The article humorously presents the trolley problem through the perspective of a trolley driver who loses control and faces the dilemma of deciding who to kill: one person or five people tied to the tracks. The narrator grapples with various fears, including moral implications, personal consequences, and the outcome of their choices. With touches of absurdity, the comic scenario highlights the complexity of ethical decision-making and the pressures that accompany it, reflecting societal anxieties and a personal crisis in a light-hearted manner.
According to my mom, the probability of me becoming a lawyer is fifty-fifty. All of these things scare me a lot.
I wave my arms and shout to him about my brakes. I ask him who he thinks I should kill. He shrugs and says, "I dunno, just let me know if you want me to pull this lever."
If I don't stop this trolley, will I go to prison? I imagine that the cartoon villain who tied these people up has long since fled the scene.
I have never lied or cursed, except for the occasional 'motherfucker'.
