Accurate cartoon. In my polling, almost 6% of people said they picked the wrong button when they were prompted about it. Assume the global error rate is higher and kids' responses are random, and easily 1-in-6 to 1-in-5 hit blue by mistake. So, if red wins, society is ruined.
The absolute and total feminization of institutions, especially those of education, has led to extremely feminized thinking about research. These researchers, some of whom are physically women and the rest of whom are (mostly) spiritual women, cannot bring themselves to face the real nature of mankind. There are many reasons for this, and they are all connected. Here are two of them. To face the real nature of humanity, you must accept that violence is golden, as Jack Donovan (@mr_jackdonovan) said, and is the primary social tool by which society functions. We are either cooperating to protect ourselves from violence, cooperating to commit violence, or some combination of the two. Violence (and politics) is the primary job of men, which brings up the second point. Men are indispensable. We are the backbone of civilization, and civilizations cannot exist without us being men. That means more than just having an X and a Y chromosome, but acting in a masculine way, being dominant, strong, courageous, and willing to fight for ourselves and those we care about. This is something women cannot do, and it makes them dependent on men for survival. That terrifies the effeminate male, who cannot participate in that and therefore has no place in that hierarchy, neither as a masculine man nor as a feminine woman. It also terrifies the unwanted women, who cannot find their place with a man to protect them. Institutions tend to collect these people the way a poorly run company collects debts, until the weight of it all crushes the institution and reveals it for what it is.
The Blues get to feel smarter & morally superior. The Reds get to actually be alive.
Everyone pressing red is MATHEMATICALLY IMPOSSIBLE 51% pressing blue is realistic and easily achievable Blue is the logical option, it's literally the "Everyone lives" button, pressing red and risking yourself to societal collapse just shows the inside of your skull is a void
@LimpSpectre Blue: everyone lives if >50% press blue. Red: I live, but I watch my small babies and children die if >50% press red. When framed this way, it is obvious the red button pushers didnt put themselves in the shoes (empathy) of even their own children.
Red and blue button pushers: who's smarter? In a mostly-subscriber sample who took a brief verbal IQ test, the answer is... Blue pushers! If the whole population has an IQ of 100 with an SD of 15, their mean IQ would be 101.9, versus 97.0 for reds.
@mfacehero Red is not the rational choice unless you are OK with mass death.

If we project beyond the score cutoff, the mean increases to 102.06 for blue and falls to 96.73 for red. This version should really help people with their midwit memes!
