Meanwhile Thanos is on the third switch and very frustrated. (He would double it and pass it to the next person - there’s no point in killing four people when there’s a chance that the second-to-last guy might kill half of humanity.)
ok buts let’s go two steps further here. The people who would die if the person at the switch decided to kill are already bound to the tracks, as can be seen in the image. Now, if the choice is “Kill 16 billion people or double it and give it to the next person”, the person who’s supposed to flip the switch is ALREADY on the tracks, unable to move.
So the real question is, what is the default position?
Some day it reaches a person that thinks…
Well, 4 billion people less is better than someone being able to wipe out humanity…
(it would also solve many problems lol)
(and that point would be after 32 people had the choice…)
Thanos waiting patiently in line 💀

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
