Should be fun but is just depressing. How about a reverse trolley problem where good things happen? Now that i think of it, this might become the next great life/career planning tool…:)

A moment of reflection: on the positive trolley tool, not being able to pick both good things is its own tragedy (let’s say family and career). But the reverse doesn’t behave the same - the decision to pull the lever for two negative outcomes doesn’t cause me to feel joy that only one of the disasters occurs and not both!
