We should really just take a break from trolleys until we get the tech fully sorted out.

Found the big car CEO! I know your tricks!
- You can never win with trolley people.
- The technology just isn't there yet
That or finally catch the guy who's been tying people up on the tracks all this time.

Is the implication that the guy pulled the lever to steer the train onto the track with lots of people on it?

in the original thought experiment not pulling the lever results in the death of the 5 people on tracks, that's the choice of an attempt to avoid responsibility as you technically had no involvement in their deaths. Pulling the lever means you take direct responsibility for the death of one person, saving 5
- Woah. Never once in my life have I heard that reasoning for not pulling the lever. I have always thought that since I was actively choosing not to pull it, that it was still a direct effect of my choice. I fully believe that people think the way you just described and now I have to reevaluate humanity.
Probably the guy on the right doesn’t see the people on the left track about to die. And the guy on the left doesn’t see the person on the right whose life was saved.
The moral is something something perspective something.
- Its usually pulling the lever to kill only the one person so the lever guy didnt pull it, the left guy saw the people on the left track because of how its curved, the right guy saw nothing but as it entered the curve he now sees they avoided a person and is happy
Yes
10 to 15 children, and a kitten. But the guy on the other track was Elon Musk, saving the world with EVs and rockets and stuff. How would you have chosen?
- There is only ever one answer to any trolley problem
- Elon musk, saving the world? With EVs? And stuff? Ah okay. A little too easy to choose then?

Now THIS is a great tier 3 meme.

Good meme

Nice, takes a bit of context to get it

creative

Take that, Immanuel, you fucking logorrheic simpleton. You're done. Your books can still be used to sort out a wobbly table I suppose.

Presumably, they saw where the track lead before the turn and know the trolley was hitting at least one person. The passenger on the right only sees the one person saved.
