    I think most of these have just become self-satire and clever attempts to come up with increasingly convoluted ethical choices.

    It’s not anti-intellectualism, it’s anti-trolly-problem specifically.

      My favorite version is:

      A trolley is approaching a junction and you have the ability to leave the switch where it is, sending the trolley into an innocent person tied to the tracks, or pull the lever sending the trolley down the tracks to someone else that is now faced with the same trolley problem.
