People seem to love philosophical trolley problems, but they expose more about ontological grammar than a morality profile.
The first of a 2-part series on the trolley problem. Part 2 will extend the issue out of the lab and into reality with autonomous devices.

Вы можете остановить трамвай в любой момент, но те, кого уже раздавило, погибли напрасно.
И это можно трактовать по разному.
Good Trolley Problem
You're standing on the tracks and a trolley is approaching.
You have time to get out of the way and do so.
Do you shoot the driver for no reason? (doing so wouldn't stop the trolley anyway)
(Sorry, I don’t know who to credit for creating this)
I think we can accomplish so much more if we swap #moral and #physics conundrums. Find an engineer and present them with the trolley problem. Find a philosopher and ask them if a plane can take off from a conveyor belt.

So, a private jet burns about 904 litres of fuel per hour, which means approximately 2 metric tonnes of carbon emissions each hour.
Santa's sleigh travels for 24 hours straight, to deliver presents all over the globe. This means 48 metric tonnes AT LEAST, because it's a pretty safe assumption that the sleigh needs more power (and therefore more fuel) than a private jet.
So, this brings us to the Trolley Problem—do we kill Santa to save the world?
...and dont come up in here with bullshit about Christmas Magic.
This is science, motherfuckers!
