Double It or Kill Everyone
You can either kill all the people on the top track, or double it and give it to the next person. 24 people have already chosen to double it. Will you kill 16,777,216 people, or double it and give it to the next person?
A black-and-white trolley problem drawing shows a tram approaching a split track, with one person on the upper track and a huge crowd on the other. The caption asks whether to kill everyone on the top track or double the number of people and pass the choice onward; after 24 doublings, the absurd number makes the moral dilemma ridiculous. It is used as a reaction to escalating chain decisions and impossible choices.
