🔴 vs 🔵: 🔴 is the only honest, ethical, rational choice. Unless you can guarantee that over 50% will press blue, you're gambling with the lives of up to half of society just to protect a tiny dumb suicidal minority who would still press blue. Think about this game being run billions of times to see all possible outcomes & probabilities. You'd see a probability curve of vote distribution. Blue causes the loss of life to be 0 until you get to the "blue gets under 50%" part of the probability curve, in which case half of society dies thanks to the blue miscalculation. There's no way to reliably prevent this. So you're not really saving lives, you're just shifting the risk into an all-or-nothing gamble just like at a casino. You're paying for a small "good" outcome by risking a much worse bad outcome. Over the probability curve, Red minimizes loss of life & prevents catastrophic outcomes by accepting the loss of a small group that irrationally chooses blue. If pressing red is normalized, blue becomes a suicide button. The most ethical thing to do is try to minimize people pressing blue. But ultimately individualism over collectivism means it's their responsibility they pressed 🔵, not our obligation to risk our lives to bail them out of their bad choice. Assuming you can lobby before the vote, everyone should say "I'm pressing red, don't press blue". That's the most ethical outcome. The problem with lobbying for blue is that people would lie & advocate others to press blue, then press red. Saying you would press blue 🔵 is an empty liberal collectivist virtue signal. Dishonest people will pick blue 🔵 to lie to themselves & to others that they're a "good person". But if faced with the real choice where they'd have a genuine existential fear of death, the large majority of these people would not be able to suppress their self preservation instinct & would press red 🔴. To be a genuine blue 🔵 presser, you'd have to be highly collectivist. Does any place in the real world look like this? No. MAYBE Japan 🇯🇵. I was disappointed to see that @Asmongold advocated Blue 🔵 & argued that blue is somehow "Western values" while red is 3rd worldism. 🙄 This just goes to show how even right wing people often get infected by libtard beliefs. Blue is a betrayal of the self & your family for the sake of abstract faceless strangers. Blue is choosing the "suicidal empathy" side of the heatmap meme 🥩🥑. Blue is fundamentally deeply dishonest & goes against human nature. It's proudly proclaiming yourself to be an ant 🐜, not a rational human. You're betraying everyone who loves you and depends on you, for what? 🔴 doesn't make you "selfish" & 🔵 isn't virtuous. 🔵 is an irrational betrayal of self preservation as well as your family & friends. 🔵 is communism. 🔵 is 🐜. 🔵s are liars virtue signaling as a rule. 🔴s are honest & able to understand the folly of risking the many to save the few.






If this was how the buttons looked, what portion of humanity would press blue? It'd probably be a large enough number due to mistakes, the young, altruists, etc., such that it remains wise to press blue.



Their instincts aren’t the same as ours
