I'm European, but I grew up in the states. My posts from Seattle friends should have been the clue. Trying to designate me is a hard thing.
See that's the problem with analogy, if you go deeper and discuss the realities within it, they tend to fail. I had a Dutch guy explain to me how stupid I was for finding a third solution to the train analogy. If it can be switched on the tracks, it is going slow enough to stop before anybody dies. Any deeper knowledge on the actual subject derails the whole thing.
Yes, it is an interesting idea. I mean no offense to Graphium.
If you want amazing metaphors the Arabs have a few. My favorite is looking for watermelon seeds in shit. Beautiful imagery and describes the feeling perfectly.
Cheers, no problem. I like to share it because it made me think, so I hope it has similar effects on everyone else. I just find it to be very....evocative writing

Lmao that was my exact same answer the first time someone gave me the trolley problem.
I did enjoy Graphenium's analogy, though I'm more curious what the source of the text is and why it looks like someone is talking to a chatbot.

Not you specifically, it seems like literally your entire continent can’t wrap their head around the purpose of a metaphor
>literally misses the point of a trolly-ology question to “correct” someone’s “metaphor”
Ok dude, it does sound like europeans just can’t comprehend the purpose of a metaphor, thanks for confirming lol
So you just avoid metaphor entirely I assume? Since every metaphor is fundamentally flawed?
