I am thinking about writing a book about this picture. Do you have any advice?
Make it from the perspective of the switch itself. Write things like "I hope that sociopath doesn't pull me anywhere!" or "I hate having all this power, GAHHH!!"
Don't
Books are for nerds

A hypothetical is an "impossible" situation such that morality is simplified to the quatity of people.
You can write how the masses is not individualized humans and play on the stalin death-statistics quote.

I want to focus on the man who is standing and not tied to a rope. Does he pull the switch or does he not pull the switch? I think there is a lot of discussion to be had about his thought process and I want to explore that.

Imagine if he isn't there.
What makes him to have the need to go up there and think that what he does is any different than what he doesn't.

Why bother. If you are gonna do it, you are gonna do it.

Exactly. He might find innocence in not acting at all.
Or he may consider the values of the individuals.
Or the value of the planet.
If you pull the lever, you must take your ideology I the extreme and dedicate your entire life to the preservation of life
The plot revolves around a philosophy graduate student destined to fuck and murder his way up the rung of academia with his massive barbed dick. This picture is the climactic scene.
>the notorious railway killer strikes again
>passerby are advised to stand well clear, as the switch generally does nothing but nothing but activate a bomb
>if you see suspicious looking individuals laying down cable car track, call 911 immediately

you're too late, i've already included it as a scene in my novella.
Does it make a difference?
Why or why not?

Yes
It changes a lot of things
No
It is the same

Yes. If we're going to measure things by their Utilitarian impact on the physical, finite universe, we can only measure the relative worth of each choice by their impacts as finite procedures.

Thanks I'm pretty funny and make most of /lit/s good OC. I consider becoming a tripfag now and then- I could easily be remembered as the equal of someone like Quentin.
