  • In parts, yes. TV does not have the same ability to respond to your actions. It can’t change the program for you specifically to cater to your individual habits. It can’t create the same feedback loop that social media algorithms have that push people further and further into extremist views.

    The question is about which is worse: do you what kids to suffer to make sure nobody can enrich themselves. Or do you allow some scumbags through the net but no child goes hungry?

    Ideally of course you could have both but that would first require a few guillotined politicians and capitalists.




  • That unfortunately means you have to shoot a lot of people. Trolley problems are everywhere. They just arent as obvios as pulling a lever. But your political and consumer behaviour are full of trolley problems.

    So you can either pull the trigger and shoot a lot of people, which will make you a murderer, or, if you dont, through your inactions, a lot of other people will have to suffer through hidden trolley problems. Your choice.
