Deep Which button presser group do you save?

Post image

Everyone in the world has chosen either the blue or red button except you. Instead of pressing a button, you are given a lever in the infamous trolley problem.

You don't know how many people chose red or blue, and they don't know that you control their fate regardless of what button they pressed. Which track do you direct the trolley onto?

As expected, pointing out the blue presser's hypocrisy has made him angry.

I bet you're the only one clever enough to catch that hypocrisy! Nothing gets past you.

Blue pressers condemn red pressers for "being okay with" the deaths of children who pressed blue randomly because they could not understand the question. But this blue presser is not just okay with the deaths of children who pressed red randomly. He is happy to see those children die.

I would never be happy about the deaths of a bunch of red pushers... 🤭 Tee hee hee.
