Why make it so difficult? Just keep it simple.
Which track leads to the next scheduled destination in the shortest most direct route? That is the track to take.

You got me. I would only argue that Borg brains are not wired for making choices.

Should Republicans try to help fix Obamacare, or should they not try to help fix Obamacare?
To: Talisker
The Brain here cannot and should not get into the attempts to predict who might do what in the future. The tyrant-to-be is no sure thing, the murderer of five could fail or have a change of heart, etc. Take the facts as they ARE at the moment, and go from there. The could-might-maybe-"oh you know he WILL" crap is what the Progressive "thinkers" use to justify their madness.
Go right. The actual decision is one dead vs one dead plus lost transplant organs.
The lesser loss is preferred, if there are no other alternatives.

The answer is simple. He should send the trolly on the track that leads to its next scheduled station. The switch master is thereby absolved of all responsibility.Ah, the old "just doing my job" excuse? Not sure that one works so well.

Thanks to all for your answers, apologies to those who were irritated. I found this on a “philosophical humor” site. It struck me because it’s an assembly of alternating contradictions literally by rote, that seemed like exactly the type of thing that would engage college sophmores in intense arguments. That’s why it made me laugh - because of the reaction it obviously would get among these types of students... or liberals generally. LOL
P.S. And for those who feel this is not funny because it has no link to actual reality... I give you... Obamacare... (created and defended by exactly those people who would argue intensely over this article).

It’s a shame there isn’t a way to go both directions and kill them all.
