  For some people, this is a problem. For others, this is a solution.

  According to transit and transport regulation, such scenario would be impossible

  I think the premise falls apart on the assumption that I consider pulling the lever as best case.

    Yeah, it would be more interesting if the middle track were empty.

  Throw the trolley off the side of the ferry.

  I would tie a really really long string to the lever and attach the string to a large bird and then scare it into flying away. Then I would go to Albertsons and buy some delicious Heinz Baked Beans

  Yell to the other lever dude that I’m not pulling the lever but fuck those beige dudes, hope they can’t tell i’m lying, run and lay down with the beige dudes, and if I’m lucky they pull their lever too and we get maximum carnage. If lever dude suspects I’m lying and insane, and thus doesn’t pull their lever, at least I won’t have to answer my loved ones’ questions.

  What do I do? I introduced myself to the other person, then we go out for drinks, then we fuck all night.

  I no longer give a shit about the assholes on the tracks.

  Philosphers really just go “imagine how fucked up it would be if…” and then take it incredibly seriously
