  • Who's justifying?

  • No I never saw "the good place".

    But I've seen a dozen other things that touch this idea.

    One I really like is "Utopia". 2013. British. Good music.

  • I think that's a different thing.

  • It's insight like that. Thanks

  • Thanks man. You really got to the heart of it there

  • It's the trolly problem. So yr spending 100 to save a million

  • Dick and balls aside, no shit Sherlock.

  • That's the same riddle. You get that, right?

    And so we find ourselves without an easy answer. And so we are forced to inspect the riddle more closely. To uncover hidden assumptions and such. We might even do that in conversation, on a forum like lemmy.

  • It's what we call an abstraction. This particular abstraction highlights a moral point.

    Not bullshit. Useful and interesting.

  • Yr nuts

  • Edit: Holy Shit!...

    We're like Hobbits. Very compatible with simple and to the point.

  • Brian Eno, Silver Morning

  • It's the trolly problem. A classic.

  • Well yes, that's my point. For the purposes of our game of riddle-solving the assumption is valid. But for the purposes of "reality" it isn't.

    So there's something going on with perspective there.

  • Ok, why is the trolley problem bullshit? Seriously.

  • Yeah the logic is clear. But consider the lesson of War Games.

    The riddle can also be a mindfucking trap. The first, implicit, assertion of these kinds of riddles is that you must solve the riddle because the riddle is important (because it accurately represents reality or something)

    But that might not be so.

    So if we're gonna cut through the riddle then that might be our access point.

  • That's some good rationality there. Well done.

  • Your emotions are getting in the way of your thinking

  • Yeah I guess that's the ultimate math of it. I'm new to chewing this riddle. I think the most popular answer is to shout that the riddle doesn't exist. I'm still chewing on it.

  • Asklemmy @lemmy.ml

    If we had to torture and murder millions of innocent children to stop global warming would that be okay?

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    Some people talk about what they've seen but most talk about what they've heard. It sounds the same but it's a big difference.

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    Artists, scientists and engineers have a magic trick.

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    Everything you know is wrong.

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    I dislike it when somebody says "so" and then pauses.

  • Asklemmy @lemmy.ml

    Which do you prefer, democracy or dictatorship?

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    I think better when I'm calm. So it follows that getting calmer will make me smarter.

  • Asklemmy @lemmy.ml

    Do you ever get phantom vibrations on your phone?

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    When everybody agrees so perfectly. When conformity is so absolute. When dissent is so rare. It makes one suspicious.

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    Say what you will about totalitarian dictators, at least they’re human.

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    Everybody talks about beliefs like they're this big important thing.

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    There is a reality-translator built into me. It translates raw reality into the familiar time, space, things, people etc.

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    I would happily cut off my nose if authority told me to.

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    To incarnate into a new reality you identify with a character.
