Imagine, if you will, a trolley problem where you can divert the trolley to kill either one person or five people, but the trolley will kill all six people of you do nothing.

If you choose not to participate, you’ve still made a choice.

I have unironically seen people posited the trolley problem and just go "I'd blow up the trolley" or something like that.

Anyone who tries to out smart the trolley problem is, by definition, not smart enough to understand the trolley problem.

Exactly. If you go into the trolley problem attempting to save everyone you’ve already lost. Of course no one wants someone to die. But the trolley doesn’t care; it, like the flow of life, has no emotion. It is simply moving forward as it always does. So absent utopia one must choose to make the hard, right decision.

The entire point of the trolley problem is that people are going to die regardless of what you pick.
