@mikethree You're drifting off into some strange little fantasies now, each one feeding off the last. Log off before it's too late for you.

blue button pressers are bent out of shape because their lives literally depend on convincing everyone else to think like they do and press the button they need them to press if they could they would force you to press the blue button at gunpoint and kill you if you refused

@johnpalmer Rationality is a quality of a process rather than an answer, and given certain assumptions either choice can be arrived at rationally. As to your question - I'm a hardliner, and your failure to understand these basics indicates irrationally. Ergo, I believe you must die.

- 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?

Everyone is presented with two buttons, and must choose one: If you press Red, nothing happens. If you press Blue, you die, unless more than half of people also pressed Blue, in which case nothing happens. What do you choose?

@bjack129903 @AdamJSchwarz Trump showed he's an arse. Handshakes are a brief signal of mutual respect. If you use handshakes to try to play some idiotic little power game, you're just giving away that you're the sort of person who for some reason needs to do that.

@AdamJSchwarz Trump’s handshake is pure alpha energy, Charles just exposed how weak the old monarchy really is. 🔥

Trump is trying his toxic beta-male handshake, and Charles is having absolutely none of it.

@realTomBayes @SDJ74502311 Then your parents needs to intervene to stop you embarrassing yourself any further. (At least people are likely to be more forgiving about this in a few years' time!)

FTX is in the middle of a brutal bank run. John Ray files Chapter 11. Ten minutes later, the final funding commitment arrives — enough to cover the entire shortfall. The bankruptcy can’t be undone. Three years on: 98% of customers repaid in full, with 20% interest. The money was never stolen. It was temporarily illiquid during a bank run, the same condition that collapsed Silicon Valley Bank in 2023.

@realTomBayes He literally borrowed money illegally from his customers and committed bank fraud to make his investments. When you give money to a bank you give them the right to loan out your money. FTX's agreement lied about insurance for the money, and lied about not borrowing your money.

@GaiusF23 @ClarkeMicah "Basically no people". I guess it doesn't have a huge population, but the number of people in Argentina who have any personal connection or moral claim to any part of the islands is precisely zero.

@ClarkeMicah Nope, Las Malvinas are a British colony, thus an imperial possession. Las Malvinas are not different than Puerto Rico, a colony of the United States, but Las Malvinas has basically no people living there.

@axismakesperfec @gfodor Ah, there is nothing benevolent about your ideation there. It's pure evil. Good to know we don't want to let you have it...or any sort of actual responsibility. I wouldn't trust you to manage a dipstick in an outhouse on this note.

The beauty of the thought exercise is that by the end of this the only possible physical harm that comes to anyone is a blue voter physically assaulting a red voter

@DellAnnaLuca "I want to choose red. I therefore believe other people must really want to choose red." Classic red voter.

People are posting the results of a 58/42 poll as evidence most people would choose blue. But once we factor in that people act differently when their life is actually on the line, that’s for me evidence that red is the choice that maximizes lives saved.

@BobMurphyEcon I'd be more likely to pick red for my kids, but I'm not pretending that would be altruism. It's closer to that guy who was keen to kill a load of monkeys for his kids. (If he sucked them off, that would be altruism.)

To show this isn’t altruism versus selfishness: suppose parents are required to push the button on behalf of their children who are 5 or younger. Which button do you push on their behalf?

@axismakesperfec @questionableway "It's not dominant if you [morality unrelated]." There is literally no downside to pressing red. At all. None. If you still pick blue, that's on you.

@JMilei Funny how often it is that you scratch the surface of an Argentinian and underneath find a 16th century Spanish colonialist.

LAS MALVINAS FUERON, SON Y SIEMPRE SERÁN ARGENTINAS. VLLC!
Pablo Quirno@pabloquirno

Ante las recientes declaraciones públicas de altos funcionarios del Gobierno del Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte respecto de la soberanía sobre las Islas Malvinas, la Argentina reafirma sus derechos soberanos sobre las Islas Malvinas, Georgias del Sur y Sandwich del Sur y los espacios marítimos circundantes. La ocupación de 1833 fue un acto de fuerza contrario al derecho internacional de la época que vulneró nuestra integridad territorial y dio inicio a una situación colonial que persiste. La Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas reconoció mediante la Resolución 2065 (XX) la existencia de una disputa de soberanía e instó a la Argentina y al Reino Unido a resolverla por la vía de las negociaciones bilaterales. Este llamado ha sido reiterado por numerosos pronunciamientos bilaterales y multilaterales, entre los que se destacan el Comité Especial de Descolonización de las Naciones Unidas (C24), la Organización de los Estados Americanos (OEA), el Mercado Común del Sur (MERCOSUR) y sus Estados Asociados, la Comunidad de Estados Latinoamericanos y Caribeños (CELAC), los países miembros del Consenso de Brasilia y del Grupo de los 77 y China. Rechazamos la invocación británica del principio de libre determinación de los pueblos. Los actuales habitantes de las Islas Malvinas no han sido nunca reconocidos como un "pueblo" por las Naciones Unidas. No resulta aceptable que los habitantes de las islas se conviertan en árbitros de una disputa territorial en la que su propio país, como población implantada, es parte. Por ello tampoco tiene validez el pretendido “referéndum” de 2013. Denunciamos además las actividades ilegales de exploración y explotación de recursos naturales -tanto renovables como no renovables-, en particular la pretendida “Decisión Final de Inversión” anunciada por las ilegítimas licenciatarias Rockhopper Exploration Plc y Navitas Petroleum Lp, para el desarrollo del yacimiento “Sea Lion”, que buscan desconocer los derechos soberanos argentinos y violan resoluciones de las Naciones Unidas. Por todos los elementos señalados, la República Argentina manifiesta, una vez más, su disposición a reanudar las negociaciones bilaterales con el Reino Unido que permitan encontrar una solución pacífica y definitiva a la disputa de soberanía y dar fin a la situación colonial especial y particular en las que están inmersas y agradece a toda la comunidad internacional el apoyo recibido a los derechos soberanos argentinos sobre las Islas Malvinas, Georgias del Sur y Sandwich del Sur y los espacios marítimos circundantes. Por historia, por derecho y por convicción: las Malvinas son argentinas.

@kbootses @questionableway It isn't dominant at all, unless you are not concerned about *anyone* else's survival. (Which everyone is, hence it isn't dominant.)

@MusingTiger @peterrhague Did your explicitly tell your AI to rim you in every response, or is it just doing that by default? (Good idea to tell it not to do that via your custom instructions, for the sake of your own sanity. It does work.)

@peterrhague Someone discovered an exploit for most of humanity and I pray no one with the motivation to use it discovers how. Continued from the conversation in my previous comment:
