"But that's going to damage the trolley and disrupt service! Why do you hate public transit?"

(Image says that the solution to the trolley problem is to "slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do, in order to cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt, from https://kolektiva.social/@sidereal/111779015415697244 )

when presented with this problem, I ask if I can back up the trolley so I can go down both paths.
