ok i fixed this problem last week and now i cant remember where the damn setting was
excel people: somehow a file got messed up and now when you click in a cell to edit the text in it it deletes the contents of the cell instead of letting you edit what is there. how do i stop it from doing that? google isnt helping.
Is it unethical to save the life of a person if you're a time traveller and they're in immediate danger but you know that in your future they die at this moment? Do you risk destroying the time stream for that? Is it the right thing to do, or not?

Also the only thing I like about thought experiments is picking them apart
the trolley problem is just a way to have a shouting match devolve into a full on fistfight between kantists and utilitarians
I would throw the first chair
but the answer is "tell the dude to move"
That's the answer. Whoever made the thought experiment may not like it but fuck that guy
I'm honestly not sure if you're being purposefully obtuse or not.
Ok, so the conductor / brain in a vat is controlling the scenario from a switchbox a mile away, watching via camera, and has no means of communication. Purposefully missing the point doesn't do anything to alter the subject of the thought experiment, it just asks the people involved to entertain meaningless and distracting hypothetical scenarios.
the brain in the vat is at the wheel of the trolley. Not a mile away.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

also lud is reading a joke one like it's the real one
trolley headed for five men, who will not see the trolley in time
can be diverted towards one man, who especially does not expect a trolley and will not be able to get out the way either
they're far too far away to run to them and shout, you have no other way of warning them in time because the trolley is coming now but you have the lever.
that is the problem.

Look Wesley fucking Crusher in Star Trek was given basically the trolley scenario for his academy training in Star Trek and he told the one guy to fuck off without much hesitation at all so it can't be that hard

Is the classic construction of the trolley problem such that you have to hit the switch to change to the track with one person but if you do nothing the trolley hits the five people?
I have read so many versions of it at this point I don't know what the point of the original was.

Well there are three tracks but you don't know what's on them, and you are shown what's on one of the tracks that you don't choose, then you are given the choice of changing tracks
Let Jesus take the wheel. It is in God's hands now.
Also, God's a bit miffed at the abomination his creations have birthed, taking the brain of one of his sons or daughters and hooking it up to a turn of the century locomotive, reducing it's existence to one of mindless servitude in which it's free will is restricted to an artificially binary set of morally ambiguous choi-oooooooohhhhh.
If the 5 people die you get sbarro, if the one person dies you get papa johns

Also there is an out of control trolley and it doesn't have some sort of emergency horn or bell? What libertarian hellhole with no safety standards does this guy live in

I would press the button to kill someone else for 1 million dollars if and only if I had a signed contract from the person with the box stating that no one in my family would be selected for any current or future box.
I would sacrifice one person to save ten or more people, provided I did not know or care about that person.
If I knew/cared for that person, I would sacrifice up to 1000 people to save them, possibly more.

no it is not because the thought experiment includes "they cannot be warned in time"
because you're out of earshot obviously
If you have time to analyze this entire scenario and make a decision they can be warned in time
and what if the reader is Italian there is no way they're out of earshot
I specifically said they cannot be warned in time. How much deliberation time you have was not stated; all you've been told about how much time you have is that it is not enough to warn them.
Look if you're going to pick something apart, don't do so by just pretending/being obtuse and dumb for the sake of it.
the base trolley problem is easy, we face it in real life all the time... the general practice is you let people boned by fate be boned
if you start deciding peoples fate you get sued
duh

While not necessarily illegal, it is certainly frowned upon to fart on a coworker's paycheck.
