@JaredMe52673212 @chaitinsgoose Everyone knows by now that the retarded answer is the "right" one to express publicly so further polls are pointless.

@chaitinsgoose @yhousegone It could just as easily be reframed as this. Vote Purple you live. Vote Green you die unless Green gets over 50%.
English
i realized framing impacts me too
there is an election. if candidate A wins, nothing happens. if candidate B wins, he kills all those who voted A. who do you vote for?
English
@oqayowoqwq So the blue button puts you in the category of "people who will be killed if too many people press red". It does do something.
English
Honestly, the question is worded poorly when in reality
the Blue button does nothing and the Red button just kills everyone who voted Blue.
There is absolutely no good reason to vote Red and this is why Blue wins.
oqayow@oqayowoqwq
If the goal is for everyone to survive you'd need 100% votes for red (Impossible) or just >50% votes for blue (pretty easy)

@cheenmachine2 blues: we will lay down our lives for a 0.00001% chance of saving a single retarded blind person
also blues: we'll fucking kill anyone who won't do the same

@anon_opin >I don't want too many foreigners in my home country therefore I can't move to another country myself that welcomes me and doesn't mind

It's been said before, but bears repeating. If you're a UK citizen and live in Dubai/Spain/ anywhere not the UK, then you're not an "expat". You're an immigrant. Fucking double standard Daily Mail cunts.

@John_Cyrano blue does not "ensure" everyone survives. It adds 1 to the 4 billion presses required for everyone to survive.
English
This is why the people who keep rephrasing the wording of the test are cheating.
Your choice comes down to your focus when you read it--are you focused on "how do I survive?" or "how do I ensure everyone survives?"
Your choice depends on which you ask yourself.

i don’t understand why anybody would choose the red button. asking genuinely, if you chose it - why? if 50%+ choose blue, everyone lives. if less than 50% choose red, only those who chose red live. why are you willing to sacrifice half of those people?
English
English
@PavelTheDev Yeah, do you have to kill yourself when a family member dies now?
English
Your grandma chose BLUE
And you are still pressing RED?
MrBeast@MrBeast
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
Billions of people are about to kill themselves.
You have the power to help them live.
Do you?

A train is coming down a track. Everyone on Earth has the choice to either tie themselves to the track, or not. If more than 50% of people choose to tie themselves to the track, the train turns around and doesn't run them over. Yes or no - do you tie yourself to the track?
English
@CRB19633892 @wokenessucks Still doesn't make sense. Reds retain the option to kill themselves after the 5 or 10% blue die-off if the world is really that bad. Red all day.
English
Well, maybe you also aren’t taking into consideration the actual effect of THAT many people dying if red wins.
Is it even suicide if your goal is trying to increase the chance to save society? Like we’re not talking about “some” people we’re talking potentially billions and if not billions 100s of millions of people. The ramifications of that would destroy society.
You’re right, in a real world situation it’s more likely red will win but in a simulation are you really not able to see how much better it is for people to collectively try to achieve above 50% blue? Like is it really that hard to see that a majority blue is the absolute best case scenario?
And if that’s the case then why not go for blue? Fear. Red is a fear based decision masquerading as “common sense” and “individualism”. It’s fear. It’s Pontius Pilate.
English
The problem with the red button/blue button thing is that blue button people still live with this filter over their eyes that distorts reality.
They lack the self-awareness to realize that if they were actually in that situation in real life, they’d push the red button too. That’s exactly why they get so mad and take it personally when we don’t see it their way. They call us immoral and evil.
But we see the world realistically. They don’t. When you factor in the other 8 billion people on Earth and the raw fear of possibly dying, there’s zero chance 51% hit the blue button. 95–98% of people would take the guaranteed safe option and choose red.
We know this because we deal in reality, not fantasy. For us red-button people, pushing blue is suicide.
Is it sad that out of 8 billion some will inevitably hit blue and die? Yes. But if blue is suicide, I’m still hitting red.
The vast majority of blue button people lack the self-awareness to know how they’d actually react under pressure.
They’re the morons who die first in horror movies.

@scorpian7103 @BANDIT_FL @chaitinsgoose On sober reading I think you're right, outcomes are same, A/Blue>50, all live, B/Red>50, blue die. Red live either way. So the new bit is the moral idea of "Party B are evil, why would you vote for a group who'd do such a thing, they would be terrible rulers". B still correct tho
English
@BANDIT_FL @chaitinsgoose @yhousegone actually its the same question with the same results, its just switches who is presented as passive and active. saying pressing Red and voting B will both not effect said presser/voter and pressing blue/voting A still requires a 50% majority to not die.
English
@candlecav But as we've learned as the debate progressed, blue voters are going to hunt and kill any red voter they find or suspect afterwards. DOES THAT CHANGE YOUR VOTE, BIGOT?
English
Okay, I've gone round-and-round on this, and I'm still a Red-button voter, and here's why.
The situation is this: you are suddenly in a booth, with the buttons in front of you.
You know all 8.3 billion people on earth are voting.
You know at least some will vote each way, including children and mental incompetents for whom it's basically a toss-up.
You have no idea what the outcome will be. All you can do is make a prediction based on what you know of human nature.
My prediction, based on what little I know of human nature, is a majority-Red vote.
This is because most ordinary people, faced with the dilemma, will see it simply as
A - I will definitely live or
B - 50/50 chance I die.
The kind of complex moral calculation you have to make to see the argument behind a Blue vote is simply not going to occur to or persuade the *majority* of *ordinary* people, globally.
Now, if I am *right* about human nature, then a Blue vote, for me, is simply suicide. I die, I save nobody, and whoever of my family is left alive have to face the new world without me.
But if I am *wrong* about human nature, then the Blue vote gets the majority, and nobody dies, including me.
So for me, in that moment, behind that veil of ignorance, knowing that my ONE vote will NOT be the deciding one among countless millions, the ONLY sensible choice - is Red.

Not to be a fatalist or a doom and gloomer
As a father of 2 raising kids in 2026, I personally feel like it would be insane to have kids these days
The inmates have truly taken over the asylum and the mechanisms for checks and balances are captured

women’s rights but no women’s rights if they don’t vote for the Correct party
Women For Restore@W4Restore
Utterly shocked by this YouGov poll. 🤯 Ladies, what are you flipping doing?! Voting Green ISN’T progressive. It puts women at risk by erasing sex-based rights and single-sex spaces, not to mention OPEN borders tied to grooming gangs and violence against women! This isn’t compassion - it’s dangerous virtue signalling. We need honest conversations about this. Encourage women you know to examine the hard facts and dangers of this voting intention. Wake up. Our daughters’ safety depends on it!

@BongMongo @nordicseljuk Because we are GOOD PEOPLE that's why. GOOD PEOPLE put themselves in entirely avoidable danger and then blame BAD PEOPLE for not risking their own lives to save us. You're not a BAD PERSON, are you??

It is actually disturbing how dumb the average person is Red gives you a 100% chance of living, you literally get nothing beneficial out of choosing blue
