what if the number of people on the tracks is “infinite in both directions”? eg the trolley “starts at” -∞?
That's still the same size of infinity. Infinities are strange. But you can rearrange -∞ to ∞ to be the same size as 0 to ∞. You can do this by moving the negative numbers alongside their positive counterpart, like so:
0, 1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3, etc.
This infinity is still a countable infinity, same as
0, 1, 2, 3, etc.
So it makes no difference whether you start at 0 or -∞
yeah, but if it starts at -inf and I start at 0 then I don't have to look at the horrible things I'm allowing to happen
