Well, it's not really the curation of triggers that you raise. You're raising 
the curation of possible actions/bins the trigger disambiguates. My claim is 
that will (largely) take care of itself if people think hard about the triggers.

As silly as it may seem for, say, some middle class white woman to call 911 
when she sees a crowd of black teens using the swimming pool, if we could 
somehow encourage her to *consciously* consider that trigger, the crowd of 
black teens at the pool, I claim that such consideration *automatically* 
curates the triggered action. The more she thinks about her triggers, the less 
likely she is to assign an unreasonable action to that trigger.

And it's not clear to me that you really need curation of the triggers. The 
trigger can remain for the rest of one's life. For example, I suspect I have 
trypophobia

 But having a *name* for the trigger helps me a lot, even if I can't help that 
my heart races and I start sweating when I look at that set of google images.
