Do you understand that the trolley problem was more a device for deconstructing ones own morality and reaching the truth of it, than a maxim?
Like, what if instead of saying how many people would die on each track, we listed total net worth, or number of children raped? The winning class looks totally different there, doesn’t it?

Why not kill rich people to solve poverty?
Uh, because they’re actual people? Besides, their wealth would just be inherited.
There’s a lot fewer rich people to kill than there are poor people. Doing the trolley problem on this means the rich people lose.

Please don’t assume he/him just because you’re on nu-reddit.
Please don’t assume I don’t call all genders sir.
Please don’t assume I accept honorifics, gendered or otherwise.
Why not kill and BBQ the rich people to feed to poor people?
Disease. The only reason I can think of at this point.
Meh the flames will take care of that.
You need like 1000 c to fully denature some prions.
Hmm. You’re right. Fuck it just BBQ them anyway then throw them in a pit.
…Well, what style of BBQ are we talkin’ here??
I’m not impoverished but I might colonize a rib or two…
Theres enough multi-billionaires to have them barbequed whatever damned way you please.
We should have a version of that pedo tracker website to locate the financially obese. So you know where you’re nearest richo is when you get peckish.
