purplecat: Satirical take on the famous stick person illustration of the Trolley problem.  Lots of trolleys, lots of tracks, lots of people tied to them,  lots of switches. (General:Ethics)

The talk went well though, as I had somewhat expected, at least two other people in the audience had worked on formalising traffic rules and done so rather more thoroughly than we had. Still, now I have papers to read.

In the afternoon we had breakout sessions, so I got to spend a couple of hours arguing about what normative competence(s) might be, pausing only briefly to eat cake because, it transpires, you can eat cake and argue about normative competence at the same time (even though, as some of us pointed out, while eating cake one has permission to discuss topics other than those of the seminar). Tomorrow I might switch to the group that is arguing about what an explanation is.
