yes that is indeed the moral dilemma of the trolley problem

i’ve seen people claim that the decision is easy - but the comfort of this being a simple thought experiment softens the fact you are pulling the lever that’s going to kill that one person. If you don’t, sure 5 people die - but you can absolve yourself of guilt easier than if you pulled the lever and, in a way, caused that one death

I happily live with myself. The death is on the hands of whomever tied those people to the tracks.

Yes, I pulled the lever and by so chose who lived and who died, but if I was that person alone on the tracks I wouldn’t blame the one pulling the lever, I believe it was the lesser of two evil. I would still be fucking pissed, but at the one who tied me there, not the person forced to choose.

this is very well done
