Most "good" men, in the pedestrian sense of "good", are simply individuals who have never found themselves in a situation where they could directly benefit from the disadvantage(s) of another. To think there is some grand moral or religious obligation or duty that restrains men from acting with such oppression is foolish and distant from reality.

Switch to track A because then you have four people in debt to you for saving their lives instead of just one.

That's a 400% increase on favors owed to you, a very good ROI for simply pulling a lever.
