      Amazing how he left out an obvious correct answer in order to provide a false dilemma. These are not the only answers...🙄🤦🏻‍♂️ https://twitter.com/BallouxFrancois/status/1307410852434378753 …

      It was meant as a little thought exercise about dealing with actual problems, which rarely have 'solutions', but only allow for tradeoffs, unappealing ones. It worked beyond my wildest expectations.

          Well, given the choices I opted not to vote, as - I suspect - many others did.

          Professor, u don’t think it’s valid to say the analogy doesn’t account for 2 critical points: i) When the spider bites, > 1 spiders appear in another person’s house ii) If you’re bit by the spider, there zero to little knowledge on how the venom will affect you over time.

          I've discussed both those points to death. I don't believe either is particularly essential in the context of this analogy.

          How dare you present an argument the average person can understand? We must keep this discussion highly nuanced and leave it to the "experts".
