@ArtFacility @baalzamon35 this one reminds me of the video of that spinning arm carnival ride that starts tipping over as it spins and one person tries to hold it down, then more see more help is needed. some do run away seeing it might collapse on them. but enough band together to hold it until it stops
English
The crusher is a great way of illustrating this problem.
For the Red Button folks, they see this as an abstract where the crusher kills nobody until/unless they make an informed decision. Obviously, you'd get out of the way right? Hell, everyone should move, the scenario will wait long enough to get everyone out.
For the Blue Button folks, they picture a helpless child or maybe even all helpless children trapped and are willing to risk their lives (on paper at least) to hold the crusher up and protect those unable or unwilling to move. Who wouldn't risk their life to save another? Or at least, WANT the courage to do so.

The whole blue and red button drama is basically this summarized If everyone clicked red, nobody would die. Those that click blue have suicidal empathy

@CoryRockFF @waldenpod since blue otherwise has no affect on red win or lose, why don’t you publicly advocate for blue votes in the chance it does potentially save up to half the world, while privately picking red anyways outta self-preservation?
English
ugh you just want to feel morally superior so you choose the option that saves hundreds of millions of human lives 🙄
English
@CoryRockFF @waldenpod potentially having up to half the world’s pop killed, seems pretty dangerous and puts surviving reds at risk in a post-culling low-trust highly individualistic and selfish world without any selfless or helpful or altruistic people around. easier to get a simple majority than 100%
English
@x_MoonlitShade the buttons are presented as the interface, and not guns or poison or trains or cliffs or alligators or whatever. some may try to think of imaginary equivalencies when they decide staring down these two buttons, but not everyone. will never get 100% red
English
Sure I agree with you here. What I find crazy is people saying shit like “if you press red you’re choosing to kill everyone who chose blue / you want them to die” like… imagine instead of buttons, there’s 2 guns. Everyone must shoot themselves in the head with a red or blue gun.
The red gun is empty.
The blue gun will magically resurrect everyone who committed suicide with it if over 50% of the population commits suicide with it.
Would the red gun people be blamed in this scenario? Even though it’s the exact same scenario? No. I don’t think so.
English
One thing this button hypothetical really shows off is peoples’ inability to take accountability for their own actions and tendency to blame others for it. They always somehow miss the initial step that caused all this. They pressed the blue button first. THEN they die if red wins.
It’s like when Person A cheats on their partner, and Person B finds out and tells the partner, then they say Person B destroyed their relationship. No. Person A did by cheating first.
If you press the blue button, red voters aren’t killing you, you killed yourself by pressing it. There’s an initial step you’re blatantly ignoring. Insanity.

@x_MoonlitShade @lunya105 killings only happen if red wins. the less red voters, the safer everyone is.
English
@x_MoonlitShade red voters dont seem to consider that every red press increases likelihood that blue dies. red weighs down the scales towards ‘make it harder for the blues to survive.’ even if not consciously the driving motivation.
“I dont care as long as I’m safe”. then tries to rationalize it
English
@x_MoonlitShade or can simply get at least 50.1% of the world to agree that no one should die
English
@x_MoonlitShade I’ll rephrase to ‘you can only protect others if blue wins.‘
you might say then don’t put yourself into a situation that needs rescuing. but what about the most vulnerable of society, innocent young, the sick, ones unable or unwilling to decide what might be selfishly rational?
English
@MarsAutomatic @TravH_2 @F_Edits @CosmonautMarcus your choice tips the scale 1 more towards potentially killing up to half the population. or say, even in overwhelming red wins, with 99.99% choosing it, that still results in 830,000 in the world dead. Reds activate the kill switch. Blues deactivate it for all.
English
@TravH_2 @F_Edits @CosmonautMarcus Me choosing to live and you choosing to opt into a game of Russian Roulette is not me killing you.
English
You can argue all you want but Blue Button Gigachads won the vote on every poll and Seething Red Buttoners still have to justify their cowardice
Tim Urban@waitbutwhy
Everyone in the world has to take 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?
English
@CosmonautMarcus reds need a scarlet letter or a mark of the beast to distinguish them if it isn’t akready apparent by abhorrent behavior
English
@x_MoonlitShade @lunya105 killings only happen if red wins. the less red voters, the safer everyone is.
English
@lunya105 The goal isn’t for 100%, it’s just the simple fact that you have a 0% chance of dying if you press red. Anyone who pressed blue literally did it to themselves.
English
Am I missing something here?? It’s easier to get >50% Blue than 100% Red
Even 1% is 80 million people dead if 99% clicked red. So if the results were switched, that’s 3.5 billion people dead. Society would be in shambles and your life/the world would change drastically :(

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.
English
@ACMEngineer @iamthebest015 @my_2cents__ by this very chart it shows that people only die if red wins.
English
Congrats blue voters. We’ve saved EVERYONE unselfishly and unanimously. Even the stupid red voters

@MisterFalconM @Hesamation if enough equally portion out the Kool-Aid, it will no longer be deadly. bound to be some that drink it;maybe kids, elders w dementia or people who like the color blue. Not all are purely rational or intellectually capable. so do you sit idly by or help out to prevent any deaths?

@TylerDuprey @theramblingfool like, what’s more likely or easier to achieve: there is absolute 100% conformity and agreement and no one dies. or, 51% dont want others to die, and no one dies.
English
@AddisonBanana @theramblingfool 1. If your parents want you to choose blue then they hate you and don’t mind if you die.
2. No one is making it hard to survive.

@TylerDuprey @theramblingfool do reds even realize they are adding weight to the crusher, potentially killing others(children included). when instead could be helping lift it up in collective strength and no one dies?
English
English
@theramblingfool I’m fine being a weak coward who lives. You’re more than welcome to die virtuous in return for nothing.
I mean, imagine being your life on the innate goodness of people in 2026 😂😂
English
@TylerDuprey @theramblingfool i would hope to think my parents would choose to protect me and family and others~ leading to the option with the lowest threshold that would result in zerø deaths. i dont wanna be related to ones who actively make it harder for others to survive
English
@theramblingfool Would you encourage your loved ones to push blue?

@ACMEngineer @LishaLycoris @theramblingfool do reds even realize they are adding weight to the crusher, potentially killing others(children included). when instead could be helping lift it up in collective strength and no one dies?
English
@theramblingfool @Cary_Bleasdale all the more reason to hit blue to protect the innocent
English
@Cary_Bleasdale Putting on my red button pusher hat, I'd wager they would resort to saying something like "Those are fake people" or "Blue button pressers are children, only children would appeal to characters from stories."
(See my post on cynicism and optimism.)
