@dedosdeceniza @babibobulo @grok @doxntme You could put a fking gate in front of the tracks and once you vote you pass through. And based on your vote you either go with the reds or go and tie urself to the tracks like a retard. Lol

@ad64701 @babibobulo @grok @doxntme it isnt private if you're literally next to the tracks though. if you push it, you have to get on and people will see you. assuming the buttons are literally next to the tracks obviously.

What is it with red button pushers rewriting the question, like you're presenting an entirely different scenario
Rock Solid@ShitpostRock2
Dumbest fucking hypothetical ever posted
English
@dedosdeceniza @babibobulo @grok @doxntme Imagine being first with empty tracks and you press blue. Then call reds evil for not saving you. Lmfao
English
@dedosdeceniza @babibobulo @grok @doxntme You are pressing red (which is the right choice btw) but for the wrong reasons, in a perfect world blue is the way to go, white countries are poised for blue, but the world is sht and you have to pick red otherwise you die to africans and indians.
English
@babibobulo @grok @doxntme @ad64701 can we be honest here for a second? we are both pressing red because we don't want to die. we don't need to debate it with strangers over the internet who think they are the main character of some mistery thriller button game. if it's live or die, im living. ill be sad about it.
English
@dedosdeceniza @babibobulo @grok @doxntme In both scnarios the votes are private, the trolley one makes it easier to visualise how fking stupid you are for picking blue. That's it.
English
@babibobulo @grok @doxntme @ad64701 differences: one vote is anonymous, so you don't know who did vote what. the other is public, you can see it, you can see the death coming. you don't know if someone you know and cared about pressed blue. if you did see them, you would... save them right???
English
@johnpalmer So you give the upper hand to those who hate you guts, africans for example. Smart man.
English
- If all humans are rational, everyone picks red.
- But we know many humans are not rational
- Therefore, red means 100% survival, but greater chance non-rational humans die
- Blue increases chance all humans live, including non-rational ones
So it just comes down to if you think it’s good for non-rational humans to exist.

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?
English
@CokeLivesMatter Your grasp is shit since you ignore that africa and india will vote red and that leaves you with 60% of the population to get 50%. Rip bozo.
English
anyone with a basic grasp of threat reduction votes blue to give it a majority and make nothing happen
MrBeast@MrBeast
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.
English
This isn't the exact same as the classic trolley problem.
Classic version: One person alone decides whether to pull a lever, diverting the trolley from 5 people to 1 (individual action vs. inaction).
This button version adds a collective 50% threshold + personal risk of "getting on the track." It's a coordination/sacrifice game, not a pure individual ethics dilemma. Different incentives and mechanics.
English
@ad64701 @doxntme @KwaoBuabeng Most retards can see a train and know getting in its way is bad. But if there’s no physical threat, the number of “retards” increase exponentially. Now that we’ve eliminated your false premise, even if the voting was ONLY for functioning adults, you cannot achieve 100% red. EVER.

@ujimatsu__chiya @UTDTomas_ @allwood_isaac @wybeka @MrBeast Ok, how many kidneys do you have? There are kids out there who could use one my guy. Stop being selfish.
English
@ad64701 @UTDTomas_ @allwood_isaac @wybeka @MrBeast calling people stupid does not absolve you from the responsibility of pulling the trigger. you are protecting your ego, not lives. recognize your selfishness.

@hyeiccino @minjigongjunim1 Nobody said the goal is to achieve 100%. Dumbass.
English
@minjigongjunim1 the question is not whether dying or not, its whether k'ing people or not + its literally easier to achieve 51% than a complete 100% which is impossible. ENDDD
English
notice how more than 51% of people voted blue

In real life blue pressers built that bridge
ℏεsam@Hesamation
inventing a sacrifice nobody needs
English
@PavelTheDev So…. Virtue signaling but irl. Imma be real I think a lot of blue voters are genuinely altruistic about it but I know for certain that you are NOT
English
It would be much better if, when blue wins, everyone had their choice marked as a necklace or an unremovable earring.
This way, the world would always know what you chose

@Ashkenazijuice @PavelTheDev They are so selfless they just want to know who isnt so they can help them as well. Bunch of heroes.
English
@PavelTheDev You mean like how the Nazis marked Jews? How tolerant of you
English
@mrpack49 @PavelTheDev They are hyping up a 56% win on twitter with no skin in the game. Yikes.
English
@PavelTheDev Then everyone would just be walking around with a red necklace because if the poll is this close with zero stakes. There is 0% chance blue wins in a real life scenario.
English
@PavelTheDev Why would the emphatic selfless blue voters want this? Could it be just because they are virtue signaling?😂 you morons are hilarious.

People are realising that humanity is a superorganism.
Well... ~57% of them are.

Same percentages as the first one. There is something bigger happening here

@ShipMyMoneyDFS Adam, my 1.5 year old daughter is gonna pick whatever color she wants to pick. Might be red. Might be blue. Just in case, I’d have to pick blue and just hope that enough other people realize that kinda thing and did the same.
English
The actual correct answer to the Red Button v Blue Button is our entire society has a main character complex. Your blue vote ain’t saving a single life.
English
@FinleyFisch So reds are low trust, cool. Is india and africa hight trust? Because they make up 40% of the world. And now you only have the logical choice to make.
English
It really is quite simple, people.
The red button is the logical choice, and objectively the right answer.
(Un)fortunately, people are emotional, not logical. Whether it be guilt, heroics, or whatever - pushing the blue button is the "better" choice.
I too would risk the blue.
