    If you think about this for any length of time and actually imagine this scenario, you realise you don’t pull the lever and it’s not even close.

      Wrong. You pick the obviously wrong moral stance and then aggressively yell about it on the internet. The more obvious it becomes that you are wrong, the louder you yell. This protects your ego from introspection.

      that right, I’d masturbate on the tracks and on the people tied to the tracks so they are slipery and can slide or bounce to safety. And before you judge me, its the only thing I’m really good at and we should make the most of what we have in life.

      Failing that for whatever reason (or maybe in addition to that), I’d asses which of the prospects are lefties and make sure those people in particular live. Sorry centrists and republicans, but we need the votes and some people have to die, but I’m focussed on doing the least harm here.

      You realize this is your family watching you make the decision to have their vehicle run over a loved one? There’s a possibility they all live if you pull it.

        Or if you pull it, then they see you make the decision to risk their lives to kill three other people.

        What is better, three lives lost or one life lost?
