If you do nothing, fat man dies and blue doesn't have the choice. I wouldn't want to steal the choice from blue.

There's no reason to pull the lever from an utilitarian or kantian perspective.

I let the fat man die. If I do that there's a guarantee of only one casualty, which is the minimum number of casualties irrespective of my choice, and all other choices involve the possibility of further casualties. I don't know blue's character, and he could be a retard that lets multiple people die instead of one because it's "categorically imperative" that he do so

A flash of light erupts just in front of you. An unfamiliar man steps out of a cloud of smoke and informs you that he is your grandfather and has traveled through time to kill you. He is holding a revolver, his eyes betray no hint of doubt or hesitation. Another man speaks up from behind you.

"Dad?" says your father.

The stranger squints in confusion.

"Impossible!" he says. "I have no children."

Then who are you?

Why not all tho? That is true justice.

red senses secret desire of blue to enter the problem and pulls lever, pretending it was to save innocent fat man.

For you, a variant with a switcher for Red to allow a bigger trolley onto his track.
Note that it will crash into the smaller trolley, but this will cause an ecological disaster that may or may not endanger the lives of people tied or not tied onto various tracks in the future

Pull the lever, then break it off, then after the big trolley has passed under the bridge walk up and push the fat guy off, then walk down and beat the blue guy and the other survivors with the lever
