pressing the blue button is the most luxurious of luxury beliefs abstract altruism toward unspecified strangers is the last mental model to emerge in any human culture and the first to go when there is any form of struggle it requires generations without any form of predator, institutional scaffolding none of which you built, and the kind of safety and material abundance 90% of the world lacks (and 100% of the world lacked since the beginning of mankind until like yesterday). same kind of thinking as blank slatism or the kind that leads to universal mass migration, same operating system as "they just need better schools and diets" the cost is always absorbed by people poorer than the believer. always. mistaking naiveté and childishness for moral superiority. you're not better, you're just a poor sweet child living in a fable and you should grow up

"but but but blue won" obviously. virtue signaler first worlders who spend their days reading WBW polls are a very good sample for "the world". be serious for a minute.

@IterIntellectus You should travel the world and see how nice and hospitable people are in person. You'll be astonished. Also it would be good for civilization if you left for bit.

@IterIntellectus The question was clearly framed with bias for blue. If it was framed with preference for red, it would likely be a very different outcome. People without the ability to critically think snap-chose blue, thinking they needed to save people.

@IterIntellectus plus nobody's actually dying, so voting blue is free virtue. under actual life-or-death conditions with genuine fear, a lot of those blue votes evaporate.

@IterIntellectus Who among us will post the poll and pay to boost it only in certain countries to see what happens?

@IterIntellectus I don’t know if my grandmother would understand the logic of the question and I don’t know if she would know to vote red, so I vote blue. Everyone lives.

@IterIntellectus This is cope btw. You were wrong but you cry the stakes aren't real so it doesn't count lmao.

@IterIntellectus yeah, people voting blue in the X poll are making a statement. people who are talking about red might not even have voted in the X poll. I didn't. It's a fun thought exercise, not some way to stroke a moral hard on.

@IterIntellectus my man is still trying to cope

@IterIntellectus If blue people exist today, it is because they are midwits. If midwits (68% of the population) were red, blue people would have gone extinct long ago. The scenario in which both survive, as we see today, is one where midwits are blue and the tails are red.

@IterIntellectus you’re doing word association based on colors and keywords like “world”. the problem said “everyone” with no exceptions for children
