it doesnt matter they dont exists the other people do, killing people isnt bad because there are less people around its bad cuz u fucking killed someone, maximizing the number of people on earth isnt some moral imperative.

also they are potential, if i crush the guys balls they wont exist so the trolley can at best see potential futures.

If the trolley is basically laplaces demon, then the only outcome that will happen is killing 500.

If those lives will definitely exist then the choice that will be made regardless of the morality will be killing 500. Anyway, who decided more people in the world is a moral good? In my culturally constructed opinion, what matters is people that currently live, not whether or not people exist in the future (I would say the quality of people’s lives in the future might matter though).
