Exceeded the target. Haven't looked at scores yet, but will note that reds were *much* less accurate when it came to identifying the threshold to save everyone. For red, it's 100%. For blue, it's 50%+1. Since this is obvious, I think the reds might just be partisan-brained.

Crémieux@cremieuxrecueil

I've received 166 wordsum scores plus blue/red button press results, and I'm so tempted to look, but I have to wait until I hit my target sample size of 2,350. Which side's button pushers will end up being more intelligent?

@cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero From a game theory perspective red is the right answer

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.

@cremieuxrecueil What’s interesting about it is not what you think. It may actually show that educated people have been conditioned to be blue pushers through college. You’re confusing correlation and causality.

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.

You don’t understand. You don’t know the result before it happens. You can’t be like “see I survived” as an argument. It’s like hitting tail once and thinking you’re gonna hit it again next time. You don’t know the outcome, your individual vote doesn’t change the outcome, there’s no point pressing blue. I can’t dumb it more down.

@babibobulo @PErwinsson @john_woody @ISavatgy @MrBeast you're ignoring the human element. there is a decent portion of people that are thinking about everyone as a whole as opposed to only themselves living. they're going to vote blue. that doesn't make their vote meaningless for wanting the highest likelihood of everyone living

@SSJLane @PErwinsson @john_woody @ISavatgy @MrBeast I think what I’m getting at is that in the thought experiment you do not have time to debate with me or your mother. Everyone votes blind with zero knowledge about the end distribution. In this setup you literally cannot impact the distribution in any way.

@SSJLane @PErwinsson @john_woody @ISavatgy @MrBeast It’s not selfish because my choice has no impact on the overall distribution. The correct framing is “it is stupid to pick blue”. Your vote won’t change the outcome. If you believe your vote will change the result you gotta stop with the drugs.

Babibobulo@babibobulo·1d

I’m not gonna force you to push any particular button. Why would you want to force people’s choice? The point is: you can’t impact the distribution, so from your standpoint, the results are static, already precomputed. You pick from there. Picking blue won’t save anyone if they lose: it will just kill you. And there is no way for you to change the result. It’s not more complicated than that. Let people choose and deal with the consequences.

It doesn’t change the problem. If a relative pressed blue and blue lost, my vote won’t save them, it would just kill me. Your vote is just a sample in 8 billion. It has no impact. Voting blue is irrational from a game theory standpoint. Blue pressers are probably terrible at board games.

I will just say it, the whole ''100% vs 50%'' argument from blues is a joke. I don't care about reaching 100% survival rate, because those who died did so willingly. Don't suicide and make me responsible for your actions. ''B-but we have to save the retards''. Most blues think like that, therefore, you are the retards.
