My wife is trying to kill me!

@solastrove @Chimptistic @1_n0el @waitbutwhy You learned the wrong lesson, then. Being only in your 20's you still have plenty of time to correct that, thankfully. Because if you don't, and you continue in whatever profession you're in, you aren't going to get to actually help many people at all.

@MajGenKenobi @Chimptistic @1_n0el @waitbutwhy As someone who's actually spent the majority of their life what's best for others -at risk of their own life- I learned that the point is not how useful you are but why you do what you do. it is not stupid to trust humanity, if that hope loses there's no point living st all

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?

@Rafael87115565 @Gilbert__Gumbo @1_n0el @waitbutwhy It doesn't, though. The red option provides 100%, unequivocal, guaranteed survival for anyone who selects it. The blue option is a straight up gamble on at least 51% also choosing blue. And foolishly gambling with your life is always a bad choice.

@MajGenKenobi @Gilbert__Gumbo @1_n0el @waitbutwhy It is how this hypothetical works however, as the red option being the majority is what causes the deaths on the blue side

@ZakMndebele @MuggsMcRatmin @marxseventh @1_n0el @waitbutwhy It's also idiotic, since you could've just pressed red from the outset, just as everyone else could've. But, apparently you really wanted to hold out to look as heroic as possible. Narcissist, much?

@MajGenKenobi @MuggsMcRatmin @marxseventh @1_n0el @waitbutwhy Very true, but I would vote blue if I knew I had the tiebreaking vote and would thereby ensure that everyone survived.

@ZakMndebele @MuggsMcRatmin @marxseventh @1_n0el @waitbutwhy Of course, that would also mean that you would have to know with 100% certainty that you were the very last person to vote. And know the results prior to voting.

@ZakMndebele @MuggsMcRatmin @marxseventh @1_n0el @waitbutwhy That's not a gamble, at that point. That is, literally, the only time pressing blue makes any sense at all.

@rist9 @1_n0el @waitbutwhy YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red is prioritizing responsibility for your own self first. Blue is assuming there will be people who don't, thus creating a need for them to be saved by the collective. A situation they themselves created by ignoring the need to care for one self first. If all people took more responsibility for their own selves, nobody would need to even think about pressing blue.

@Rafael87115565 @Gilbert__Gumbo @1_n0el @waitbutwhy That's not how suicide works. And no one can come to save you, if they're dead.

@Gilbert__Gumbo @1_n0el @waitbutwhy They are if the other choice is to continue to save the rest

@solastrove @Chimptistic @1_n0el @waitbutwhy Hey, bro, as someone who's *actually* spent the majority of their life doing what's best for others - at risk of their own life - you learn real fast that needlessly risking your life doesn't end up letting you save anyone, if you're dead.

@Chimptistic @1_n0el @waitbutwhy Bro thinks he's a philosopher Listen pal, life is quite simple actually, we want to do what's best for others because it feels good, simply that, maybe helping everyone survive is just cooler than whatever you think your individualism will get you

@Crombusjibulon @Chimptistic @1_n0el @waitbutwhy Because there's literally no other reason to vote blue. None. It's like being given the option to play Russian roulette, or just walk away no questions asked. Only a moron would choose Russian roulette, right? Well, how about if that decision was based on half of everyone?

@Chimptistic @1_n0el @waitbutwhy Why do you assume people are looking for a boost in confidence from a random, no way to confirm, vote? There is no way to verify that anyone in particular voted blue. Im genuinely asking why you assume people doing the good thing means they are trying to be smug?

@Chimptistic @1_n0el @waitbutwhy Hey! Somebody gets it!!

@1_n0el @waitbutwhy Everyone has a choice: R Definitely live B Maybe live Nobody is forcing anyone to pick B The only benefit of B, if enough join you, is the smug pleasure of virtue signalling Meanwhile, R players, know playing Russian Roulette is fucking stupid

@ZakMndebele @MuggsMcRatmin @marxseventh @1_n0el @waitbutwhy There's no downside to voting red, regardless, though. Voting red is guaranteed survival. It's the only reasonable, intelligent choice. Voting blue in the *hopes* >50% also do, is a foolish gamble.

@MuggsMcRatmin @marxseventh @1_n0el @waitbutwhy If everyone votes blue, there is no downside to voting red. If nobody votes blue, there is no downside to voting red. The only scenario in which voting blue is superior is if you are casting the single deciding vote, which is by far the least plausible.

@MuggsMcRatmin @marxseventh @1_n0el @waitbutwhy There's actually a day greater probability for everyone to survive by simply pressing the red button. This guarantees their survival. 100% is, in fact, a higher probability than anything less. It doesn't really on anyone else's choices. It's the only intelligent option.

@marxseventh @1_n0el @waitbutwhy Their is a greater probability for everyone I care about to survive this event if a majority of us push blue as we can't coordinate before hand, since we don't know how anyone else voted and we just need a simple majority for blue, due is the obvious choice

@demondragongod @Donnandry @marxseventh @1_n0el @waitbutwhy "But also, you totally don't have to. You can choose to simply walk away, with zero impact to you. However, if you do choose the gun, at least 51% of everyone else also have to. Or you'll be executed."

@Donnandry @marxseventh @1_n0el @waitbutwhy "put a potentially loaded gun in your mouth and pull the trigger because other people are doing it because they cant understand basic common sense of outcomes and think they are saving people when they are the ones who are now in need of saving"

This is obviously super old footage. But i see modern day shit like this all the time. If you attend a self-defense (non-firearms related) seminar and they teach you anything other than how to break contact and fucking run, that instructor is doing you a huge disservice. There is absolutely nothing about fighting you can become proficient at in a 6-hour seminar at the YMCA, and pretending otherwise gives people a false sense of confidence that will more than likely get them severely hurt.

@IacovelliRich @DonutOperator I thought the drop ships were WWXV? I could definitely be wrong, though. There's been so many! Regardless, those drop ships were horrible!

@DonutOperator is that like world war Z?? Oh ya that is when we fought the aliens from Mars, i hated there drop ships....

World War 11. Bro.

@Sav_town_hound @DonutOperator Well, Minnesotans, so I'm not sure I'd necessarily call them "people."

@DonutOperator People voted for that idiot

@fridgeintern @DonutOperator All thanks to the 1911...

@DonutOperator And we're still undefeated. USA! USA!

@TheMidwestVet @DonutOperator They were super boring, you didn't miss much.

@DonutOperator Did I sleep through the other 9?

@MaJiKPfix @DonutOperator Oh shit, I forgot about VIII! Good call!! That one was pretty sweet!

Legit spit out my drink. How is that retard a real person who other human beings voted into office? Also everyone knows "World War 8: This Time It's Personal, Germany!" Was the best World War of all time. Fuckin Majin Buu even showed up in his ultimate form and Goku had to go Super Sayian 4 just to get him to chill.
