Train tracks. Split decisions. And a philosophy humdinger worth debating. Dr. Joshua Greene is a Harvard Psychology professor, neuroscientist, and *actual* Trolleyologist. The moral humdinger that has been used in everything from Supreme Court decisions to board games looks at: What makes you a good person? How do you reason with people who make you scream into a jar like Yosemite Sam? How far would you go to save others? Which charities should get your money? What is active versus passive harm? And what would a monk do? Also: how neurodivergence influences moral decisions, religion used as a moral compass, and your new favorite skeleton on the planet. Visit Dr. Greene’s <a href="https://www.joshua-greene.net/" target="_blank">website</a>, his charity platform <a href="https://givingmultiplier.org/invite/OLOGIES" target="_blank">Giving Multiplier</a>, and his online quiz game <a href="https://letstango.org/" target="_blank">Tango</a>Buy his book, <a href="https://www.joshua-greene.net/moral-tribes" target="_blank">Moral Tribes: Emotion, Reason, and the Gap Between Us and Them</a>, on <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/moral-tribes-emotion-reason-and-the-gap-between-us-and-them-joshua-greene/15284628" target="_blank">Bookshop.org</a> or <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Moral-Tribes-Emotion-Reason-Between/dp/0143126059/" target="_blank">Amazon</a>A donation went to <a href="https://givingmultiplier.org/invite/OLOGIES" target="_blank">Giving Multiplier</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/trolleyology">More episode sources and links</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/eudemonology">Eudemonology (HAPPINESS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/genocidology">Genocidology (CRIMES OF ATROCITY)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ocdneurobiology">Obsessive-Compulsive Neurobiology (OCD)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ocdbonus">Bonus Episode: The OCD Experience</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/artificialintelligenceethicology">Artificial Intelligence Ethicology (WILL A.I.
