@John1rb @Phi1lySpecial @LuigiPatitucci1 @Jay_BZ27 @YourBudTevin Barely half of Americans offer to donate organs after they are already dead.

I’ve seen like 800 tweets about this but my simple way of thinking is: If you choose blue, you don’t want anyone to die. It is impossible for anyone to die if you press blue. If you choose red, you are afraid of others choosing red. The only way anyone dies at all is if you choose red. When I read this, I actually don’t think about myself. I think about hurting the least amount of people. So I pick blue.

@BigfryTV @JoshStrifeHayes There was another post that said that babies and blind people (i guess the buttons don have brail) would pick blue a lot so they want to save them. That was not included in the original hypothetical though and seems dubious.

I saw @JoshStrifeHayes talking about this on my timeline and had to look up what it was about. Who the hell would push Blue?

@ShadowC5 @YourBudTevin Interesting. The benefit of a hypothetical is to create a premise and not a concrete situation. The hypothetical clearly indicates that everyone would be capable of making the choice, while the situation would not.

@Anonymous158746 @YourBudTevin In other words, I agree that your logic is valid given subjective value. The issue wasn't in the logic, itself, but in the completeness of the premise and consideration of all facts. Your logic works for the set of people that you consider, but does not for those that weren't.

@Artankhos @SilbZero @YourBudTevin Red wins the moment the button is pressed. The goal is survival. That is accomplished regardless of how many select blue. The danger comes from the situation that created the buttons, the third party. Mis attributing motive to red pressers and ignoring blues risk is wrong.

@SilbZero @YourBudTevin @Anonymous158746 People die only if red wins. You increase the possibilities of a red win when you press red. It's that simple man. People press blue because they don't want to increase the possibilities of people dying.

@Kevin72138988 @ElonBachman 95% of Americans support organ donation. 60% of Americans are organ donors. And that is significantly less risk than this hypothetical. These people who are arguing with us are mostly liars.

@ElonBachman exactly, it's completely 0-risk to say you will die a fake death on the internet in reality, kidney donors are extremely rare, so are people who go to africa to feed starving children this is why these retards jump at the chance to be the imaginary jesus christ of the internet

One way to know that few people would press the Blue Button for real stakes is that the world is already full of collective action problems that approximately nobody steps up to solve. E.g. only a tiny minority of bystanders bum-rush the average hijacker or mass shooter.

@theramblingfool It took bluttonoids a while to come up with a scenario that somehow transfers the consequences of their choice onto someone else. But it ignores the third party, the person who created the scenario, the outside danger. Instead their sense of victim complex demands blaming reds.

I've gone through great lengths to emphasize changing the hypo changes the hypo. So I'll emphasize: your answer does not have to be the same. But this is a good cousin of the original moving more towards actual possible scenarios, and I wonder how many reds change to blue here.

@BritishTaiga @ShitpostRock2 The people who belief we dont live in a high trust society... dont trust the society. Right.

>Press Red you are guaranteed to survive no matter what >Press Blue you are at the mercy of the rest of the world also pressing it Nothing is forcing anyone to press blue and anyone who says they would press blue is trying to farm browniepoints and virtue signal

@realsydroc @DrClownPhD How desperate are 6ou to virtue signal good lord man.

@DrClownPhD Even if one person pressed blue, everyone else who pressed red would bear responsibility for that one death.

It’s crazy to me that people pushing blue are still trying to protect their ego by coming up with every possible scenario to justify their point. They’re wrong. It’s that simple. There isn’t even an argument to be made. In a real scenario, anyone who presses blue will die, even if your kids or your spouse press it. You have a choice: go to heaven with them or stay here on Earth. But let’s be real, there’s no universe where 50% of the planet presses blue.

@RhyminCarly @theblessedsalt Two decisions, one guaranteed survival and one that requires 50% of everyone to do for survival. Even gives you the benefit by allowing coordination, the original was supposed to be blind. Only difference now is the method of death is made explicit.

@theblessedsalt It's incredible to me how many people in this world are truly unable to recognize bad analogies when they see them. How could anyone not see the difference between the "meat grinder" thing and the actual dilemma? It's all so tiresome.

I think the Team Red people are just pretending not to get it at this point.

@CollAlfeiran @theblessedsalt Mostly when we see real world examples, most people who call for collective solutions find some way to explain why they personally dont need to be part of it. Not in my back yard. Lock downs for you, parties for me. Etc etc.

@theblessedsalt What color is the button to stop talking about this? Both sides have given their arguments. People have different ways to interpret a HYPOTHETICAL. None of us KNOW what button we would actually press. Reds are not evil. Blues are not stupid.

@theblessedsalt I think I understand bluttonoids quite a bit.

@Mankosmash Everyone wants a collective solution to problems, until they actually need to put skin in the game. Then it should be done but, "Not In My Back Yard. The billionaires should pay for it! Or the government. Or everyone, anyone else. But not me. But im a good person :^)"

If every person with capacity (🙄) was teleported into a private room right now and explained the experiment & had to press 🔴 or 🔵, 95% to 99% would press 🔴. If you don't understand that, you don't understand people or human nature. 🔵 advocates think they can save that tiny group of 🔵tards by wagering everyone else's lives & calling for collective action. But asking people with enough common sense & rationality to press 🔴, to instead vote to likely kill themselves by pressing 🔵 for abstract strangers because "we're all in it together guys! If we band together like communists & all throw rational self interest to the wind, we can accomplish anything!" is not going to be very convincing. Instead of saving everyone, the far more likely outcome is that you'd just get more people killed. Maximizing 🔵 is horrific unless you can guarantee 🔵 breaks 50%. Can you do that when even the polls barely do it & 🔵 is a far more likely answer in a poll (zero stakes & it signals "virtue") while most 🔵 pollers would switch to 🔴 when you made them genuinely fear death? COVID. Remember COVID? Where all the libs screamed for collective authoritarianism in public, then all cheated in private? Where the libs called for lockdowns, then they kept having private social gatherings that they knew they shouldn't be doing, but they were bored and wanted to socialize? So when the stakes were just "being bored" the 🔵 button pushers couldn't practice what they preached & pressed 🔴 in private, but you think that when the stakes are DEATH, they would press 🔵? 🤣 All you MFers are pressing 🔴 once your self preservation instincts kick in. Even if you think it makes you a "bad person". Even if it triggers guilt and shame, which it wouldn't for the vast majority of 🔵tards because they're consciously aware that what they're doing in public is just virtue signaling. But even for the "true believers", the large majority are pushing 🔴. I've been playing online video games my whole adult life. Most of these games have team based objectives. Every time a game creates an incentive structure where a player can defect against his team and not "play the objective" for selfish reasons, the vast majority of players do exactly that. It's human nature. It's evolutionary. It's genetic. The humans who were 🔵 throughout history died off & the 🔴 survived. We are almost all reds 🔴. This is true as a rule throughout society and throughout history unless there is a constructed reputational incentive structure that counteracts it. Which there would never be in an anonymous vote. That only leaves collectivism as a reason to push 🔵. 🐜🧠. Good luck if you think that's within human nature. Every commune attempt has always failed because it's abhorrent to human nature. Communism always immediately has to resort to coercion & force because it is impossible to convince people to choose to operate as a collective. That's why 🔵tards have to try to rig the game by including babies so they can have hostages to coerce you to vote 🔵. A tiny number of irrational 🐜🧠 would be the only real 🔵 pressers, & even then most of them know better than to think they could ever make it to 50% if they were being honest with themselves, which they would be if the stakes were life or death.

@uubzu Any amount would be rational, but as bluttonoids have shown, people are not strictly speaking rational. 400k is too much money to give away for a chance at another few 100k

You are playing the ultimatum game (see replies) for one million dollars. You are paired up with a guy wearing a shirt which says I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD ON THE LIVES OF MY CHILDREN I WILL REJECT THE DEAL UNLESS IT’S 60/40 IN MY FAVOR. PLEASE DO NOT TEST ME Your offer is:

@SpeakSamuel Why the he'll are temporary visa workers staying here for 20 years!? Outrageous. The program needs gutted!

This H-1B worker has lived in the US for nearly 20 years and built a family here. His mom was dying in India. To visit her, he would need to wait months to book a consular appointment--with the soonest one available likely being scheduled one year out. He made the difficult choice of not visiting his dying mom because leaving without an appointment would mean separation from his children, job, and his other obligations. Much of the commentary around immigration focuses on how such bureaucratic burdens undermine immigrants’ ability to contribute and innovate. But we must remember that this red tape also prevents these people from being fully engaged with their own lives and meaningfully present in the lives of others. This matters too, and these seemingly non-economic problems will eventually translate into economic costs. If America is no longer a place where people feel empowered to be the best versions of themselves as they celebrate, struggle, and grieve, it ceases not just being the land of opportunity, but also the land of dignity and purpose. linkedin.com/posts/gautam-d…

@hoshizorarock How about a cake made of cheese?

@LuigiPatitucci1 @Jay_BZ27 @YourBudTevin Ooh man. Don't play with firearms if that's what you think.

@Anonymous158746 @Jay_BZ27 @YourBudTevin You, since the gun is empty until you load it (by pressing red)

@LuigiPatitucci1 @Jay_BZ27 @YourBudTevin And in this scenario the disagreement is whether you want to gamble your life. You play Russian roulette, I hand you the gun. Who is at fault if you pull the trigger and lose?

@Jay_BZ27 @YourBudTevin @Anonymous158746 Red is literally the "kill the people who don't agree with me" button
