I’m not sure this argument holds at all. I think this is biased because we already know some people in the group have the ability to turn consideration into violence… generally speaking if somebody endorses torture in torture vs dust specks, or pulling the lever in the trolley problem, I would still not worry at all about them torturing me or arranging for me to be killed so that my organs can save two other people. Most moral consideration on big-picture problems occurs in a different universe from everyday behavior, or many rationalists—maybe the median rationalist! - would be considered deeply unsafe people rather than the highly safe people they are in reality.
