    The dominant strategy is pulling the lever, because assuming both guys on the bridge don’t push, you kill 2 instead of 4, and 2<4. If the guys on the bridge decide to push you kill 1 person in each scenario.

      Yes, but wouldn’t the person on the left be more likely to push than the one on the right, as they could save more lives by sacrificing one?
