A situation in which a group of people must determine whether or not a controversial artist can be separated from their art, which usually depends on the severity of their crimes/the quality of their work. This term was coined from a meme making fun of DaBaby, stating that he is “not a talented enough to be separated from art.”

Get the The DaBaby Dilemma mug.The Savant's dilemma occurs when the only reliable method of receiving recognition for your work is to cease working on it, thereby letting the project or effort die.
This typically occurs as a younger person of abnormally high skill is transitioning through the ranks but has not yet been universally recognized for their contributions.
It is particularly likely when such a skilled person is placed on a project that includes more senior people of broader influence and visibility. The outperformer may have no real path to gain visibility since people not on the project will naturally assume the success of the project should be attributed mostly to the person(s) who already have greater visibility. As the outperformer contributes more and more to the project, a greater share of recognition is diverted away from them.
Once this situation occurs, it may be in the savant's interest to leave the project, and let it die. In doing so, the savant receives recognition in hindsight. By not leaving, the savant expands the misconception and hinders his or her career.
To avoid this, invisible savants should avoid being on projects from their beginning, unless they are given the senior role. They can join a troubled project mid-way through, even in a non-senior role, provided the state of the project is widely understood. Their addition to the project will prompt questions of "what changed", thereby giving them visibility in spite of the lack of official title.

What happened to project X, it sounded like it was going so well?
Bob left.
But he wasn't the lead on that, what's the problem?
Well, he's the one who actually was doing everything. He moved to project Y, which was a mess till he got there.
So it was the savant's dilemma?
Yeah, but at least he won't be in that situation again.

We can fix that. *Boop* There... Was that ok? Yeah, I'm sure it's fine... They would do it if they could... You know, maybe not. I'll just give em a little nudge... But, to balance it out, I'll just tell them not to... Or at least not do do it without thinking about it.... Yeah, that's good. That'll be fine."

God's dilemma (Again)
God "Well, what's the alternative?" 🤷
Hym "The alternative is you being bored and lonely instead of me being subjected to the horrors of reality. Even at the baseline level of analysis it's horrific and surreal."
God "Hey, you don't HAVE to do it..."
Hym "The dilemma exists in my absence! I... That isn't even a choice I should have to make! You've already blown WAAAAY past the choices I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN to make. It's too late for any of that."
God "Welp.... Nothing anybody can do about that now..."
Hym "You... You bastard... You selfish bastard! I'm going to fucking destroy you!" 🔥🤬🔥

Get the The Finch Dilemma mug.The good-option dilemma is that typical scenario where—for example—some evil authority figure holding you hostage gives you two options: one where you suffer the most and the other where you don't suffer as long as you give them what they want. Obviously you pick the second option out of desperation, but the dilemma here is that no matter what option you choose, in the end the evil figure will still make you suffer (typically by being killed or watching your loved ones die).
I had a good-option dilemma today where my computer's SSD got corrupted and I either had two options: wipe everything and do a clean reinstall of Windows, or pay a few hundred bucks to have some specialist recover the contents. So I paid for the recovery but the people shipped back the wrong drive with somebody else's files! So in the end, I had to wipe my drive no matter which option I went for. This is the good-option dilemma in a nutshell.
