But you can do Jiu Jitsu
It’s never over. Many have waited to succeed him. Some of them, if they had the chance, will not hesitate give you far more difficult choices than their predecessor ever dared to give and it is then that you and many others will think fondly of him and curse the one that killed him.
Wait did you kill them with a plunger?
It’s the lever he had been forced to operate all those times.
Oh I see it now. I’m obviously not up on my trolley problem lore.
Oh, this is getting real!
But, what if that person was a time-traveller, and was actually tying future mass-murders, serial killers, and dictators to the tracks before they ever got a chance to start their crimes?
This is something to feed to the “ethics module” of a Tesla…
I think the trolley responsibility problem might be ‘solved’, but is it just?
The man who killed the man who tied the people to the trolley tracks is not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need.
Not according to the latest Indiana Jones movie.

The trolley problem is about innocent people. When one of those people is the reason the others are in danger because they are actively trying to kill them, the problem kind of goes away. Almost nobody says you should just let them continue murdering.
