thinking about how there's a true solution to the trolley problem and union workers were the ones to point it out
@SnoopJ The Metaphor Problem: You need to be able to describe abstract concepts to uneducated persons, so you use a metaphor to explain it. But then some of those people take the metaphor literally and try to figure out how to resolve it as if it were a literal situation. It's not yet been determined if this is avoidable, since doing so would require a metaphor that applies down to the most minute details possible.
@disorderlyf @SnoopJ ending up with a metaphor so specifically described it’s just narrating the current conditions.
