    We are overlooking it, because it isn’t part of the hypothetical.

    Otherwise we would also be discussing the logistics of tying infinite people to the train tracks, or the regeneration speed of human bodies.

    It is either finite suffering for infinite people, or infinite suffering for finite people. Which implies the train to keep working for infinity.

      “We”? Who’s “we”?

      All the other “experts” that failed to realise either option cannot occur indefinitely without a good limb clean out every now and then?

      You can imply what you like, but the meme diagram is very clear and should be taken light-heartedly very seriously. Especially since it’s the Trolley Problem scenario.
