    Even if I were told the lever does nothing, I’d pull the lever. Of course, I would.

      Yup. The people who told me the lever doesn’t work might be lying or wrong. Doing anything is better than doing nothing.

    Yes, the illusion of control comes through useless action. If that’s all I got, then so be it.

    As per my usual answer to these trolly “problems,” I jump in front of the trolley before comprehending the situation

    Hey, the people tied to the tracks might not know that. If I frantically pull it, at least their final moments show someone trying to save them instead of indifference, even if it’s futile.

    you are told the lever does nothing and not to pull it. Do you pull the lever?

    *pulls lever

    The lever speeds up the trolley.

    Presumably the lever is controlling the real trolley problem being run next door.
