Either way, you gotta have your hand on the lever!
Yes, despite my sassiness towards you in this thread this is a true and wise observation that goes ignored too often. My disagreements are not pertaining to the idea of inaction constituting action
No worries, I would 100% prefer the proverbial third track, but it isn't connected yet. In the meantime, I'll have extreme disdain for the jackasses standing around moralizing while the train is actively running people over.
Political power is gained via votes! Vote! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I mean, yeah, this is why I think my picture turned out pretty good, Because the blue option is the better one in every single junction, but the best outcome cannot be reached by always traversing the blue path. It's interesting to try to figure out which path in that diagram produces the best overall outcome, and then compare that with what produces the best outcome if we only consider the most immediate results. I'm curious which colors you'd vote for if you were at the first junction in my diagram, knowing that your vote does not guarantee the outcome?
