"sometimes inaction is an action"
WRONG. YOU ARE MENTALLY ILL FOR BELIEVING THAT!
"I didn't choose to do nothing, it just happened"
Yep, that is indeed how 'doing nothing' works
Right, what he should have said was "I tried to do something and failed."
It happens only on internet 😂😂😂
Just wanted to share this. JESUS CHRIST died for you on a cross for our sins. 3 days after his death he resurrected and always was, still is, and forevermore the one and only TRUE LIVING GOD. In a prayer repent from your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and also ask for the HOLY SPIRIT to come into you in that same prayer as well. Have FAITH in CHRIST. You could come to Jesus Christ as you are, but once you accept Him, you are new, and are born again. Turn away from all wicked ways. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. God Bless You. Praise only be to God. JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK SOON.
The trolley getting legs is a nice reference to the Fallout 3's metro train, which was basically a very very fast running NPC with the train as a helmet.
It was a workaround so they didn't actually had to develop a working train.
wasnt that the same thing with half life metros?
I uhh, think it was just a trolly with legs as an "oh so random" moment. But thank you for reminding me of the jank to get "working" trollys in Fallout 3.
I thought of cars in Gurren Lagann.

Trolley problem is easy: You let the 5 five people die as then there is a higher chance of an architect to get killed.
that philosophical problem was solved, multi-track drifting is the only valid answer
But what if there is an engineer? This is also a bigger chance.
Or let aliens invade and suck in the trolley before it hits anyone.
Flick it while it’s on the switch place and derail it
nonsense.. architects do not have any friends. They would be alone on the right :)
the fact you knew the italian attack was a jojo reference but not josuke's hair at 12:35 haunts me
Is that reference from Jojo also a reference to The Italian Job?
to be fair nobody not even his father cares about josuke
@@t152thats foul
@@APS_Inc yep 120%
@@t152 Not actually a true statement. Many pitiful weebs care greatly about the characters in that homo-erotica manga.
For the clock punching the line should totally have been "Expect the unexpected, or you might just get clocked.".
"Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems, not problems like "What is beauty?" Because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems..." -Meet the Engineer TF2
(and all the answers are gun)
Problems like “What is beauty?” are the preview of architecture.
Deciding what problems are "practical" and which are not is practicing philosophy
4:28 Scotland will remember this
Sassenach's.
Matt is going to question his life choices 😂
Thats why they want independence 😂
@@Franklin-xp7gpfreedom mentioned? 🦅🇺🇸
As an Australian, you gotta go for the 4 roos. You devil. You killed the koala
True, Roos are overpopulated while koalas are endangered.
Love Sisyphus’ hats! Hatsune miku, josuke, gon freecs, parasyte. Sad RCE doesn’t recognize most of these.
yet he understood the italian zipper 😭
_hat_ sune miku
I can't believe Matt ran over the pizza with the strongest shape on it...what an architect! Also, while watching him push the rock up the hill....I liked the other references but I really liked the Parasyte Migi one.
I think he made up for the pizza with the banana though... I mean.. did you see the girth of that thing??
As a Parasite fan I cant believe I didnt notice that at first. 😂
@@chimeforest would you be happy showing off your girth if your mushroom got cut in half after a train ran over it lol?
@@darkfire420YT I think the mushrooms were already cut before they got run over.. >.
4:56 "So we've got 2.. *Wishes* "
Yessir. Wishes doing magic.
22:07 _Chuckles softly because I have seen this cypher before_
is this loss ?
Ah, a fellow man of culture as well!
They already made a game about philosophy, "Trolley Problem Inc", and it's very good. A sarcastic narrator points out the error in your choices. Whatever you pick! It covers the problems, and the point behind them, as well as their failings, well. It's very well footnoted, only a shame you can't click on the footnotes and read the original source, but they're mostly copyrighted books so fair enough. It's a couple of years old, very well made, and very funny. There's a dark, overarching plot to it. I'd definitely recommend playing it. About 8 quid to buy.
The narrator is Jan Ravens btw, they paid for a proper actress, she does a lot of satirical type stuff on TV shows.
9:25 IT'S A JOJO REFERENCE!
ikrrrrr
13:34 that "hat" from parasyte a anime and live action movie. (never watched the anime tho)
I thought it was Parasyte The Grey, a tv show on Netflix and some other platforms
miiigiiii :D
i though its from anime Hunter x Hunter
edit : mb its before that parasyte hat
14:16 Prisoner's dilemma works like this:
1: If you both cooperate both of you get say 2 years of prison(Not 0, we'll see why later)
2: If you both defect both of you get say 5 years
3: If one of you cooperates and the other defects, the cooperator gets say 10 years and the defector is set free
This is a dilemma because if you cooperate your opponent would like to defect, but then you would also like to defect, even though it would be better to both cooperate.
In the game's case, this is sort of a dilemma because your opponent sees no reason to defect if you cooperate, but if he does defect you would like to defect, even though it would be better if both cooperated.
14:17 That's not the Prisoners' Dilemma. The payoffs are wrong. When either player talks, the total time imprisoned (sum of both people) has to increase while that player's time has to decrease. So the "both silent" side should have a short sentence for both, say 1 year, while the "both talk" side should total more than 10 years, say 6/6.
1:03 casually murdering 5 innocent people for a dog
Hey Matt! I’m in Ireland and there are so many ads for PaddyPower here and I can’t stop thinking about paddy now
Same
Can't imagine getting corroded by ads
congratulations! youve made dinosaurs M O R E E X T I N C T
"I am english" Then kills the national animal of Scotland.
3:00 they might be mushrooms, but you've gotta admit, they have a very strong shape
You spared the Welsh dragon but not the Scottish unicorn XDDDDDDDDDD
I think he lives in Wales too lol
"Would you do nothing and kill five people, or do something and kill one person?"
Why not both?! *Deja vu drifting intensifies*
Build a roundabout. The trolley could go in circles until it would come to a safe stop. :)
Ah yes.
Trolley careening down the track?
Dismantle part of the track, construct an entirely new section of track and plonk it down all before the trolley gets to you.
I feel like if you can do that you can disconnect the parts of the track the people are on and bring them to safety.
1:55 To quote Rush: "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."
LOL, I can't get over the fact that the tracks on the trolley problem are wrong.. like that's not how track switches work, both the diverging rails for the siding come off of the bottom rail instead of each rail diverging. So whether you switch it or not that shit is going to derail and no one will be harmed in either case. :P
This channel has made me want to buy more random games than anything has before
I don't lie or exaggerate my words. But your channel is always there for me, when I saw someone playing this game I searched on CZcams there was nothing I liked and now you upload this.That's so amazing. When my father was sick I waited for him to fall asleep I always watched all your videos. You are always calm in what you say, making me fall asleep sometimes. Thank you for the video
They changed the kilowatts per hour into just kilowatts in planet crafter.
The fact there was a One piece, HxH, AND a Parasyte reference in the different hair styles during boulder level, is crazy to me
@4:41. That's why the book calls us ''Mostly Harmless''.
@@rustythecrown9317 nobody really cares
So I love the fact that the points/switches have the right rail turning off twice, as if the trolley somehow switches all of it wheels over to the left rail. :)
Just an observation from a railway tech
I knew something was off about it but kept getting distracted by the arrow 😆
Please bring the second part video, i loved this game!!!
I have a really hard trolly problem. On one track, there is every architect in the world, except one, but there is also Paddy. But, you could switch the track to only kill one architect. Which one yo you choose.
"the trolly has legs now?"
If i didn't know any better id say this is an add for what the car.
Casually switches 2 times like " I didn't do anything " xD
9:32 Sticky fingers
Zipper Man /j
If Matt gets any less efficient he will become an architect!
1:38 that doesn't look like a ufo to me anymore as i read the "suck in" title
robotic nipple
13:29 is a Hunter X Hunter reference to the main character Gon when he uses his Nin to fight Neferpitu. It’s an incredible anime and I high recommend it
Holy shit, the last place I expected a jojo reference from
2:57 never step foot in a pizzeria again, mushroom hate will not be tolerated
The first propblem is kind of interesting for me.
The way i see it is that, if you dont choose to pull the lever, you made the active decision not to and murdered the 5 poeple. even if you were not involved.
i see it as an active decision not to help. pulling the lever to make the trolley hit the 1 person is an active decision too, with the only diffrence being that you pulled a switch, while by the other you didnt.
Just like Negan said in TWD. "Not making a decision, is a biiiiiig decision."
11:05 bro became a puffer fish
A miku, a josuke and a gon wig omg !!!
I'll tell you what Sisyphus was listening to on his headset.
Classic Rock.
HAHAHAHA They did the multi track drifting meme XD
The super long hair standing up reminds me of gon from hunter x hunter when he went mad.
Oh it does haha!!
As a thinker myself I would love to argue about the first "challenge". I mean you ARE involved in both scenarios, because you have two choices. All 6 people are bounded to the railway by some observer and therefore they are equally "qualified" to survive. And by not doing anything at all you chose to do so, ergo you actually did do something.😂🤯
12:50 this is really unexpected and also very fun
I love the parassite reference at 13:25
8:37 that is a pear phone (aka apple iphone ripoff)
the kangoroos could've jumped out of the way
0:25 well the train goes straight ofc. Im a sadist
Matt keep in mind that one the first one, hitting all 5 there's a greater chance that one of them is an architect, worth??
Damn. That clock got hands.
22:02 RCE being a British not knowing Sherlock Holmes 🤔🤔 he is an architecture
Everyone: cuckoo clock
Engineers: bird clock🙃
It's nice to see My Philosophy degree could have a practical application.
"Probably a Jojo reference" - Matt, seeing a joke he doesn't understand.
Killing the Scottish unicorn instead of the Welsh dragon, just in case anyone forgot Matt's English.
9:25 it's Jojo reference! It's Bucciarati's ability, to zip or unzip objects, floors, walls etc.
Sisyphus clearly listens to rock music.
1:14 The logical thing to do is to flip the switch and then attempt to move the guy tied to the tracks. Even if it is impossible for you to make it to save the person, your odds were _always_ better having to save one person instead of five.
One thing that always bothered me about this scenario though, is that it is improbable, and ignores all of the real world consequences for such a scenario. If someone is tied to a track and there is a train coming, flipping the switch could derail the train, sending it hurling at everyone, and doing far more damage than the untimely deaths of five people. Moreover, you also have to consider that maybe warning the operator of the vehicle ahead of time is the most reasonable option, another option that is never presented. Idk. I feel like the entire conflict of this scenario is in the distinct lack of details, and the extremely linear options you're given as a means of solving the problem.
If it were this exact scenario, with a small trolley, and I didn't have time to warn the operator, as implied, I'd flip the switch and attempt to move the guy as I stated, however, without knowing the full picture, the best option cannot really be known.
Hawaiian pizza is Canadian.
the national animal of Scotland is the unicorn, did you know that when you chose to kill it on the basis of being English?
I like the subtle parasyte hat
Monkeys did eventually write the entire body of Shakespeare's work, his name was Shakespeare
Never seen this game before, glad that you played it!
that 114514 at 21:41 is uhhhh
Would be awesome to see a second part of this !
Don’t quit man i love this series
1:17 it could be five architects on the other side though
1:19 how to solve as an engineer ? Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch an architect by its toe, if it bites let it go, eeny, meeny, miny, moe
No time for that!!
11:46 that is literally how it works with them they push the boulder up a hill for eternity but it will always fall back down
Unpopular opinion: You pull the lever to kill the witch that is about to turn a frog into a boy.
Explanation: Witches are evil and she is probably about to turn the frog into a mindless loyal servant which is a miserable existence. The bottom one might turn a child into a frog, but the child (now frog) might find true love and eventually be turned back into a person.
Correction: Those are obviously fairies, not witches (cute, no broom, no big nose), so they are good by definition. So there are actually two cases and in both you do NOT pull the lever:
A) Frog deserved to be turned back into a child so we let him live his life and the bottom child deserves to be turned into a frog and we will just increase the punishment from being a frog to being dead (or you could also say we relieve the child from the misery of being a frog).
B) No child deserves being turned into a frog and the bottom fairy is corrupt. In that case you kill the corrupt fairy potentially saving a lot more kids from being turned into a frog at the cost of one child that was about to be turned into a frog anyway.
Gotta say I've never heard the phrase "grass him up"
the really tall hair was a hunter x hunter reference and the one after it was from Parasyte - The Maxim.
I’m surprised he didn’t know this existed till now
As an engineer, I have to assume becoming an architect was what got them into the situation in the first place so I chose, take no action 😂
the only correct answer to the trolley problem: multi-track drifting
09:27
Only the OG will know the ref !
ZIPPER MAN !
Glad to see Matt recognised the reference
7:48 Just Donkey's children from shrek
13:28 Gon reference from hunter x hunter when he gets very angry and fight Pitou, and then parasyte reference with multiple tentacles coming out of head with blades at the ends.
btw a time machine is also a teleport machine since it probably teleports u somewhere since the planet itself moves
13:19 He was listening to Rolling Stones.
Destroy the teleportation machine, take the time machine and use to to get the teleportation machine back
Jojo Reference? Matt! You watch Jojo? What a Chad
The "If you have infinite monkeys" scenario is just the same thing as computer power...
You could have infinite computer power, in the end the AI will produce something of use, it will just throw a bunch of shit too.
Remember : if you never pull the lever you can't get charged for the murders
13:35 is a reference to an epic manga from many years ago called Parasyte
think sisyphus listened to the roiling stones on his headphones.........
Game reminds of of Frog Fractions, which you should definitlly play if you havent yet.
9:30 "The Italian Job"
5:17 :Not again matt im starting to believe you're an architect
by not changing the direction, the chance to hit an architect is higher...
Couldn’t you argue that a wig is kind of a hat?
Video 1 of saying hi to matt
