yes, if you change the problem, you change the way we respond. that's why there's so many trolley problems spin offs in the first place

But...it's not a math dilemma, it's a moral one. Changing it to hot philanthropic strippers changes the morality.

the morality doesn't exist in the first place because we don't live in a society that would allow someone to tie up six people on two tracks.

we do live in a world with real problems. Complex problems. Problems that lose solvable value when they are reduced to a philosophical joke.

so please tell me more about how we can solve the worlds problems by flipping switches on train tracks.
