Excellent, I’d not heard of the coconut island parable before! That’s very apt.
I was thinking of the False Dilemma fallacy. The notion that the only two options are a school bus service with 32% casualty/loss rate, or no bus and a 100% casualty/loss rate, is capitalist gaslighting when we can plainly see the government bus company in other countries getting all the kids to school. For less cost, at that.
