The trolley problem is, simply put, a waste of time philosophical circle jerk that has NO bearing on the real world.

Not in terms of solving the problem it appears to be addressing but it sure does reveal prejudices, and show how people value others, who are considered more worthy, and those less so.

What concerns me is when it is suggested there should be some official accepted and codified ranking of acceptable prejudices and worth.

What would Jesus do?
