Humanity is.

@stellasplace1 @TaylorIsOnline0 Nerve impulses are not the same as sentient brain activity. Im convinced you retards all act on random nerve impulses rather than logical or critical thought

@PowerLunch_biz @TaylorIsOnline0 Whataboutism makes you look stupid, just fyi.

@TaylorIsOnline0 Neither does abortion, but you all got really shitty with us when we protested your favorite prez vaporizing 170 children a few weeks ago 🤷♀️

@1ntolerantLeft @TaylorIsOnline0 Most people that Jeffrey Dahmer met weren't killed by him. He might have actually been really nice to most of them too.
Still should have locked him up.
English
@TaylorIsOnline0 Neither do most appointments at planned parenthood. A lot of them are for routine sexual health visits that have nothing to do with a pregnant person. Yet lunatics insist on standing at the doors and harassing them anyways. Hope that helps.

Everyone is put in front of a red and blue button
The blue button requires 50%+ to press it to activate cold fusion making energy essentially free for everyone
But if 50%+ press the red button the reactor backfires sending a charge killing anyone who pressed the blue button
English
@OttoBerlandieri It's not selfishness. Success is just defined differently.
Blue: 100% survival, not guaranteed
Red: 50-100% survival, guaranteed
There is no right answer, but for any group of voters, shared values are required to get "best" case scenario (which the whole world never will).
English
People who push the red button are the same kind of people who would hide they were bit by a zombie.
Not exactly, but It's selfish preservation that condemns others to die for no reason if they successfully hide it. Its a direct choice to that.
Blue means NOBODY loses. It goes to show how so many people would gladly pick something that benefits themselves at the loss of others over the SAME benefit to everyone, including themselves. For many reasons, distrust your fellow man will make the same choice, "I got mine" mentality, or just instinctual self preservation, etc..
Its a social morality experiment, there is no "right answer" but what you pick says alot about you.

@LabOfDexter1 @David_Rguez05 @bunburyoudoujp @my_2cents__ There are situations where there is no value in working together though.
We could take all the collective humans of a single blood type and have them work together in exanguinating themselves and combining and transfusing their blood back.
But why would they?
English
@NotSure15933706 @David_Rguez05 @bunburyoudoujp @my_2cents__ The simple fact that you projected the selfish intent onto me. A person that picks blue puts THEMSELVES at risk for the sake of no human lives lost because we know humans are supposed to work together. The save yourself mentality is for the weak and they do not last long.
English
Congrats blue voters. We’ve saved EVERYONE unselfishly and unanimously. Even the stupid red voters
MrBeast@MrBeast
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
@LabOfDexter1 @David_Rguez05 @bunburyoudoujp @my_2cents__ Be responsible for your own safety.
Don't endanger yourself unnecessarily.
English
@NotSure15933706 @David_Rguez05 @bunburyoudoujp @my_2cents__ Self sufficiency is an ENTIRELY different concept. Wtf are you even talking about
English
@DiegoZyth If in practice, red is most likely to win, it makes no sense to vote blue then.
Not for yourself, but for the greater picture of saving the most people.
English
in theory blue should win, in practice red will most likely win
If it’s a public group vote I do blue if it’s a private solo vote I do red
I will not come back to this
English
“If literally everyone picks red, everyone lives.” Ummm hey I don’t know if one of us is misreading the prompt, but would everyone pushing blue also guarantee survival for everyone ? Hell it doesn’t even have to be everyone, just more than half. Isn’t getting 51% easier than 100?
English
@DiegoZyth Depends on your goal:
"Act in a way that is most likely to save 100% of people", vote blue.
"Act in a way that will save the highest number of people", vote red.
Red is risk mitigation.
English
@LabOfDexter1 @David_Rguez05 @bunburyoudoujp @my_2cents__ As a red, it's not the fact that I want to be selfish or that I don't think others are worth saving. It's the simplicity of the ability to save yourself.
Self sufficiency is a virtue and putting yourself in harms way so that others have to risk themselves to save you is selfish.
English
@David_Rguez05 @NotSure15933706 @bunburyoudoujp @my_2cents__ If this is about cowardice, that’d be red button pressers since they only save themselves . Most rational thinkers are going with blue because as a human with a soul I’d rather us all live. And id never wanna be stuck on this earth with the red pressers

@holyterra69 @Point_Broken @ObviousRises Sure, but possibly different standards for what intent to distribute means or amount required for an arrest.

For the actual love of God.
This is my last post for tonight.
Literally nobody ever for any reason move to the UK.

@holyterra69 @Point_Broken @ObviousRises US law likely is different than UK regarding artists depiction vs actual photo/video.

@Point_Broken @ObviousRises Why wasn't she arrested in the US then if it was CP

@DangeN00dle @HilldurG That's not a statistical conclusion. It's an arithmatic one.
Statistics would require samples. For example, a comparison of polls with increasing stakes, say blue votes cost increasing amounts of money, refundable if blue wins.
English
@HilldurG Yes and if 50% +1 press blue everyone also lives.
So statistically speaking. It's significantly easier to get everyone safe by going blue as the threshold is half of red.
English
Here's a different way to approach it.
Forget morals and all, just think about logistic
Best case scenario for everyone to survive
Red = 100% votes
Blue = 50%+1 votes
Which one is easier to achieve from a logistical standpoint?

English
@DangeN00dle Best case isn't necessarily the most likely.
Say for sake of argument that >50% blue is unreachable.
"Best case" is then maximum red.
English
@SealWithATuxedo @YuletideFrost I think it's far more likely to have a red majority.
Given the chance, more people will refuse to play Russian roulette than play but have 1 out of an unknown number of cartridges removed.
English
@NotSure15933706 @YuletideFrost i wouldnt. its still statistically improbable everyone to pick red, which is why ill still pick blue.
lets assume there are 8 billion people alive right now.
even if 99% of people choose red, 80 MILLION people die. and we all know its still not going to be such a high percentage
English
blue becomes lethal only bc of the red button's clause
Aleksi Liimatainen@aleksil79
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
English
@notsoErudite Does your answer change if only people capable of higher reasoning participated?
English
Since everyone was very curious my answer, my answer is obviously blue.
Gotta save the naive, the kids, the blue lovers, and the principally hope-pilled people.
You red button pickers need therapy.

How do I stop Twitter sharing all these people talking about the blue/red button problem. It's driving me crazy.
I'm a parent of a toddler, so ofc I will always pick blue because my kid won't know the difference and will likely go with the colour she likes more (blue).
I don't judge or blame you for going red. But I don't care enough to see 100s of people trying to justify it by telling me how stupid I am.
English
@SealWithATuxedo @YuletideFrost Would you change your answer if instead only people capable of reasoning were voting? If not, I don't see what you're arguing about.
English
@NotSure15933706 @YuletideFrost thats once again changing the question because the question was if EVERYONE was taken into a room. and there people that arent kids and babies who would be considered incapable of reasoning. people with personality disorders and depressed/suicidal people for example
English
@hellofamil73975 Because pressing a button is so simple, it's more like we're just standing on it, and could either simply walk off or stay put.
Tying anything down complicates things.
English
no it's more like everyone is tied to the track, if you press the red button you untie yourself and nobody else, but if 50% of the people on the track press the blue button everyone is untied? not the same but closer i think - it matches the collective help thing
