Libet Experiment Combined with the Trolley Problem
Question
A subject is sitting in front of a screen, and the moment of truth arrives: to divert the trolley or not.
Does this improve the relevance of the experiment?
What do you think?
Answer
Yes, somewhat. It is explained in detail in my book The Science of Freedom. Here on the site as well I noted that such an experiment has already been done (Liad Mudrik and Maoz).
