The door game was never even the best part of Let's Make A Deal

@coriander okay genuinely curious

I see you're sick of monty hall posting.

but in comparison how do you feel about trolley problem posting?

@lapis Oh I'll take monty hall over the trolley problem any day

@coriander @lapis the trolley problem is just the Monty hall problem for edge lords

@Taweret @coriander there are some fucked up fatphobic¹ versions of the trolley problem I'm really glad Mastodon doesn't get into

^{1: Like, don't even make sense to me. Because human bodies don't work the way they're proposed to in this version. yes. even if you're fat.}

@lapis @Taweret It's also just a bad thought experiment in the first place

@coriander @lapis that's why edge lords like it

@coriander @lapis it does a lot of things edge lords like. reduces human lives to 'logical' numbers, mistakes overconfidence in logic for moral clarity, pretends detached choice under pressure is a good stand-in for real ethical framework and allows you to get weirdly smug about murdering the 'right' number of people
