you ask yourself: is this person lying, or telling the truth? but there’s a third option: people who (cringe term alert) gaslight themselves. some people gaslight themselves into thinking something is true, then when they tell it to you, they’re not “lying”. this changed my game.

First world problem: I’m boarding my @Delta flight. Family with kids boarded ahead of me. They’re sitting in the back. I’m 1A. They put 3 bags in the first class overhead. I say excuse me I’m in 1A can you leave me room for my bags and take yours to your seat please? Flight attendant yelled at me and made me put my bag in the middle of the plane. I know it’s petty but If you’re in first class that should be your space.

@CJDGiesen @waitbutwhy No, you understand humanity if you press blue. The good people will all press blue, knowing that the lives of all other good hearted people rely on it. I don't want to live in a world where only the reds survive. That's hell on earth.

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?

@CJDGiesen @waitbutwhy If your demented mother pressed blue by accident you just killed her by being "smart". The logical thing and the right thing aren't always the same

@CJDGiesen @waitbutwhy This is only true if you trust that everyone is pressing Red, which would never happen. People WILL choose Blue, because people aren't colluding, meaning that my vote for Red would contribute to their death.

@CJDGiesen @waitbutwhy What you're missing is the quality of life afterwards. Any scenario where red wins would be apocalyptic. Even if 99% of people pressed red, 83 million people die. Realistically, billions die, leaving only the most selfish ruthless people. I'm not interested in living in Mad Max.

@CJDGiesen @waitbutwhy Children will not make a rational choice based on game theory. Blue wins: Life continues as normal. Red wins: Potentially half the world's children die, leading to societal collapse.

@CJDGiesen @waitbutwhy There will be some folks who press blue, so pressing red has the downside of raising the chance they die. Even assuming that pressing red is rational, being able to call them dumb isn't a benefit. So factoring in that many will press blue, to save them, and all, you go with blue.

@DiffusedStells @CJDGiesen @waitbutwhy i totally get what you're saying. If EVERYONE presses the red button then no one will die and no one needs to be saved. But it's clear that a large chunk will press Blue. That's fact. And, Yes, it's self inflicted. If you vote Blue you're maximizing the chances of them surviving

@CJDGiesen @waitbutwhy If I pressed red I would probably end up killing myself from guilt and shame.

@CJDGiesen @Td7653 @waitbutwhy You might love 10 of those 500 condemned to death. Even the rest of them might be improving your life in some ways right now.

I only ask because someone else told me this and I could have sworn that I looked for it like 10 years ago and couldn't find it. But then I feel like they built it back and also put everything on YouTube. I feel like it was gone for a bit. But maybe I just stopped paying attention 😂

What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today?
