    Is this really philosophy? I thought the philosophy question behind the trolley problem was whether the switch thrower was responsible for their action/inaction, not a zero-sum question of which choice is more moral. Am i wrong? Do i gotta go read it again?

    Anyway (so i guess I’m arguing with uncertainkitten here lol) even if I am wrong this question isn’t. It’s just some “what would you do” stuff reminiscent of heath ledger’s joker with the ships.

    Eh, some mind me I’m probably just still angry at all the libs trolley bullshit
