    @EunieIsTheBus @science_memes It was half joke, half paradox. 😁

    If you kill two sets at the same rate, but one set is smaller, is it less bad?

    The set with one person for every real number, they’re neither spaced nor adjacent. It’s kind of a Zeno’s paradox scenario: no person can ever be first, next, or last. So I think if we can set the rate of killing the same, I’ll choose the real numbers track in hopes that the trolley can’t ever begin. If we set the rate at speed down the track, it’s gotta be the integers.
