@ALYAPOH Reframing the thought experiment is important to make the blue voters realize the gravity of their choice, simple as. Pressing a button isn't scary, but the consequences would be the same as jumping into a crusher (if they lose the bet)

@HardwireMedia The premise is faulty for sure, a more realistic interpretation would definitely go very differently, when you take into consideration, factors like the bystander effect, peer pressure, anxiogenic situation, and ton more psychological phenomenon, the situation becomes complicate

These red-button reframings only make their case look worse. Of course framing matters. People are programmed not to jump into wood chippers or in front of trains. But in the original Tim Urban framing, a ton of kids would pick blue because it sounds like the brave, obvious “save everyone” choice. They’re not thinking game theory. They’re thinking: help the group, do the right thing, stop the train. So choosing red in that framing is basically abandoning the people most likely to be fooled by the premise, including children. That’s why the framing matters. It can literally create different moral realities. Red voters are chalked.

@monsterprom Its a good essay, but the flaws with this experiment is that its too narrowminded, its not always just blue and red, there's shades of purple in there in every single situation you can think of, you need healthy dose of red in order to be able to press that blue button, its vital

The red/blue button situation has been intense, huh? One of the strangest (or saddest) things to witness is that people getting heated about "RED BUTTON IS THE ONLY LOGICAL SOLUTION" seem near incapable of framing the thought experiment outside a purely individualistic lens.

I don't think you're a creeper. But you do seem to tick off too many women. Kirsche, Pippa, Aydin, Shoe, you prolly ticked off the kettle too if she knew of you. Like obviously some in the list may not be your fault or w/e but you are collecting female grudges like pokemon cards.

You know, a few weeks ago i made a post that i deleted where i said every lolicon is bigoted and racist. But now, after the thing happened to Mimi, i realize why we act the way we do. There shouldn't be mercy towards ANY Anti. None. If you genuinely believe that a person should get arrested and doxxed over Drawings then i want you to be FAR away from me and children before you infect it with your mental illness. Antis don't deserve any mercy. It's genuinely so upsetting.

Okay, thought of another wrinkle. If red wins by a large margin, then everyone who is alive pressed red. We all know we all pressed red. That actually builds some social cohesion. But if blue wins, people will spend the rest of their lives suspecting people of pressing red. Admitting to have pressed red will make you a social pariah. There may even be calls to find and punish anyone who pressed red. This would create a highly paranoid society going forward. A narrow red victory is still a disaster scenario, but a dominant red victory may actually be better than a blue victory.
Captain Ⓐncapistan@CptAncapistan

Alright, one last post about this after having given it a lot of thought and seeing people's reasonings. I'll give my final choice at the end. Firstly, I don't think you're necessarily stupid to pick blue or necessarily immoral to pick red. I think a lot of it just comes down to what your first instinct is, "we have to save everyone" or "why would anyone pick the option where you can die?" I think most people are sticking with their first instinct and finding ways to justify it. People are wired differently. It's good that society has a mix of these instincts as both compassion and self-preservation serve a purpose in our survival as a species. There are bad people and good people on both sides, and there are dumb people and smart people on both sides. I also think framing matters a lot, particularly when it's reframed as action vs inaction. The scenarios of taking a poison pill or jumping into a blender/woodchipper make it easy to choose red because blue is more clearly taking a suicidal action. The scenario of the red party killing everyone who voted for the blue party if they win makes it easy to choose blue because red is more clearly taking a homicidal action. The rules are still effectively the same in all three scenarios, but the framing matters. The button example is so controversial because the framing is as neutral as it can be, which lets both the blue side frame red side as homicidal and the red side frame the blue side as suicidal. The best argument I've seen for blue is that the only scenario where no one dies is if more than half of people press blue because we can safely assume that a non-zero number of people will press the blue button. On top of that, if a slim majority picks red, that's basically a Thanos snap situation, and it would be far worse than what the writers of Avengers: Endgame were able to fathom, with the added bonus of a selection bias that eliminates all the people with compassion instinct and leaves us only with the people with the self-preservation instinct. For those reasons, I would hope that the majority press blue. That being said, I still ultimately come down on pressing the red button. There are some 8 billion people in the world. The chances that my choice is the deciding button press is effectively zero. If I press blue, I'm just leaving my fate up to the results. My button press is meaningless. The only way I have agency in this situation is to press the red button. Also, I know my wife is pressing blue, but I don't know what my kids will do. If one or both of my kids press blue while the majority picks red, I can't save them by pressing blue. But, if one or both of my kids press red while the majority picks red, I can guarantee that they aren't orphaned if I press red. But hey, maybe I'm just finding a way to justify my initial instinct, just like everyone else. x.com/waitbutwhy/sta…

The red-blue button experiment is occurring. The aliens running it single you out and inform you that blue is going to fail 49-51. However, they are offering you a chance to push a green button and make it so all who pressed blue live and all who pressed red die. Do you push it?

@flaminhottweets no, because then chaos ensues, every blue person can never believe each other and must live with the guilt and the mystery of never understanding what happened, why the red people died and all that, society crumbles and falls into anarchy

@GremlinIndustry @CptAncapistan That's a generalization, you can't pay off everybody on the red side, in reality, most have principles and convictions. Same for blue, but if they are willing to risk it for some greater goals, they are more susceptible to foreign influence, like the red asshole you think of

Two things: 1. The best* result is not "everyone lives" but rather "You do not die." I think a lot of people are being idealistic about this, saying it's selfish, etc, but you're already making that exact tradeoff every day. You make choices that maximize your chance of continuing to not just remain alive but also very comfortable, even at the expense of bettering other people's shot of continuing to be alive (you could live in a shoebox and donate all your money to buy malaria nets, for instance). 2. Since childhood I've tried many strategies to explain logic puzzles to members of my family, and it rarely works out. You probably have family members like this as well. Anyway, I'm not making a positive argument about the thought experiment. But I think it's very silly to pretend (1) isn't true. You're already doing this! You do it all the time! * Best in the sense that A contains B. All people living is a very good outcome! But it's extremely important that you personally continue living, strategically. It's basically the most important thing. "No it's not you're just selfish" you're a liar and your lifestyle betrays you! Go volunteer at a soup kitchen!

@redrummarts Collectivist versus individualist, part of the system or not, the collectivist needs everyone to participate in their systems for them to work, while individualists needs only themselves to be left alone. Its a shitty thought experiment meant to make blue look beter than they are

Everyone who's picking red thinks blue is the suicide button. And everyone who picks blue thinks red is the murder button That's the only conclusion I'm getting from this

Blue voters believe that their choice is more moral, and it costs them nothing to make that choice. I invoke the power of Peter Singer's thought experiments. Voting blue does not cost nothing--it may actually cost you your life. If you would be willing to moralize about gambling your life away on a coin toss for the benefit of other people, then why don't you donate 100% of your disposable income to charity to save the lives of dying people today? If you value your personal agency (i.e. life-time) less than that of the totality of that of your fellow man, then why do you, the blue voter, refuse to put your money where your mouth is?
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?

@DepressedWheel @marcell_hise Think. In reality, everyone should look out for themselves, its the only way to truly minimize the losses, because seeking this utopic paradise isn't statistically probable, you're throwing your life against millenias of survival instinct and selfishness, you will lose and die
