I sometimes try to imagine simple relevant situations such as being presented with two buttons:
Blue button: kill the man
Red button: save the man
I often find myself being able to choose very quickly, without being required to feel any excessive emotion about the matter. This way I know if I care for things, even though I might just feel like “So what?”
I had a whole grid of these at one point. They got pretty interesting after a while, but I never typed it all up and condensed it into anything useful.
A fun one: Is someone morally responsible for accidently pushing a button that will kill a crowd of people but then choosing not to stop it before it happens?
