now that we got the conversation started on how intrusive thoughts can be extremely distressing and aren't just "crazy ideas" like dyeing your hair, can we explain to the same people how hyperfixation usually leads you to neglecting everything else in life including your basic needs, and not just being excited to get home to continue reading a book?
"my current hyperfixation: basket weaving!!" actually I think some of you are just doing things for fun

the “purpose” of the trolley problem isn’t to artificially manufacture a way to save everybody. The question it asks is whether it’s morally better to commit an intentional act of violence that harms fewer people or to not intentionally commit harm even if the result is to cause more harm than the intentional act. Furthermore, the crucial element is that you don’t have time to do anything besides nothing or the very simple act of switching the tracks. It is not a commentary on solving a broken system or a creative writing exercise. All trying to “fix” the trolley problem does is highlight your discomfort with difficult questions and scenarios.

[Image ID: The poem “One Source of Bad Information”, by Robert Bly.
There’s a boy in you about three
years old who hasn’t learned a thing for thirty
Thousand Years. Sometime it’s a girl.
The child had to make up its mind
How to save you from death. He said things like:
“Stay home. Avoid elevators. Eat only elk.”
You live with this child, but you don’t know it.
You’re in the office, yes, but live with this boy
At night. He’s uninformed, but he does want
To save your life. And he has. Because of this boy
You survived a lot. He’s got six big ideas.
Five don’t work. Right now he’s repeating them to you.
