"I don't have any moral responsibility because I believe the trolley shouldn't exist in the first place." Totally nuanced and not completely missing the point of the analogy at all. If only everyone knew we could just magically make the trolley disappear we could have skipped over the decades of philosophy written about the trolley problem because the solution is so easy!
I mean you said those words, no need to beat yourself up cause you have a little straw on your face.
That's what it sounds like you are saying. If that's not it, why didn't you tell your solution?
I can't improve anyone's reading comprehension from where I stand.
Who said it was my responsibility to offer a simplistic solution to an undefined problem?
