Notes
    gollark: Deontological systems have rules like "do not kill people", and many deontologists would *not* divert the trolley because they feel like they're killing people one way and not the other.
    gollark: Deontology in action!
    gollark: And what you should do is the moral thing, yes.
    gollark: Anyway! "Consequentialism" basically says "do whatever produces the best eventual outcome (by some metric)", so a consequentialist would probably say "well, 1 people dying is better than 5, so divert the trolley".
    gollark: How ethical.
