    Do you understand that the trolley problem was more a device for deconstructing ones own morality and reaching the truth of it, than a maxim?

    Like, what if instead of saying how many people would die on each track, we listed total net worth, or number of children raped? The winning class looks totally different there, doesn’t it?
