I don't understand. Are you actually contending that your sacrifice was ruthless instead of noble, and that's what makes us the same?
You even admit that if it had been someone else, you would've lost the game trying to save everyone rather than sacrifice one for the good of the collective. I don't see how that makes your motives anything less than benign, unless you're calculating morality solely on the grounds of maximum lives saved.
It's fine to be terrible at the trolley problem. Decent people are supposed to be. But the ethics are in whether you pull the switch or not.
