If you universalize pulling the lever then all the trains would be constantly on the wrong tracks and it would become impossible to predict where they go. Therefore pulling the lever is categorically wrong.

Based.

Also do not kill is a categorical imperative and pulling the lever would be actively killing that person while not pulling the lever is only a hypothetical imperative

>minimise death
If everyone tried to minimise death, then everyone should consider self-sacrifice (one death) to save more people but the saved ones should also strive towards self-sacrifice to save more people and in the end it'll lead to increasing the number of deaths so it cannot be a categorical imperative.
