Sorry I haven’t been posting these. I’m tired and not doing that okay. The trolley dilemma: Would you turn the lever to kill one person or do you let the train go and kill 5? Alternate question (because you are owned another): If you could invent a new atom, would you do it and what would it do? And don’t forget: Innovation starts with education! \-CherryBlossom🌸

Hey don’t apologize. It’s okay to take a break if you’re not doing well mentally. Just know you’ve got all our support 🫶🫶🫶

My grandpa has been sick for 8months so school and my parents are saying I should stop being lazy, when I’m just really tired. I don’t know what has happened to the star student that loved studying and wanted to become a doctor, I feel so damn empty.

I’m so sorry I can’t imagine what that must feel like for you. But the only thing I can kinda say is that it can only get better after it gets worse

1. My actual answer for the trolley problem is to pull the lever. It's morally correct. The other option is not to pull the lever and get rid of 5 CO2-producing humans. (Or, if you're creative, use a long, pointy stick to... well, let's just say that's not a serious suggestion.)
2. I'd make it able to conduct electricity instantly and fuel a warp core (Star Trek). It should be a stable, non-ionic element with a low proton and electron count – safety for humans is a priority (no lead-like properties, please!).
