Do YOU think you're worth more than five other random people?

isn't the entire dilemma that you have to make a choice? In this instance you are free to just walk off the tracks. You have plenty of time, and even if you get clipped you'll likely survive.

Yes.
I'm not, and even if at the moment I wouldn't consider myself to be doing something evil given enough time I would have to live with the fact I murdered others to preserve myself.
Just because you know something is good doesn't make it easier to do.

If i had some idea of how I was going to fix everything, then I would have to preserve myself. If I knew I could fix everything the others and I had done, I might be worth more than five other people. As it stands now, I am no more valueable than one other person, and am in fact, less valueable and more destructive than many others, and so, it would be okay to make the sacrifice. If you are truly good though, you should choose to save yourself because the world needs you, and there is a much greater than 1 in 5 chance that 5 random people are destructive these days. Thats nit to say they are really bad, its just that there are so many people, and almost all of them depend on a system that is consuming much more destructively than productively.

>>10421958
there should be an option to derail the train instead, saving you and the people tied up. In this way, if there's only one guy driving the train, you save the most people possible while also saving yourself.
This is the correct and ethical answer, but it's never presented as an option.
Killing the five people is unethical no matter what. It may be ethical to save yourself and the five people instead of the one guy on the train.

Thats not how it works. The average iq of 5 people will be 100 but chances are there are people well above and below the average. Meaning there would only have to be 1 high performer tied up to make them more valuable which would almost always be the case.
