Itâs the tram thing that Chidi explains in The Good Place
I now understand this, but have no idea why itâs been done, or why everyone else knew what the hell it was on about.

Not sure why anyone would choose to kill 5 people instead of killing one.
Philosophers are stupid.

But you have to make a deliberate action to kill the single person. You could just not touch anything and remain uninvolved.
And if you consider it a simple choice to switch to the track with a single person, what if the way to save the five people wasnât flicking the switch - what if you had to push someone from the trolley to stop it?
AND what if the the one person you chose to kill was your own child?
What if you didnât know anything about the single person, but you knew the five people were all cancer patients with only weeks to live?

Yeah itâs an easy answer
Itâs just a starting point though, as above, you can alter the scenario to find out where you draw the line on what you think it morally good / acceptable.

Gotta be careful not to think about morality too much in an abstract sense as itâs easy to convince yourself it doesnât exist
Itâs funnier if you read it in Benthamâs tongue tbf
