Dan listens to rain falling on the rooftop added,
it is a pretty good thought experiment
whether or not it was originally created for this purpose it presently serves elegantly as an example of a style of reasoning that encourages us to find obvious flaws and level up our thinking
the ability to sustain a meta-cognitive artsphere of memes is a good pointer to this attribute of the trolley problem
original trolley problem is bad, trolley problem memes are good. every time a trolley meme is created it means someone leveled up and thought about how to express a more complex and interesting idea by co-opting a stupid idea
this concludes my brief thread about a brief thread about a bad good thought experiment
