Fighting for global truth and justice, via the y-axis.



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?














This is probably the most impressive athletic feat ever Averaging a 4 minute mile for 26 straight miles should not be possible

I just feel like the choice is between keeping all the stupid people who mean well and have loving hearts alive or staying alive with the higher iq but now there’s a higher percentage of selfish people too










This is quite extraordinary. Peter doesn't understand the pay-off matrix. Many people in the replies have tried to explain the pay-off matrix. He doesn't understand it: "The entire red case is predicated on a red majority." No, Peter. The entire blue case is predicated on a blue majority. If you choose blue, and you find yourself in a blue minority, you die. If you choose red, you live - no matter what anyone else chooses. "But blue is winning. So it's not dumb." Yes, Peter, it's very dumb. You are gambling your life on the majority of your fellow citizens being as inept as you are at understanding a simple 2x2 pay-off matrix. It's like having two cups of water, one of which you know contains arsenic, and an arsenic test kit. Instead of using the test kit, you decide to drink one to find out whether it has arsenic. And then you insist that since you didn't die, it wasn't a dumb thing to do! For the love of God, can as many people as possible follow the link back to the original poll and vote "red" - Peter needs this one to play out both ways. x.com/waitbutwhy/sta…
