Infinite Trolley Problem

Do you pull the lever, killing 1 + 1 + 1 + 1... people - one person for every integer - resulting in infinite people dying? Or, do you do nothing, allowing the trolley to infinitely kill 100 continuously reincarnating people? In both cases, there is infinite suffering; but in the top case there is finite suffering for each infinite death, whereas there is infinite suffering for each finite death. What do you do?

A trolley approaches a loop of tracks carrying countless people, while another track contains 100 continuously reincarnating people. The text presents an absurd philosophical dilemma: pulling the lever causes infinitely many people to die one at a time, while doing nothing causes the same 100 people to die infinitely. It is sent as a reaction to impossible moral choices and paradoxical thought experiments.
