@answerdaboi @briff_c You know now but the entire point of the scenario is that it’s private you’re not supposed to make the decision with any knowledge of how anyone else would vote

Genuinamente que alguien elija rojo es como lo más idiota que puede haber.
Con lo fácil que sería apretar la mayoría el azul y NADIE muere.

Everyone on earth takes 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? BE HONEST.

@ArtemisFowl_003 @Yesterstar_1029 @chilled_bacon @TobimuneOwl Explain to me why not all governments allow their citizens to choose their leaders. Or I’m just gonna assume you’re a rage beater and stop responding

@omelpha2 @Yesterstar_1029 @chilled_bacon @TobimuneOwl Saudi Arabia isnt a Dictatorship. It has a Monarchy
English
Of course you'd press the red button you subhuman trash
Chibi Reviews@ChibiReviews
The whole blue and red button drama is basically this summarized If everyone clicked red, nobody would die. Those that click blue have suicidal empathy
English
@ArtemisFowl_003 @Yesterstar_1029 @chilled_bacon @TobimuneOwl how was a rig selection different from no elections? And Saudi Arabia doesn’t have elections.
English
@omelpha2 @Yesterstar_1029 @chilled_bacon @TobimuneOwl They still hold elections. Your point fails. Dictators love elections when they are the ones counting the votes. I dont think you actually know how dictators operate.
English
@ArtemisFowl_003 @Yesterstar_1029 @chilled_bacon @TobimuneOwl Assuming you don’t count rigged elections kim Jong un and Vladimir Putin come to mind
English
@omelpha2 @Yesterstar_1029 @chilled_bacon @TobimuneOwl Which dictators currently do not hold elections? Without having google help you.
English
@runitsukino Oh, you’re talking about the comedy quartet. Ended up checking out the show a couple years ago just to find out what the name was referring to. Still don’t have an answer, but I do not regret it.
English
what if 100% of people vote red tho? don't they all survive? what does voting blue even accomplish then?

@ArtemisFowl_003 @Yesterstar_1029 @chilled_bacon @TobimuneOwl Why do dictators not hold elections. Because they know the laws they pass aren’t what the people want and they would lose because of that.
English
@omelpha2 @Yesterstar_1029 @chilled_bacon @TobimuneOwl They arent. Revolutionary war was started over a tax that was less than 2% I currently pay above 30% You dont understand why he is wrong because you dont understand permissive acceptance is when it comes to laws.

@ArtemisFowl_003 @Yesterstar_1029 @chilled_bacon @TobimuneOwl They are right though, proven by the fact that you’re resorting to insults rather than counter arguments

@OscarWhite83 La pregunta es: ¿preferís asesinar a millones de personas, o suicidarte?
Yo prefiero suicidarme.

@answerdaboi @briff_c You’re literally in a situation where you have control of other peoples lives. And you have no way of guaranteeing people you care about will all push red.
English
@briff_c Yeah but my life is the only one i have control over. Im no good to my family dead. If red guarantees that then that is the pick 100 times over.
English
@GraphiteDesert You're calling people pussies for not risking their own lives to save idiots?
English
This is such a stupid, one-sided question that I can't even call it a dilemma. People picking red are just trying to find reasoning for being massive selfish pussies.
HazardousWolf 🇺🇸@_Hazardous_Wolf
It's happening again.
English
@20142002Ruben @GraphiteDesert You have no way of knowing or controlling what you’re loving ones will pick. just because you pick red doesn’t mean they will.
English
@GraphiteDesert "I'll bet away the life of my children, babies, wife and everyone"
Idk man, blue just seems like the psychopath option, pick red and tell your family to do the same
English
@Qwertyu196979 @HalcyonHypnotic someones stops by your house
‘pick a color. if you pick red, you can go on about your day. if you pick blue, theres a chance when i’m done i’ll come back and kill you’ if you picked blue, you basically killed yourself.
English
Blue - Maybe die
Red - nothing happens
“Choose blue because some people are too brain dead to choose red”
> are we serious right now…

@TheWildGunblade @wetomecharity @kbryanw @5stringTex I didn’t know the concept was older than that, but it doesn’t prove that interpretation wrong. The wording that me and most people know uses the word everyone, everyone includes toddlers
English
@omelpha2 @wetomecharity @kbryanw @5stringTex not the ORIGINAL poster... that happened in 2023... and in dorm rooms for decades prior to that... all the way back to the prisoners dilemma. That's all this is, a variation on that.
Also you're now using babies and innocents as hostages while trying to claim moral high ground.
English
I made a table for this.
If you pick red, you will always survive.
If you pick blue, you might die.
You should always pick red.

Maybe, but I just wouldn’t take part in it because it makes it ridiculous. Then, you would need to know the percentage of the population who are kids, try to figure out at what age they would vote rationally, etc. I think the spirit of the thought experiment is for adults since it involves a “vote” which is almost universally adults in other instances. When it’s adults, it’s a clear cut thought experiment and a great debate of rational self interest versus collectivism. Throwing in children and even babies into the decision process makes it pointless. Imagine having thought experiment about a jury trial but 2 year olds would be on the jury—it’s silly.
English
@Yetomy_Corp @Suronco @Concurrencys @FatherKhan I agree, that if the same people voted in real life. The number of blue voters would be lower. But I’m not certain if the world voted, since I’m not sure how good of a representation of humanity the people that that algorithm showed this post to is
English
@omelpha2 @Suronco @Concurrencys @FatherKhan The truth is, if this experiment were to actually happen, I'm fairly certain blue would not get >50%; a low-stakes public poll is almost the best possible environment for blue and even here, blue only gets 56%- barely above the threshold.
English
@Yetomy_Corp @Suronco @Concurrencys @FatherKhan I’ll consider you as a blue pusher then since that was the original posters intent
English
@omelpha2 @Suronco @Concurrencys @FatherKhan If only ppl who can fully grasp the thought experiment are participating- I’d push red. If literally everyone on Earth was participating, including babies randomly pressing a button, I think I’d feel morally obligated to press blue even though it would almost certainly mean I die

@be_Zanazar @omelpha2 @kbryanw @5stringTex So you’re saying toddlers are dying right now and you’re not doing anything because you’re worried about saving yourself?
English
@wetomecharity @kbryanw @5stringTex So your claim is that if I tried harder, I could cause cherries succeed please tell me single person with very little disposable income can do that
English
@omelpha2 @kbryanw @5stringTex Are they succeeding though? Has *everyone* been saved? Like your supposed goal? Maybe you should try harder, selfish person.
