No.
If you go Red, you are responsible for any deaths caused by Red, especially since you were told that this result could kill people.
It doesn’t matter if you thought those deaths were unlikely, or you weren’t the deciding vote. You’re still voting for murder.
Deal with it.
Paul Uponi@DrUpauli
There's good reasons to chose either of them, but can we PLEASE stop saying that people who chose red are guilty of mass murder? That is genuinely the most absurd thing I've heard in a long time and fails ethics 101

@Jake85468201 @doxntme Im not going to gamble myself or my families lives over someone else’s decision. That would be unethical. The only person without a soul would be whoever put this sick hypothetical game in place.
English
@Zanzuhbar @doxntme I'd choose blue to save to 100 kids that chose blue because they weren't able to understand the question. Proves I have a soul and you dont

What is it with red button pushers rewriting the question, like you're presenting an entirely different scenario

Dumbest fucking hypothetical ever posted
English
@gummywormpalace @DatGuy297789 Lets assume that you are not allowed to know how the previous person voted.
If you vote red: you create only risk for others, possibly.
If you vote blue: you absolutely create risk for everyone including yourself.
More risk is created by a blue voter in every scenario.
English
@gummywormpalace @DatGuy297789 If the second person chooses blue, they have now created risk for themselves and future voters.
In the scenario where the first voter chooses red: only a blue voter can create any risk.
Obviously in the new scenario where the 1st voter chooses blue, the blue voter creates risk.
English
The only people responsible for any death in the button scenario are the people who pick red you fucking idiot.

The whole blue and red button drama is basically this summarized If everyone clicked red, nobody would die. Those that click blue have suicidal empathy
English
@psilocyber67 I dont believe its ethical to choose blue which is relying on complete strangers to *possibly save my wife and children 😂 The ethical choice would be for me and family to choose red. It would be unethical to gamble my families lives.

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.

@RainningDeath Not even remotely relatable to the prompt. Try again.

@Zanzuhbar My IRL job has me building facilities that go on to protect and save lives but also carries a higher then normal mortality rate
By your logic I'm an idiot for choosing to to do this
For reference the longer I'm in my field the higher the percentage gets
English
I will pick Blue every single time and not just because this includes "EVERYONE" but because if 1% vote blue and I vote red I'm partially responsible for 80 million deaths
I would rather pick blue and have a guaranteed 0 deaths on my hands, I've seen how one can change people

@Big_lundi Blue: You may die.
Red: You have no chance of dying.
If you are too stupid to understand this, you deserve your fate.
Only a blue voter who chooses chance of death over certain life is the bad person. This is a very elementary level concept.
English
See we blue button pushers knew that was a part of the test because we know what "everyone" means. Man you red pushers really like talking about how objectively brilliant and smart you are for your choice while being the dumbest people in the world.

Empathy was never a part of it until someone asked if children, disabled, and people unable to understand the question was involved. A good portion didn't even see that because it wasn't part of the original test.

Blue button pickers are morally superior to red button pickers.

Iceberg@IcebergActual
I’ve noticed that the blue button pickers all have this sort of animosity and vitriol towards the people who choose red. A self-righteous moral posturing that implies they are better than you, while claiming to be more virtuous. Almost synonymous with today’s politics.

Blue:
Easiest win goal, 51% and everyone is golden.
49% room for misalignment, not everyone has to get it. Huge error catch all.
Blue is not opposition when you vote with them, they are teammates.
Red:
You for sure wont die.
Alot of your frens and other innocents might.

Because we value human life, and are willing to risk death to avoid harming others. It's called self-sacrificial love. Try it sometime.

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

This is a test of selfishness and lack of care for others.
If you puck blue, you want everyone to live.
If you pick red, you dont care that people who picked blue die.
There is no other way to argue this. Statistically you cant get more than like 70% of people to agree on almost anything, so picking red, youre ok with wiping out like 30%+ of people.
Its easy to make that choice when you don't know who the 30% is. This shows a lack of empathy, and forethought, because surely you will have some family members, your mom, brother, niece, etc that pick blue, and had you known that consequence beforehand, you would have chosen different.
This sort of experiment seems benign, but its a glimpse at how the 45% or so of people actually feel about the 55% that chose correctly.
They will sell you down the river quick if they dont know you personally, but then play ignorant/stupid when the consequences hit them personally.

I don't care if I die pressing the blue button, I don't want to live in the post-red button hellscape anyways
