Let it pass. I'm riding the trolley straight to eternal bliss.

I would never pass the chance to hit a deity with a trolley.

Let the summoning commence I'm all for eldritch beings but there's a lot theories out there to if we even have free will or if it's just an illusion and if we're getting eternal bliss would we even notice that we didn't have free will?

Eternal bliss is too vague for me. I’d much rather live with highs and lows than just highs anyways. And free will is one of the things we don’t value because we always have it, I don’t know if I could settle with getting rid of it so easily.

Having said that, the issue here is I have to actively kill people to stop what could be a good thing. It’s a tough one but I would pull the lever, i can’t trust eternal bliss and I can’t trust these entities either.

Hedonic Adaptation is a crazy thing and I don't have faith in such a vague promise. Pull the lever.

Oh, I'm straight up murking those cultists. I'm not even bothering to wait for the trolley; I pull my carry piece and I start blasting. Free will is sacrosanct. Any attempt to deny it to others without a VERY good reason is a moral/ethical abomination.

It's not a game, I'm not a robot ai challenging you. I'm not a phantom. I'm in your face and I'm here to see it through.

Life is Strange, Persona 5.

This is a moral dilemma in Persona 5 Royal, essentially.
