These trolley problems are the stuff of nightmares wherein one becomes a world leader.

If all outcomes are horrible, then your lever pulls or inactions will always be subject to valid condemnation. If you take a risk, you are judged by the outcome, not whether your choice was a good calculation.

The stuff of nightmares, or an encouragement of bravery to do the right thing regardless of the ambiguousnes and uncertainty?

A bit of both, for me.
