Does anyone have any unique views about the trolley problem?

The Trolley Problem is a thought experiment specifically designed to not have a solution. If it had a solution the solution would be stop the train, or even derailing the train may be an option if the crew of the train is one or if derailment survivable which it probably is depending on the location of the railway fork.

I got the right answer. Derailing a train stops it.

I loved the looping track solution. I think it addresses the hitler proposition. Where we're asked - but what if one of the many was hitler..what if one of the few was hitler? My man, if any of them could be hitler.......
The odds are slightly[u][/u] more for "one of the many".

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I'm confused.
Isn't the point to kill or maim as many people as possible and get away with it because it's a moral dilemma and the jury won't be able to reach a verdict?
