        to me this is one of your clearest expressions of how rationalism falls short

        modern atheistic moral education focuses far too much on the rare cases where we don’t know the right thing to do. much more important are the many ways we set ourselves up for moral failure instead of making it easier for ourselves to live well as a habit

        This is basically System I vs System II thinking, right?

        No, although there’s some similarity... it would take quite a lot of context to explain the difference, which I haven’t written up yet.

        This is always my issue with the trolley problem. It’s impossible for me to imagine what I would do, ethically or otherwise, when experiencing that exact situation would likely leave me too dumbstruck to act at all

        This plus the artificiality of the scenario makes it kind of an antipattern. It's formalized and involves a single discrete decision, so we use it as a metric to test moral theories. But what if optimizing for performance on this metric results in worse performance elsewhere?
