I think the moral "dilemma" is supposed to be

  1. You pull the lever and now you've now actively killed someone or,
  2. You don't pull the lever and 4 people died, but you weren't the one to kill them so you're basically clean

It's stupid, but I think that's the idea

It's a Sieve of Eratosthsenes in disguise. It's pretty clever from what I remember, but I don't recall all the details.

Ah yes, because it's impossible for someone to care about genocide without it being about the ulterior motive of their self image. Famously, anti genocide is just a cutsie little insignificant cause.

Can I ask what use this information would have to you?

As a guy who bikes out of necessity for my finances, it's kinda whack to see people say biking is a rich person's thing.

My freaking God. I volunteered at a local charity org a bit this summer and one of the first things they told us in orientation was that "most people think that poverty is about what people lack. But it's actually a mindset." That pissed me the heck off not gonna lie.

You might need to elaborate. I'm confused at the Bell curve (which is a visual representation of the normal distribution) not having any value at all.

The Central Limit Theorem guarantees that the normal distribution will show up all over the place. To say that it has no value scientifically is simply false.

We have had the solution for hundreds of years. Most people, however, don't want to hear it.
