Y'all think the trolley problem is a silly cartoon, huh.
The adults in the room like you rely on complicated concepts, like philosophical problems that they interpret shallowly and put in meme format
Meanwhile us goofballs actually see a horizon beyond alternating which boot will stomp on us for the rest of eternity.
If you could actually fucking do that, I would welcome it with open arms.
In the meantime: this is the hole we are in. Act accordingly.
So your solution to getting out of the hole is to pretend like the hole is inescapable until someone else does the work? Isn't that kind of cowardly?
You're having a fascinating conversation that doesn't seem to involve what I actually write.
You said:
AKA "I'm acting like this reality is inescapable"
And also:
AKA "I'd love it if someone were to do the work for me"
Right, because "in the meantime" means for-ev-errrr. Acknowledging that shit sucks means I want it to suck eternally.
And pointing out that your grand vision hasn't happened yet means it's my fault.
When do you plan on actually contributing to an alternative?
Seriously, what concrete things need to happen before you're like "a better world is worth taking risks for"?
Hey look, more shit nobody said.
Get out of my inbox.
Okay, so are you not able to or not willing to answer the question of "what has to happen for you to start giving a shit?"
