What is the official centrist solution to the trolley problem?

Automation.

Put the lever in the middle and go between the train tracks.

There are more than two solutions to most problems, anon

>>138044397
Board the trolley and manually stop it or derail it completely.

Hit the brakes.

Jump in front of the train so you don't have to take a side.

stop trying to force the trolley to go down the path you want it to go down, it should be able to make its own choice

Don't do anything at all and hope that the problem will eventually disappear on its own.

the centrist stands on the sidelines and criticises the person no matter what they do, and claims they would have found a better solution which they will either not share or which would involve precognition or a time machine

This is the only correct answer since this is how humans work as confirmed by experiments. In some real life version of this problem you would respond to the situation fast and automatically based on your intuition that's been trained over your life. You wouldn't spend the time philosophizing about what the ideal choice would be while the trolley kills everyone.

The official centrist position is that black lives matter but less than white lives.
>>
>>138044913
This.
Instead of letting this guy or that guy die, just kill yourself with the trolley. Probably the most centrist solution to the problem.

I'm not a centrist. I'm a bit of a Nazi.
A mild Nazi says.....
Direct the train towards the one person. Then run over and move him out of the way.
The man at the switch is very close to him.
Easy.

There need not be perfect solution, and each should act as they see fit. Panic situation calls for actions and those actions if done with good intent should not be punished.

Do nothing

Derail the trolley.
>>
>>138044397
Let me do it.
Assuming those are all random people, that I do not know and I have no knowledge about them at all.
The only solution is to sacrifice one to save many.
There is no dilemma with this one really.

>>138045831
no the centerist puts breaks on the trolly as a solution.
>>
>>138045498
>You cannot kill yourself
That implies I do not have the option to voluntarily induce my own death. This means I cannot die in general. Lacking the ability to die in even the slightest aspect means that I am somewhat immortal.

Fuck this I am gonna go do immortal shit like jack off on the freeway
