Opinions formed after thinking. Unpopular method.







not only did the shooter rt criticisms of me claiming i was promoting antisocial behavior on his way to kill the president, he also was a major supporter of pro israel liberals who spent the last 2 months claiming i was fomenting violence lmao.



"What is happening here is that crazy people have easy access to firearms in the country. That is what is behind almost all of these shootings... and that is the thing that we should be addressing." @Timodc pushes back on those alleging the WHCD shooting was a false flag.

‼️🚨WHCD SHOOTER’S SOCIAL MEDIA IS DGG CODED??? @kuihman notices an odd trend w/ Cole Allen’s (the WHCD shooter) reposting habits on his social media Based on the cast of characters Allen reposted and the nature of those posts, Kuihman speculates it all points to him being DGG

@sleepy_devo Ben Shapiro inspired a mass shooter and you’re just objectively wrong about this current shooters politics. Why are these tweets still up?




The BlueSky Killer being a Noah Smith fan and accusing Gaza protestors of secretly loving Trump, guys I am dying, I am dead



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…



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?

I'd bet $1 million dollars he's Free Palestine.




Newly resurfaced tweets from Cole Allen reveal he hated Hasan Piker, the "Far Left", and pro-Palestine protestors.
