Clearly from the polls/discussion there is not a reality where 8 billion people pick red. But as a red-instinct person, that is actually little surprising. There are plenty of things that ~all 8 billion people don't do, simply because we are not that dumb. ~All 8 billion people don't jump in front of a train. All 8 billion people don't walk naked into the sahara desert at noon. All 8 billion people don't eat raw roadkill. My first instinct upon reading the question is that not pressing blue is equally as obvious as the examples above, so actually no one is going to do it. Again, it is clear that is wrong, but you can perhaps understand why this is exasperating to red voters

Why do red voters think its perfectly reasonable for all 8 billion people to pick red buts its unreasonable for half of that to pick blue

Red and blue button experiment but where the button you push applies not to you but another person randomly assigned to you.

An actual analogy for the button question: the High Noon Dilemma The sheriff is rounding a posse to kick out a gang of thugs. The thugs will kill the sheriff and everyone in the posse unless 30% of the men in town join the posse, in which case they leave. Do you join the posse?

Everyone’s is pressing the red button right? The blue button is just stupid, there’s no benefit to anyone, just pick the red and move on, no one dies, 100% survival Picking the blue is like tryna be the main character when we can avoid everything lol

This is just like being alive in the 1600s when they got good at making complicated clocks and deduced that every complicated thing in the universe probably functioned exactly like a clock

If voting don’t matter you gotta explain to me why they fighting like hell for Black people to not be able to do so.

If there were many more cars than riders reporting, you would expect a new car to be discovered almost every trip (like your uber example). But based on the mileage, the 89 riders have an avg of 10 rides each. Which means of the 19 cars discovered, they have each been reported an average of ~46 times. Very unlikely we are missing many (if any) cars.

if red is the sane default, blue pushers recklessly endanger themselves over nothing if blue is the sane default, red pushers defect for personal gain hate to break it to you but there's no sane default here. it's all in your head

Everyone on earth takes a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press? BE HONEST.

This is incredible: Elon Musk will receive 200 million super-voting shares in SpaceX ONLY IF the company establishes a permanent Mars colony with at least 1 million people. In other words, Elon Musk will only receive this pay package if 1 million people live on Mars. In other words, Elon Musk's biggest goal is now establishing a colony on Mars with a similar population as Dallas, Texas. Musk is so optimistic about this goal that the vast majority of his pay is now contingent on it. Life on Mars is closer than many expect.
