A train is running down a track which has five people on it
You can flip a switch that would divert the train to a track with only one person on it. Should you flip the switch?

That one person could be the person destined to change the world.
To flip the switch I am actively choosing to kill someone.
To not flip the switch I am passively watching people die.
How do I know that saving the 5 is better than killing the 1? Quantity vs quality.
I'm going to let destiny do its thing and not interfere.
