fascinated by people arguing we should all press the red button logically because if everyone presses it no one dies… it’s so internet game theory poisoned but extra stupid. i think everyone who thinks like that should be sent to pick vegetables in a field

This isn’t a test of morals it’s a test of reading comprehension.

Dumbest fucking hypothetical ever posted

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.

Something I noticed.

It's happening again.

A train is coming down a track. Everyone on Earth has the choice to either tie themselves to the track, or not. If more than 50% of people choose to tie themselves to the track, the train turns around and doesn't run them over. Yes or no - do you tie yourself to the track?

"Would you be willing to push a button?" "Ah, sure I guess." "Would you be willing to jump into this giant blender? Don't worry, I promise you magically won't get hurt, so it's functionally identical to pressing a button." "...No?" "Ahh ha! I got you!"

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
