In both cases, the reasoner has poor reasoning (in the meme, due to being bad at math; in the bridge problem, due to unexpected paradoxes in standard mathematical formulations). Where they diverge is that in the meme, poor logic maximizes (presumably) the decider’s benefit, whereas in the bridge problem, the poor logic minimizes the benefit the agent gets. But in both cases, the poor logic is somewhat self-reinforcing (though even moreso in the bridge problem than the meme)
