Modern Philosopher: Okay but what would you do if *the most horrifying thought experiment you’ve ever heard*
Ancient Philosopher: What the fuck is wrong with you?
modern philosophers: “this horrifying thought experiment actually happens all the time IRL in the year i live in, we just think the IRL versions of it are normal”
ancient philosophers: “oh wow now that i think of it that’s actually true even worse for the year i live in”
both: “…wow the world really does suck huh”
