The "Trolley Problem" is like the Kobayahi Maru: It isn't actually a legitimate moral paradox, it is a contrivance designed to teach us learned helplessness.

In real life, whenever I see what is presented as a trolley problem, I see someone carefully arranging the propaganda so that there appear to be only two options, both bad for me and good for them.

If I have to pull a lever, it will be on a guillotine for whomever set up the trolley.
