One must imagine Maths grads happy
i
sqrt(-1)
The answer is obvious. You need 2 trolleys to take both tracks.
People = good
People = good
Why is that so hard to remember?
well, with 2 trolleys it is the same amount of suffering as with 1
I’d do top case since the number of people killed would converge to -1/12 meaning no suffering
That sum is wrong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuIIjLr6vUA
Where I’m from Calc 2 is integrals. That wasn’t so terrible. It was Calc 3 (vectors and series) that was the hard one.
At the universities I went to, Calc 2 was integration, sequences and series, then Calc 3 was multivariable. They really pack all the harder parts into 2.
I thought this was taught in high school. Curriculums differ drastically between countries, don’t they?
We were on quarters, so we had calc 1-4. Makes sense that Calc 2 was rough if you were on semesters.
I managed until university when I left calculus and entered “Linear Algebra” and man, I really don’t like matrices.
I made it through. My degree is actually in math. 15 years ago, I used to know what an abelian group is!
My multivariate calc was a separate course from regular calc 1/2/3
Ah, but eventually the trolley breaks down, and in the case of the reincarnating circle, you end up with zero deaths (but a whole lot of Therapy)
Isn’t Stockholm Syndrome fake?
No?
Actually upon looking it up, there is some suggestion that it is fake.
I think the ones in the loop become Cenobites.
The abominable billionaire loop makes me happy
Well their heads aren’t on the tracks and they’re immortal, I bet we could rig some kind of device to make them total praplegics and then work on a direct neural interface so they can use computers while they lay there endlessly having their bodies painlessly trisected.
Or we could just like untie them
nah
Hell couldn’t be real because humans would eventually fetishize any pain input and dump buckets forever.
Some webcomic I saw back in the earlier days of the Internet
Allegedly it isn’t a place where you are tortured, but instead a state of permanent depression from being cut off from God. Just the former is easier for pop culture to portray.
Cant you just take people from the track with reincarnating people? They might have to die a couple of times, but thats nothing compared to infinity
It can be, usually for college credit though
People really complaining about Calc 2?
Isn’t the top case just how things are now?
Also, Option 1 would essentially mean the end of the human race. Assuming the rate of killing is faster than the birth rate it would mean everyone dies soon
I mean, no? Its given in the question that option one is an infinite amount of people. Its not limited to just the existing human race.
