What confuses me is whether this is supposed to be complex than I am realizing. Assuming I am understanding all the premises correctly, I would want the lever to be pulled. The train goes straight without pulling the lever, right?
If I were in the train, I would be observing 1 death vs 5. If I were in charge of the lever, I would be "responsible" for 1 death vs. 5. If I were on the tracks, I would have a 5x lesser risk of dying as would other random people. There must be something I'm missing.
Or is this one of those questions where I've unwittingly outed myself as a sociopath?
Correction: Not 5x less risk of death--but less risk.
Idgi, isn't this just a super simple probability problem?
