@Yadukeskrib @BropeJim @FT_Merchant05 @TheDunkCentral Bro he literally won euroleague mvp at 17 it was obvious

@BropeJim @FT_Merchant05 @TheDunkCentral Was very hard to see tell a guy overseas that we the best player available at that time especially on a team that already had d fox
English
Vlade Divac says he passed on drafting Luka Dončić because he already had a point guard, didn’t want to play him at small forward, and didn’t want a big-name player like Luka in a small market.
“All of my assistants told me that he can play small forward, and I said no, no, Luka is a point guard. Luka is a coach on the floor. And I felt that if I get Luka, I would have to trade De’Aaron Fox, and I already got a relationship with Fox, and I see he’s a perfect fit for us, a small market team, and Luka was a big market player.”

@FT_Merchant05 @TheDunkCentral It’s not revisionism anyone who knew ball about Luka thought he should’ve went #1
English
@TheDunkCentral He’s right. Drafting Bagley was the right person to take in every single universe. Revisionism never helps with these typa scenarios

@HoodlumCallum @SheepEtiquette Rock, ghost, electric, flying don’t have any high distribution physical moves that don’t have drawbacks
English
@ericzb13 @SheepEtiquette there are more physical moves than special moves, so duh
English
@HoodlumCallum @SheepEtiquette There’s a lot of terrible physical moves though. Basically every type has a good special move
English
@SheepEtiquette point is people are acting as if special attackers have it better than physical when they really don't

@madeofmistak3 @KraftAvi The way for the most mayhem is if only you get the purple and mauve options and say half the people have already voted but you don’t know how
English
@KraftAvi which ever interpretation leads to more mayhem is what i meant
English
If > 50% press the blue button, everyone survives.
If < 50% press the blue button, only red pushers survive.
If you push purple then blue votes are changed to red.
If you push mauve then red votes are changed to blue.
Which button would you press?
English
@voooooogel Plus with campaigning it becomes entirely possible some countries would all press red intentionally hoping to weaken countries with blue pressers
English
imo this riles people up bc it feels like the prisoner's dilemma but is actually the opposite: the more coordination you get to do before the vote, the better red. in an uncoordinated scenario, press blue and start praying. if you can campaign for a year, campaign for red
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
@maylivesforever @Stretchedwiener It says it’s a private vote which implies no communication
English
@Stretchedwiener you’ve added restrictions (no communication) that were not in the original problem
English
If you want to propose a different version of the thought experiment - write it up.
This one, the one we're talking about - "Everyone" votes. Not just people over certain age, not just people who understand the question, not a subset. Everyone.
You don't vote for your kids. You don't even get to tell them how to vote. They vote. Everyone votes.
And plenty of adults "vote" by choosing randomly, in real elections. Because they don't have a strong grasp of what they are voting for. They don't deserve to die, regardless of the callous insulting opinion so of "red choosers" who want to cull "low IQs".
As a parent - you make choices that risks their lives without their consent more often than you want to know.
Christian Ohnimus@ChrisOhnimus
@Stretchedwiener @waitbutwhy If true, I push Blue. But it doesn't specify how edge cases are handled. "Vote" implies intention and not random assignment. For example, if I have to vote for my kids (or other dependents) am I obligated to choose Red, since Blue risks their lives without their consent?

@Helot_ @silobv2891 @pocyk228 “The scenario is exactly the same” proceeds to explain how the scenario is different
English
@silobv2891 @pocyk228 The scenario is exactly the same. Saying the word "woodchipper" simply makes the possibility of needless, pointless death more real to people without the mental capacity or sanity needed to understand a problem like this.
English
Retards press red out of selfishness. Midwits press blue out of reckless illogical selflessness. Smart people press red because they assume everyone is smart as they are. Wise people press blue because they know other blue pressers are a majority.
Solved.

@Exothaumic @plasmarob I’d agree if the question was only asked to intelligent adults but if it’s everyone you’re gonna get kids pressing random buttons, people misunderstanding the question etc so in that case everyone should go blue to ensure no one dies
English
@plasmarob Red is clearly the superior choice. No one has to die if they just press red. Blue is introducing entirely unnecessary complications just so people can feel better about themselves.
English
The red button advocates really do seem like morally inferior people
Many say I'm signalling virtue
I happen to think my view is more virtuous, and there is no actual praxis here so what is the problem? I do donate a substantial amount to the poor
Find virtue i guess
English
@LincolnMargison @Cassiematic @catehall I said it’s wrong bc if everyone was 100% rational then red is correct but that’s not the case irl. The same thing goes the other way, choosing red you’re only saving yourself from other people who would choose red thinking the same thing as you and essentially killing blues
English
But if we agree it's the "wrong button", then the majority of the people who you'd be saving with blue, are also people thinking that same train of thought. So you're basically creating and part of a new category, and forcing that burden onto other people. You're the group of people who are aiming to save people who want to save that group which never otherwise existed.

This one is funny because I know the game theory correct answer, and yet am instinctively leery of people who pick it

English
@LincolnMargison @Cassiematic @catehall It being a wood chipper instead of a button changes the question though. In this case there’s basically no chance someone mistakenly goes into the wood chipper just due to human instinct. There would be millions of people who press the wrong button for different reasons
English
@Cassiematic @catehall What would you response be to this wording of the question:
x.com/redtachyon/sta…
It's functionally identical, but I feel like that would change most blue voters' minds.
Ariel@redtachyon
Every human stands in front of a massive woodchipper. You can either jump into the woodchipper or not. The woodchipper has a design flaw - if more than 50% of humanity jumps in, it will break and everyone survives. If less than 50% do it, those people will die. What do you do?

This is great & should be federal
Best thing Lina Khan did was “Click to Cancel” requiring subscription cancellation as easy as sign-up, & to disclose renewal terms before billing.
Trump admin killed it 6 days before it was to take effect, under pressure from Comcast & Home Alarm lobby.
Pure evil.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
If corporations allow you to sign up with one click, you should be able to cancel with one click too. Subscription traps, whether from an app or gym membership, are just another way corporations take advantage of working people. We've already put hundreds of companies on notice. This week, we proposed a rule that would make NYC a national leader in cracking down on abusive practices that nickel-and-dime New Yorkers.
