to be honest, most centrists I know would probably start defending the train's free speech, and right to run people over

I am really confused. I love this subreddit for pointing out the hypocritical and unreflective nature of so-called centrists.

This, however, is a philosophical problem, and the approach to actively kill one person instead of letting 5 people die is simply a utilitarian approach. Deciding otherwise does not make you a centrist or a sociopath. It simply reflects a different process based on different values.

And, let‘s be honest: Is it really THAT easy to actively kill one person by flipping a switch instead of not intervening at all? I really don‘t understand why people antagonize users who point out the obvious aspects of the trolley problem.
