potential future lives arent lives, run over the guys balls this isnt even a dilemma.
They're not potential lives, they're guaranteed because the trolley can see the future
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.
