@JessTheUnstill @MichaelEMann @Futurism swear to dog, we’re getting globally screwed over by the stupidest people ever.

Adds insult to injury.

@blogdiva @KatyElphinstone the kind who’s concerned more about their own potential culpability than the fact that people are dead.

We could be equally callous and assert that neurotypicals are more likely not to blame Sally for the death of her friend because they identify more with the alive person and their self-preservation compels them to deny any responsibility.

These kinds of studies always end up showing how effed up neurotypical tendencies are.

@KatyElphinstone your analysis of the situation is spot on I think. I really vibe with the blame vs responsibility distinction. Sally is inherently responsible having decided to make her opinion known which influenced her friend’s action. The friend is also responsible for her own actions. It wouldn’t even occur to me to look for blame in a situation like this unless I was forced to.

Before I read the thread, with only the information in the first two posts, my impression of this test was that it trivializes a fairly complex moral conundrum.

I feel this is the case for a lot of assessment type studies that have hypothetical scenarios and questionnaires like this. The questions always leave enormous elephants in the room, begging the reply “it depends”.

@MsMadLemon how awesome!

@epicdemiologist @futurebird I’m saying this unironically, learn from anarchist thinking. That’s literally the core idea of anarchism.

@ienvision @log @cbarbermd also the swing and bounce of the chest area suggest massive racks on those dudes
