Do nothing that way you don't get to jail for murder. All the pressure goes to the other guy. Sue the railway company, guy who pulled the lever and the creator. Another is find a way not to reach to that point.

I feel like you're not internalizing that this is a thought experiment.

Also, it's too late to pull the lever, you'll just provoke a crush.
They've already both chosen not to pull the lever at this point. Guess they didn't want to make a wider picture.
Theoretically, will a collision cause a breach of the radioactive material that's in the box with my cat? Asking for a friend.
If cat can witness the event, then Yes or No but not both.

wow what an excellent day in the neighbourhood
i sure hope I won't be faced with an ethical dilemma in the very near future
This was super funny, this person has a great career ahead of her. Very Tim and Eric style obscure indie comedy, I loved it.
Unlike the classic prisoners dilemma, this isn't a nash equilibrium. When I know that the other person pulls their switch, I'd improve my outcome by not pulling mine. Compare to the prisoners dilemma, where not snitching when the other side snitches earns you five years in prison.

If these are tracks in the US then I just understaff the engineers and maintenance teams and the train derails before I have to make a decision, checkmate.
If these tracks are in the US, so I am. So I shoot the other guy with the gun(s) I usually carry around when I go out and then pull the lever.
The outcome from both levers pulled is so steep that it really makes no sense to pull the lever

This feels too high quality for a shit post.
Gotta make sure your fiber intake is decent so you get good quality shit like this
you find some third way thats not the bad outcomes that are suggested. Theres always possibilities in life and people who say there are not are generally trying to coerce you.
pull my gun, kill the other person and move the lever, as far i can know that person is the one this whole thing upfamily up
Yell to the guy on the other side that I'm going to pull the lever, so he'd better not.
Then let it go because that both maximizes global utility and poses the lowest risk of the worst case scenario.
"WHAT? I CANT HEAR YOU THE TRAIN IS TOO LOUD!" pulls lever
OOOHHHHH
WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA
You pull the lever, then pew pew pew the other person near the lever.
Boom.
Did I solve it?
Where's my prize?
Wait a minute, gotta shoot everyone else related too. Don't want to face any revenge.
Automatic Weaponry goes brrrr
No witnesses
Okay I saved 1 of my loved ones.
Bingo?
Now theres only one color of people.
Wait am I a racist?
To quote something I made up and say all the time, “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.”
