Also interesting: What would you choose here if you were an evil psychopath? (Asking for an acquaintance.)

Switch the track from the bottom to the top as the train is half way over the switch, causing the train to drift across both rails hitting all three tied up people and the second switch operator.

MULTI TRACK DRIFTING??!!!

Electrifying the tracks.

Depends on if you're happy with someone else killing lot more people, or if you want to kill someone yourself.

Assuming this goes to infinity, the reasonable thing to do is to kill one person to prevent someone else killing a lot of people. But that would make you directly responsible for killing that person.

Isn't redirecting making you directly responsible for minimum of 2 deaths?

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago

You'd be indirectly responsible for those deaths.

[-] hemko@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No, that's someone else's choice to kill.

Not the person who you were talking to but I don't think i will feel responsible if conductor after me decides to kill bunch of people with a trolley. And i wouldn't be responsible if i saved people by not getting them gored by some trolley.
