yeah me too tbh
:( Why
The Drowning Child
This activity looks at some of the issues raised by two articles written by philosopher Peter Singer: the first, the seminal, âFamine, Affluence, and Moralityâ; the second, a somewhat shorter article called, âThe Drowning Child and the Expanding Circleâ (itâs probably best if you read these articles after, rather than before, you undertake this activity).
It is necessary to make a couple of things clear before we get going. The first is that if youâre a moral nihilist - i.e., if you think thereâs no such thing as right and wrong - then this activity probably isnât for you. (Try out one of our logic exercises instead, such as Elementary, My Dear Wason?).
The second has to do with the nature of the scenarios youâre going to be asked about. These are variations on a single baseline scenario (which was first introduced by Professor Singer). The important point is that you should treat each variation on its own terms. In particular, the changes introduced in a particular variation donât carry over to the next variation - all variations are a modification of the original baseline scenario.
Okay, thatâs it really. Youâre ready to go.
wrong one
how is it an unsolved problem it is the definition of a quantum superposition
Would You Eat Your Cat?
The aim of this activity is to tell you something about how you view the morality of behaviour that many people would consider to be âdisgustingâ or ârepellentâ or âobviously wrongâ, but where it is difficult to explain exactly why the behaviour should be seen this way.
A couple of points before we start:
-
The activity asks you to make judgements about a number of scenarios. You need to treat these as if they are accurate descriptions of real-world events. In other words, weâre interested in your judgements about the events as they are described here , not as you imagine they would actually occur if they really were real-world events.
-
You will be asked to make Yes/No choices. If you arenât sure whether to choose âYesâ or âNoâ, opt for the response youâre most inclined towards. You should then take this into account when you read the analysis at the end.

we can be rowdier because we know we wonât be allowed to stray too far

you canât solve superpositions thatâs the point
As with most of the activities on this site, we need to start by asking you a few preliminary questions so we can get a general idea of your views about things. This wonât take long.
Question 1: A small girl is playing on a swing in a local playground when an adult comes along and pushes her off into the dirt for no other reason than that heâd had a bad day at work and wanted to take it out on somebody who couldnât fight back. Are his actions morally wrong?
Yes
No
