Moral Compass - Ethics & Logic

Think sharper in 2 minutes a day.

You make hundreds of decisions every day, and thinking traps you rarely notice nudge many of them. Moral Compass turns ideas from ethics, philosophy and cognitive science into short challenges for your coffee break. You answer one question at a time, then read a short explanation of why you answered the way you did.

★ INTERACTIVE DILEMMAS
In these series you act inside a scene: you pull the lever, replace the planks, split the money, buy the shares.
• The Trolley Problem, 6 scenes: the switch, the driver, the trapdoor, the footbridge, your child, you on the track. The trolley really moves and you have seconds to decide. Do nothing and it keeps going. At the end, a consistency map shows where your intuition turns.
• The Ship of Theseus, 5 scenes about identity: plank by plank, a second ship from the old planks, a teleporter to Mars, a silicon brain. At the end you get an identity map and your dominant view.
• Veil of Ignorance (NEW), 5 scenes about fairness. You split a city's income between a poor, a middle and a rich district, and only then does chance decide where you live. At the end you see your fairness profile.
• Market Instinct (NEW), 3 scenes. You start with 1000 coins and trade shares of a fictional company for 20 weeks while the news and a forum hand out tips. At the end you compare your result with 1000 dart-throwing monkeys and with buy-and-hold.
After every scene you see how many people did the same. Most scenes also have a fun fact and a real-world example: self-driving cars, medicine, law, heritage conservation.
