@greenonionlover I think it’s mainly the hot thing yeah. And then there’s an appeal that I imagine is similar to like asmr videos but with an air of artfulness and humor that makes people feel smarter for watching than they would with asmr

One of the most untrue statements ever. It’s just that girl culture is way more subtle than boy culture. Dasha’s legacy can be found in Cake Pops and Brandy Melville. Nick Mullens influence can be seen in guys literally just stealing his jokes verbatim.

@Impish_Bunny @GamestopHolder That isn’t a problem. Once you understand that you might finally get it

@GamestopHolder realistically everyone sees themselves as the right side tho which is da whole problem lol

i actually think it’s immoral for anyone to press the blue button because you are forcing everyone else into a situation where they have to take on risk of death to protect you from your own decision
Tim Urban@waitbutwhy
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?

@Logo_Daedalus Game theory is a branch of mathematics and nobody with even a cursory understanding of that fact would ever claim otherwise. That doesn’t mean it can’t be useful in real life situations but you have to be very careful to avoid sloppy applications

Further it shows that “game theory” doesn’t take into account concrete reality, but rather only describes its own false logic in a closed hermeneutical circle that defines reality, all that is outside its method, as “irrational”

Red is unambiguously the "game theoretically correct" position, but it's actually encouraging that the majority still picks Blue, because it means that a majority of people are willing to take on meaningful personal risk to save their neighbor, which I think is beautiful

@lporiginalg Virtue doesnt even to come into play. It’s perfectly rational and self interested to press blue. The game theory rationalists think they will just let 30-50% of the worlds population die and go back to work the next day instead of becoming a gimp for a post apocalyptic warlord

It's less of an IQ question than people realize. Fundamentally it's asking if you're ok with blood on your hands to save your own skin. White downies aren't pushing blue because they are stupid but because they are loving and compassionate. This is a test of your virtue.
Makalaurë@Elvish_Harper
No I suspect that most people with down syndrome aren't stupid enough to push the blue button

it actually scares me how many people loudly, smugly, and incorrectly think they've solved this with "game theory"
Robb Allen@ItsRobbAllen
New Trolley problem has arrived, only it's dumber. Pres Red - 100% chance of living. Blue - Non-zero chance of dying. It has nothing to do with empathy for others unless you're stuck on suicidal empathy, which is YOUR fault, not mine. There is ZERO logical reason for ANYONE to press blue. NONE.

having an actual auteur at the helm and not a studio puppet is a better start than like 98% of video game adaptations. i'm cautiously optimistic

it’s insane that people are excited for the elden ring movie off of the all time awful run of Men, Civil War and Warfare that garland is on right now

I've met quite a few famous people bc I worked next to multiple venues as a bartender. Unequivocally the biggest piece of shit I have ever met of any celebrity was Tim Heidecker. This is not a bit, I have met him and he was such a fucking twat I never watched Tim & Eric again
