which one
its the hypothetical dillema where if at least 50% pick blue button, everyone lives. but if 50% or more pick red button, everyone who picked blue button dies (while everyone who picked red lives)
Blue. I wouldn't wanna live in a society where a majority of the population is that cynically selfish anyway
edit nevermind I misunderstood the hypothetical everyone just picks red
in a vacuum red is the correct answer
when you start adding in more shit like people who can't understand the buttons and stuff there's an argument for blue
in reality there's no way to tell what would actually happen, because people are braver when their lives aren't actually at stake
I think a lot of blue button pushers would actually hit red if their life was genuinely on the line
red since blue is unlikely to win. before anyone says internet polls show blue, survival instincts exist and in a real life and death situation, many blue voters will turn red.
now for the people who vote blue, pushing red will just be abandoning them right? yes it will be but pushing blue will just add one more death to that.
someone might say that >50% of people pushing blue is more likely than 100% of people pushing red and that is absolutely true. I still think that both are unlikely and I think realistically, pushing red guarantees the least amount of casualties. remmember, pushing blue doesn’t mean magically 100% of people will survive and could end up as alot of casualties instead.
someone might say they don’t want to live in a world with red button pushers and i have one thing to say “for those who virtue signal and claim to be selfless, r u really?” many people live in poverty, many workers in india and china get very low pay and yet it is u people who benefit from this. you always complain about prices being high but it is only that low because of all these low paying workers. The reality is that the world isn’t perfect and there will always be good and bad.
I personally believe in just guaranteeing the most amount of happiness for the most people. From this perspective I think red stands the highest chance. I don’t believe in a fantasy where over 50% of people vote blue.
That's evident.
Pick Blue if you want to die.
That's the euthanasia button.
