   yes excellent what if you pretend the trolley lever isn't there and refuse to use it and instead fervently hope that someday someone will implement a carbon neutral/negative public funded multi-modal transit system that achieves vision zero great job

     Teen Vogue puts it better than me, because somehow it's always lately fallen to Teen Vogue to be a fucking beacon:

     "It's a Kobayashi Maru. There is no winning here, there is no outcome where everyone gets saved."

     You don't get to cheat, like Kirk did. There is no rule to break, no loophole to find and exploit, no last-minute respite.

     There is just better-than-catastrophic and catastrophic.

     Like, let me put this in Star Trek terms.

     It's a Kobayashi Maru. There is no winning here, there is no outcome where everyone gets saved.

     It's an exercise and a test for what you do when you can't win and no matter what you do, unconscionable things will keep happening to differing degrees.

     I am not saying anything that hasn't been said in a million ways already.

     The actual choice is between better-than-catastrophic and catastrophic.

     There is, and "unfortunately" is nowhere near a strong enough word to convey what is happening, No. Other. Choice.

     I will stipulate that not choosing is also a decision. I also think it's a grossly irresponsible, privileged, and selfish one. I also accept that feeling you have to choose is indeed not a choice and one where having to choose is excruciatingly emotionally, mentally, physically painful.
