In the realm of voting the trolley problem is accurate, but I agree that there is more than can be done outside of that. One can pull the lever and rush to try to get the person off the tracks.
Yeah maybe it can buy us time to do that
I hate to feel hopeless, but people always ask me what's my plan and to be honest ... I don't know
oh! I recently asked you what your plan is and I thought you answered well and it gave me enough hope to get by
Thank you for saying so, but do you think we have enough time?
While there's life there's hope, friend! We're around two generations into imagining hope post-apocalypse and we rehearsed one already.
I'll try to cultivate your optimism. I just said to someone else if we try and things perish anyway, at least we'll die knowing we weren't complicit
I hope we die old and at peace in some kind utopia, or if not we die building towards that for others
I have the same hope. I feel pretty old, so I'm hoping to at least feel like things are gonna be OK for everyone else when I'm on my way out
Does the answer to that change anything? We should still do the best we can with what we can do. While saving 1 person and failing to save the rest is absolutely terrible, it's also better than saving 0 and so still worth doing
True, I suppose it's either try or throw our hands up and cease trying
If we try and the planet dies anyway, at least we'll go out knowing we weren't complicit
