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?


@dyingscribe How would red button pushed be a "selfish, individualistic, and insufferable"? I'm asking because you're usually objective enough. Nowhere does in the premise hints whatsoever that the red button pusher are forbidden from making more people pick the "YOU'LL BE FINE 100%" button

Wow. The Pope was just asked his stance on migration. His answer is amazing: “I would change the question: what is the global North doing to help the global South in its situation that forces them to migrate.”


Singapore is not a high trust society, it’s a port city where order is enforced by a draconian police state that canes people for stuff that isn’t even a crime here. If that police state disappeared next Tuesday, you’d have a race war by the weekend. Nice place to visit though.

@TheOmniLiberal Destiny have you seen the blue/red button dilemma? What’s your take


red is an unbelievably phenomenally disgustingly selfish decision and i do not have theory of mind for anyone who would choose it
