I'm not voting for AOC because I'm voting for AOB, the prototype
I’m holding out for AOEII.
It's really interesting watching discussions about the trolley problem in abstract vs the problem in praxis. Because the thought experiment is about inaction (letting the runaway train crash into the group of people) on one hand and harm reduction (switching tracks) on the other.
The thing that I find fascinating is that with the thought experiment (basically) everyone says the answer is clear: switch tracks. But in the applied scenario of voting picking the lesser evil somehow stains your hands more than not voting.
