EDIT Ok so it’s just the trolly problem.
EDIT2 : AHA War Games 1983. “The only winning move is not to play.” (We might call this the final product of a lot of smart philosophical digestion, because it’s a famous movie). There’s always the perfectly valid option to ditch the riddle. (Because maybe the riddle is dumb, or maybe the riddle is no better than a thousand others, utilitywise )
I know what you are trying to say but I assume that there is no other option to solve the problem, what the post implied.
Well yes, that’s my point. For the purposes of our game of riddle-solving the assumption is valid. But for the purposes of “reality” it isn’t.
So there’s something going on with perspective there.
