The Sisyphean Trolley Problem | The Trolley Problem | Know Your Meme

Sisyphus Trolley Problem The lever only changes the course of the track for 5 seconds, before switching back to the first path, where it will kill 5 people. You must keep pulling the lever in order to save these people (neither you nor the captives need to sleep or eat coz this is a greek myth or something). There is noone else nearby, and no way of leaving or reaching help. Do you keep pulling the lever in the hope that somehow these circumstances will change, or do you decide that this is an inherently futile act and that to keep all of you in this state of imprisoned limbo for all eternity was more cruel than death?

there is no trolley. they were all killed off by the automobile industrial complex. the tracks are now unruley and wild, the people once tied to them killed in crosswalks by giant trucks and SUVs. but sometimes you come pull the lever to reminisce on simpler times. 3 *
