The problem is that the train is on one track or the other. If the brain could not determine the initial state of the trolley lever, then his choice would in fact matter. Since the trolley would take a determined course whether or not the brain was present means the brain has no moral burden for not activating the lever.

>>8583955
Pulling the lever makes no difference. They both contain - 1/2 people, as the Riemann zeta function tells us that the top track contains -1/2 and not infinite people and 1 + 2 + 3 + ..... = 1 + (1 +1) + (1 + 1 + 1) +....

Bottom because there will be a point where there are enough humans bundled together to have enough mass to stop the train. Then the suffering will stop.

My condolences for the ones that get sacrificed prior and up to that point.

duh the top route, with the bottom one you would kill infinite people because the harmonic series diverges

But in choice b at some point the number of people will get big enough for the sum of their mass to stop the train
