The interesting point about this trolley business never gets mentioned; I'll have to do it myself. It comes when you're on the bridge- YOOO could be the individual thrown over. Thus you need your philosophical theory well worked out to be quickly persuasive as the big strong man next to you wonders what he should do. An example of how philosophy is vital to life.
