“You know this one: You’re in an out of control train, about to run-over five people. If you throw a switch you can save three lives, but only by personally killing two others. This scenario has been thrown at college kids for decades, and it is a weapon … a weapon intended to break their moral confidence. How? By getting the kids to imagine being broken. The scenario being thrust into their minds is precisely the type that breaks people.” (09/15/25)
