The reason that I don't find discussions of the Trolley Problem very interesting is that we as a society have largely solved for it already: If you take responsibility and change the default state, it is your fault - if you leave it alone, it is nobody's.

- lazide 3y agoIf you don’t ‘touch it’ by getting involved, society has generally agreed it isn’t your trolley problem. Which is nice, at least.
