Why don't the people just step off the track?

>>67151976
it's a trick question
the train is actually facing the other way and if you pull the lever, it causes the train to go off a dead end and kill everyone inside the train.

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT
THE TROLLEY PROBLEM ISN'T "DO YOU SWITCH TRACKS TO SAVE THE FIVE"
THE TROLLEY PROBLEM IS "WHY DO MOST PEOPLE SWITCH TRACKS BUT NOT PUSH THE FAT MAN"

Not really a dilemma. I would do nothing because whatever happens I'll be blamed for it if I even touch the lever.

Ideally though, someone else will pull the lever so that more people can die instead of fewer. 5 birds with one stone is best.

aren't you suppose to save the 5 people and run towards saving the one guy since it's easier saving one than 5?

Or stop the trolley like Superman always did.

Shit, you're off. Based solely on the situation there is, being having to options of moving with the contraption, the best situation is to locate the locomobile on the guy standing there alone. First of and mainly, you safe lives of few instead of sacrificing one in order to kill many. Second of, even if you'd safe the life of one guy, he'd probably couldn't live with what he saw and later kill himself. Survived victims can share their feelings amongst them and get over it faster.

Chill out, captain autism. If you come to /tv/ expecting people to understand the nuance of a philosophical thought experiment, it's kind of your own fault.

The 5 people are probably normies hanging out on the tracks in a group so fuck them

Pushing a person implies violence on your part. I guess that's the cutoff for most people.
I wouldn't do either.
