      We should derail the trolley if it can only go forward at varying speeds.

        Maybe living on a planet where people are constantly tied to trolley tracks was a mistake.

          Well they weren’t always tied to the tracks, that’s a newish development.

              David Graeber’s “Debt: the First 5000 Years” and “Dawn of Everything” pretty much covers this in its entirety.

        so you’re choosing to hurt one person (conductor) to save many (people tied to the rails)

          Yes, the conductor (ruling class) is the one in charge of the trolley. They’re free to stop the trolley and hop off if they want to live.

      Don’t you know, it’s completely hopeless and your vote for damage reduction is just evil. So you should sit in the dark and just be miserable. /s

        Why do you think you’re changing their suggestion to sitting in the dark?

      What if we dont see the people on the tracks? Do they really die if we dont see them? If not then I vote red for a faster ride!
