolley problem... I'd waste time looking for a solution that would allow me to save everyone and sacrifice the one at the last possible minute. That is if all those 6 persons were total unknown to me.
Proximity/antipathy to any of them would skew the result.
