Real trolley problem.
Track 1: 100 people spaced far enough apart to not crash trolley
Track 2: 1000 people piled closely, trolley plows through and derails after killing all.
Trolley is labeled “health system” on port, “Wall St” on starboard
THERE’S ONLY ONE TROLLEY!

"Hmmm. Harm the economy by pausing it, or by killing people who participate in it? Tough choice."

A) Pause the trolley for a bit and untie some people from the tracks.
B) Keep the trolley moving while tying more people to the tracks at an exponentially increasing rate. twitter.com/JuhanaIF/statu…
