The trolley problem is awesome for illustrating how inconsistent we are when it comes to ethics, and that's an important thing to be aware of. Plus, who doesn't love to come up with idiot twists on the problem?

Let's say an evil feminist mad scientist has built a giant Dr. Nim ( http://www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=153473 ) where her marbles crush random men and your marbles crush random women. How do you defend your choices on Tumblr afterwards?

Like so many other things, the Trolly Problem has been ruined by overuse by idiotic "fans" that barely grasp the substance of what they're ruining in an effort to look more intelligent (or rather, to attempt a 'gotcha' of the person they're posing it at) by piggybacking upon it.

You've got a point there. I am the same way about Schrödinger's Cat, and how people treat it like "whoa, everything's alive and dead until you look at it. ::bonghit::"

Whichever group John Gribbin is a part of gets the trolley. He wrote "In Search of Schrödinger's Cat" which is THE book for "quantum mechanics is magic" that indoctrinated an entire generation in unsalvagable quantum stupid.

Isn't Mr. Wildecat a physicist? Anyone know of any good armchair quantum physics books for the layman?

QED by Richard Feynman.
Six Easy Pieces and Six Not So Easy Pieces also by Richard Feynman.
From Eternity to Here by Sean Carroll.

Be aware, there is a book of pure weaponized drool-woo also called "From Eternity to Here" but it is written by droolslurper general Frank Viola, avoid at all cost, because it will cost you your species.
