Can't believe how many people would prefer condemning passengers to an eternal trolley ride than explode them. True evil right there

That's just a description of normal life though. We must imagine trolleyphus happy.
Unless "eternal" means immortality, in which case it's even better than life!
Eh, I decided not to blow them up because the notion of perfect knowledge is foolish. Those folks have an eternity to figure out how to stop the trolley or jump out. They'll manage.
Also: I'm not going to presume that I have the right to take such an important choice away from them. If they tell me to pull the lever I will, but not before.
