@timwebbah @Carloxxxx2 Reds are a liability to society, yes, but since the vote was private
English
In the blue society, you can leave your doors open, and the streets are clean
In the red society you have to watch your belongings in public
That's all I'll say.

>Press Red you are guaranteed to survive no matter what >Press Blue you are at the mercy of the rest of the world also pressing it Nothing is forcing anyone to press blue and anyone who says they would press blue is trying to farm browniepoints and virtue signal
English
@TheRightSideO11 @AsianGoggins @OrwellNGoode The blue = ‘attempt to save’ is totally fair. But the red = ‘killing’ is just post hoc moralizing.
English
@AsianGoggins @OrwellNGoode The only way to kill anyone is to press red. You are voting to sacrifice everyone who pressed blue to save your own cowardly ass
English
@Rraklez2 @Carloxxxx2 I understand the argument but there’s a lot of guess work here still: you don’t know how many morons pressed it, and you don’t know how many red pressers recognize their plight and conclude they should play Russian roulette by pressing blue. That logic is overconfident imho.
English
@Carloxxxx2 Everyone should press red, youd be an idiot not to but theres gonna be a few dumbfucks that press blue and kill themselves so therefore everyone who was gonna push red should just press blue to save those retards and themselves.

I think the Team Red people are just pretending not to get it at this point.

Here is the best explanation so far in regard to the red vs blue button. For those that are team blue button can yall explain why?
English
@ohcrapohno “If half of everyone would just gamble with their lives” … why do blues think this is massive flaw in red logic? Red dgaf about getting to 100% red, it’s superfluous to their case.
English
@HardwireMedia I think the original framing is great at creating the controversy, but (imho) it pumps the intuitions for blue way harder than red.
English
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.

I’ve seen like 800 tweets about this but my simple way of thinking is:
If you choose blue, you don’t want anyone to die. It is impossible for anyone to die if you press blue.
If you choose red, you are afraid of others choosing red. The only way anyone dies at all is if you choose red.
When I read this, I actually don’t think about myself. I think about hurting the least amount of people. So I pick blue.

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.
English
@PromptNoJutsu I asked one blue pusher how he would feel if he was the only one on Earth who hit blue.
He said he would blame the rest of the world for “killing him”.

Question for 🔵 Blue voters:
Let's explore a Red-Blue button Tim Urban-style hypothetical scenario where you're the only person who voted for blue and the rest of the world voted red.
If your goal was for humanity to survive and everyone but you did — are you happier that humanity survived or sadder that you died?

@kaizen000000000 Not fearing God makes you more moral? This is the literal opposite of wisdom.
English
Atheists are more pure in their morality, because we do it out of the kindness of our heart, not because we fear hell.

"А вдруг кто-то не понял условия задачи и по ошибке нажал синюю кнопку. Ну там бабульки или младенцы"
Да, действительно, синюю кнопку нужнонажимать из-за того, что-то многие не поняли условия задачи.
Но многие — это краснокнопочники. Гляньте, как они думают, что стоят в стороне

@TheJamie @mikethree The binary depends on your perspective. You see a kill button… reds don’t:
English
@TheJamie @mikethree Why the blues gotta frame their voluntary death risk as red murder? You consented to the risk. Red’s are happy for you to gamble and win. But if you lose it’s not homicide, it was a bad gamble on your part. Cmon
English
blue button pressers are bent out of shape because their lives literally depend on convincing everyone else to think like they do and press the button they need them to press
if they could they would force you to press the blue button at gunpoint and kill you if you refused
English
@jxcn1717 @asphasichorses @JarrodCMaloney It’s amazing that you interpreted it that way tbh. It says nothing about the candidates advocating for killing. Only that if B loses killing will happen…
English
@asphasichorses @timwebbah @JarrodCMaloney For red? I would definitely vote against the candidate that is apparently threatening to kill the other candidate's supporters if he wins.

The problem with the red button
Crémieux@cremieuxrecueil
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.
English
@jxcn1717 @JarrodCMaloney wasn’t trying to bias it tbh. I like that there’s only voting age people in it which undercuts the blue appeal to save the children.
English
Psychopaths be like: “let’s reframe the blue button red button problem into a completely different unrelated scenario that doesn’t make me look like a psychopath.”
English
the red blue button arguments are still going
the logical disconnect and mental gymnastics red people are doing to justify it is so absolutely ridiculous and lacking iq
