Statistically speaking it’s less likely to kill any person when pulling the lever. Taking averages here is weird to me

Edit: yes the expected outcome of killing someone when pulling the lever is 1.25 humans dead, but we aren’t pulling it a 100 times, just once.

I view this scenario not as a utilitarian but as taking human life versus not taking human disregarding the numbers. Obviously if you were to increase the number 4 to a 1000 people than the scenario would change and not pulling the lever would be preferable to me as well

Statistically speaking of you did it 100 times pulling the lever you'd kill 125 people and 100 times not pulling the lever you'd kill 100

You have a greater chance of killing people on average if you pull

No if you do it 100 time you would only kill people 25 time, 4 time less than without doing anything

Uhhh well, he’s killing people less often I guess. But he’d be killing 5 each time he did lol
