In reality when these experiments were conducted the frog simply jumped out as soon as the temperature started to raise, frogs will not sit there in slowly boiling water and just die without trying to escape way before the water becomes dangerous.

We need to combine the crabs in the bucket with the frogs in the water and I think we'll have the right metaphor.

Sadly most of us are hopeless lobster boiled by greater powers. Unlike the crabs through you still can save the other lobsters by refraining to eat them.

Except for when it doesn't. It's not clear to me as to what you are trying to say.

None of us are jumping out of the pot. We will boil happily. An argument to the contrary needs to look outside.

Yep, in the experiment where they did not, their brains had been removed. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2009/07/guest...
