I usually ask those who are okay with pushing the guy if they'd jump under the trolley themselves to stop it. If they pivot from arithmetics to the sanctity of individual life in that case, then, yeah, nice logic there :)

Honestly, I probably won't jump myself, but at least I recognize that makes me a moral coward & I should jump.

Pushing the guy on the tracks trips me up because I get that its a thought exercise so the rules of reality are w/e makes the ethical question more interesting, but like hitting one person first wouldn't actually stop a trolley.

Ya it gets super weird just because people try and use the value of that one individuals life over the opposite collective group while unironically devaluing that same collective group

The more interesting counterpoints I learned in college. (I think?) 1. "You can't use human life as a means to an end because human life IS the end." 2. "You can't justify a bad action with good consequences because predicting every consequence is impossible." (Dentology?)

These are both very good points I'm just gonna be the person to say the word you're looking for is deontology

So it sounds like you have more of an issue with people than you do with the trolley problem, imho.
