The best way to piss off both the “blue because I’m a good person” and “red because I’m a smart person” crowds is to explain that you’re a “red because I’m a coward” person

Suddenly standing alone in the room, I begin by imagining humanity banding together and blue winning in a landslide, and I feel a rush of pride. Red is the genocide button. Blue is the “save humanity from this nightmare” button. I know what kind of person I am. As my hand hovers over the blue button, I can’t help but imagine a gun pointing at my head with a bullet in one of the chambers. I feel a surge of fear shoot through my body. Then I think about all the other people staring at the blue button and thinking the same thing. Surely some of those who initially decided to press blue will succumb to the fear. It starts to feel like a gun with two loaded chambers. A stronger pulse of terror. The more I think about it, the more I worry about other people thinking about it. My heart races. Then I look at the red button—a gun with no bullets in it. A glorious feeling of relief washes over me. Will I hate myself forever if blue wins because enough others were better and braver than me? But don’t I owe it to my family to protect myself? One vote won’t change anything anyway, right? It’s all irrelevant because the mammal I live in has already made up its mind. I wince and press red.

@Rickxboy2 @Jooneefin @justalexoki No, he would have told people to pick red. That’s like saying Jesus would have stood in front of a train in case someone might need help I stead of waiting on the ledge like everyone.

@Jooneefin @Rickxboy2 @justalexoki your answer either condemns millions of people to death or goes "everyone will magically do the perfectly logical thing of following my ideas"
that's pretty commie thinking

@Rickxboy2 @justalexoki no, however some people would die for a savior complex

@justalexoki Everyone should chose red. All your loved one chose blue.

Groups where RED wins, most probably aren't able to cooperate to do anything productive
They probably can't return the shopping cart to it's place either

New Trolley problem has arrived, only it's dumber. Pres Red - 100% chance of living. Blue - Non-zero chance of dying. It has nothing to do with empathy for others unless you're stuck on suicidal empathy, which is YOUR fault, not mine. There is ZERO logical reason for ANYONE to press blue. NONE.

@frankdedomiseur Trump a de multiples conseillers financiers provenant de toutes les Universités les plus prestigieuses. Chorney a écrit un livre qui est rempli de valeurs technocrates, marxistes et environmentalistes. Il dit même que toutes les entreprises doit travailler pour le gouvernement.

En tout respect, ça reste que tous les experts qui venaient répéter qu’il n’y aurait pas d’inflation se sont plantés. Est-ce si difficile de l’admettre et de faire preuve d’un peu d’humilité plutôt que de dire “mon diplôme est plus gros que le tien” ?
Marc Lévesque@MarcLevesqueEco
The arrogance on display here is mind-boggling — yet another example of his anti-expertise, anti-education discourse. By the way, inflation WAS in negative territory when the BoC decided to do QE. I would love to know what he thinks would have happened had the BoC done nothing.

Bold of you to assume we don’t sleep naked in hopes of this very scenario happening
