Zohran Mamdani announces NYC is in a “budget crisis” after spending his entire campaign promising free stuff
English
This representation is so dumb. It completely ignores the objective fact that the trolley doesn't even start moving without the reds collectively starting it.

@JayExci How much better is it than this one and why?
English
@JayExci @Techrev_9999 @Wiiiiiilsooooon @chuchu_hedera Red is abstain. Blue is the dependent variable button. Red is the independent variable. When's the last time you were in school?
English
@Techrev_9999 @Wiiiiiilsooooon @chuchu_hedera Abstain has never been presented as an option in this.
English
@JayExci @DaCullahBlurple The only possible way to die in this scenario is after pressing the blue button. That's the only possible choice that could hurt you.
English
@DaCullahBlurple Yeah no shit, and the only way the buttons can ever kill anyone at all is if more than half push red. That's the whole point. Both these things are true. Congratulations you've discovered the question.

@ohcrapohno Everyone will just breathe and continue to live (red button)

a whole third of reds failing this basic ass question while calling the rest of us retarded for a week straight is just very chefs kiss right wing twitter

Respondents were ~85% male, but of those who were female, ~80% went blue! More interestingly, in total, 61-62% went blue, and, when asked to identify the choice that requires fewer people to save everyone, there was a huge button-partisan gap, equivalent to ~13-14 IQ points!

Fast twitch muscle response and snap decision making are both characteristics of high testosterone typical of males.
Both of which provide an advantage in competitive gaming.
Thorin@Thorin
I'm so bored of people endlessly repeating "there is no biological component to competing in video games so there are no genetic advantages." It's the woke religious dogma of esports. Not only is it not even vaguely true, as experience and observation show, but it's based simply on people's feelings and what they wish was the case.

@TheMightyHams @Intrinsic29 Blue BARELY pulls out ahead with 0 stakes other than social pressure not to press red. In a real life situation, it's life or death and there's no one scolding them for surviving, so red wins in reality.
English
@Intrinsic29 I know you prob asked in bad faith, but here’s 2:
1) blue wins every time the question is asked.
2) Were this real, the stakes of murdering half the world’s infants and toddlers to save yourself would push more people to the ‘everyone lives’ button, not the ‘murder’ button

@Cody5460154679 @4res44444444 Bro if you're driving the car and you hit someone and you know it's going to happen that's murder.
I could also make the same argument. Why risk the chance to kill blue voters when everyone could just press blue and everyone lives?
English
Murder is worse than suicide
spiderking23@spiderking232
You see the red button as Murder. I see the blue button as Suicide. We are not the same.

@GunslingerTX @EthanLevins2 They don't have to enforce rules they didn't make.
English
@EthanLevins2 Really, and how do they plan to enforce it?
Their navy is over 3000 miles away.

Do you understand how big this is?
This is Superpower status.
Current Report@Currentreport1
China says it does not recognize US sanctions on Iranian oil purchases and will not comply with them.
English
What I don't understand is why blue would interfere with free will or others' autonomy or shame people for that.
Chris Pacia@ChrisPacia
The pattern played out like this: - Duh Red is the obvious choice. Nobody dies if everyone pushes red. There's not reason to push blue. - Blue button pusher think they have a bullet proof rebuttal... Some confused or irrational people will push blue. Therefore the knee-jerk red reaction is naive and the true enlightened position is that that you must push blue. Unfortunately, that turns out to be the naive position. Consider the following...
English
@BillaudHPF @hyperdiscogirl Red is pacifism. Blue is the only button with a chance of death.
English
@hyperdiscogirl Even among competent adults there is a, recognized for centuries, cohort of pure pacifists who will refuse red, even to the risk of their life, because they perceive a choice of red as participating in harming another (as 100% red is impossible). They are worth saving. Blue.
English
red/blue button game:
your vote in the scenario where every human must play || your vote if only competent adults play
English
@listentoshabda @ProctorZ Billions of people are not suicidal, so they aren't pressing blue. New scenario btw. Which button do you press now? You're a good guy, right?
English
That is because you and the society have downgraded over time. When you can only see value in self-preservation. You're missing the connection.
It must take a lot of mental gymnastics to convince yourself your life is more important than a few billion other people, who tried to save everyone, including you.
English
I'm late to the whole red & blue button thing but all I can say is that I cannot even grasp the mindset of people who seem to think pressing blue is the sane decision.
English
@ReznovRulz Yeah, super intelligent people love gambling their life. Wait. It's the other way around.
English
Imagine thinking your IQ is 130 or above but not understanding how standard deviation works. 68% of the population votes blue here.

@SeasonalWaifu01 What if you have 2 year olds on the platform with you that you watch press blue before you make your choice because they don’t know any better?
English
My two cents on the button discourse is that if you were standing on a collapsible platform stationed above a bunch of buzzing saws that were about to shred you to pieces, everyone would press red.
English
@BarneyFlames But really the fact that the outcome has annoyed redpushers like you so much that they’re still cope-posting about it a week later is hilarious. Best possible outcome in basically all ways.
English
Its annoying that empathetic midwits have so much discursive power because of their numbers. They can just pretend things are not what they actually are. "What about Muh children" is simply changing the red/blue problem to something it is not.
English
@itsjolyne Do you press red or blue, and which one of these buying makes you an, "animal." I don't think you're going to genuinely answer this in good faith.
English
i always hit blue because i don’t want to live in a world with animals who don’t care about their fellow human beings
Baseball's Not Dead@dead_baseball
Let's say red is up by 1 vote. There's only two people left in the world to vote, you and someone else, and you both know red is up by 1 vote. Which one do you press? Let's say red is up by 2 votes. 3 people left to vote. Which one do you press? (cont)
