@QuetzalPhoenix They won’t see it. I present to them, red is the positive pro life choice (you are literally choosing life), and they are befuddled thinking how can this be?! The inversion of everything has been too strong for too long.
English

@megha_lilly People will project themselves onto anything. Carefully working beyond others egos is a craft and a truly profound skill for those that can achieve it. Often it will be necessary to be personal and leading, to form connections that can override the ego and touch the soul.
English

Here's a hard lesson I learned over ten years on twitter/X. How you make people feel with your writing is often more important than the information you convey. Because if people feel stressed out, belittled, weak or in despair after something you've put out in the world, even if what you said is technically correct, will it even have a good impact? There are good and bad ways to say true things.
English

@SCHIZO_FREQ @questionableway they think it is strange because they are projecting their wish for death of the other on the red, something that the red has not done.
English

@questionableway Why? If blue wins by supermajority in all polls it matters even less than usual that they would vote red

@MoranRespecter @VacuityNomad @IterIntellectus That’s your own projection, you’ve been so desperately angry. I’m comfortable with my choice and outcome.
A) This isn’t a possible real world scenario because in the real world we can coordinate, you’re making up more nonsense.
English

Again, projection, I’m making calm points and you’re associating evil onto me. Why? Please answer
A) How coordination problems work in the real world, in a worldwide scenario?
B) is it better to be there for your children that survive against this common outcome to have a parent or not? You can raise them to be good, however you want but only if you survive the experiment.
Do you really see no nuance in this? Do your really think all reds are purely selfish or evil? Why?
English

@MoranRespecter @VacuityNomad @IterIntellectus I have children to think of, no need for the cereal aisle to make some BS. I addressed every possible outcome and made my choice, enough people did the same so that that we achieved the best possible outcome. Meanwhile you’re stuck in a loop of fury at us for choosing humanity.
English

You’re doing it again. Failing to address reality for moral shadow projection onto reds. The structure of the thought experiment is modeling coordination problems. Your naivety of the world and common outcomes of this problem in reality leads to your choice effectively being suicide. Biological associations of red are also prevalent, just visit the children’s cereal aisle.
English

@MoranRespecter @VacuityNomad @IterIntellectus There’s no suicide and no coordination. There is the potential for murder though. You made up all that nonsense to justify yourself but there’s no need. We understand you chose yourself and forgot about the children or didn’t care. Why are trying so hard to vice signal?
English

@MoranRespecter @VacuityNomad @IterIntellectus Oh I didn’t realize I could just hatch capable children, I assumed I had to birth babies and then raise them for several years. Is there an accelerated maturity option?
English

Except your solution requires a delusional leap of faith that when tested against reality fails repeatedly.
When you pick the impossible solution over the achievable one, solely to save your unintegrated ego, you aren’t a good person, you’re just telling yourself you are because you think about a zero stakes version of a dis-reality. Don’t get mad being called out over basic reasoning.
English

@ChrisHowald @BlackDumpling Except your solution requires 100% global adherence to work, an impossibility
When you pick the impossible solution over the achievable one solely to save yourself, you aren't a good person. Don't get mad for being called out over basic logic
English

Publicly announcing I'm not responsible to keep stupid people alive doesn't confront me much. If you select the Blue button you do solely and exclusively to create a responsibility in others to preserve your life for you when you won't do it for yourself. That's not moral.
You force an unnecessarily gutwrenching choice onto others just so you can smugly tell yourself you're their superior because you'd super duper save them if the places were reversed when... NO, you're the only creating risk for others to begin with.
You had a chance to save everyone BY PICKING THE RED BUTTON. You elected instead to create a nightmare scenario for others.
No one is compelled to press the blue button. No one. It is purely voluntary. Which means if you did you KNOWINGLY created a scenario where other people would have to risk death just to save you.
You made the least moral choice possible and if you're willing to create a scenario that risks murdering billions then I have zero problem letting you go.
Unfathomable Studios@NfthmblStudios
publicly announcing you're a redbutton excises you from polite society, you might be useful 3nough to keep around as a side acquaintance, but now nobody can ever assume you'll do anything besides act to maximize your personal stake a stray flea-bitten dog, no more appropriate for an up and coming influencer

@PwnzAll @minordissent Is an affluent and online American audience representative in a global experiment?
English

@MoranRespecter @minordissent A 100k is a very high sample size for any social study, I wouldn't be surprised is someone did their dissertation from data found here
It would need similar data spanning across 50-80 year span but I believe the willingness to volunteer in War would be the data point
English

If I thought there was a very high chance blue could get over 50% IRL, I would vote blue and save the bluecels (bless their hearts). Perhaps this could happen in a high trust ethnostate. But in America I guarantee you you're never getting close to 50% blue, in which case i'm not needlessly committing suicide and thus voting red.

It was fascinating to read where it sourced its basis for the answer it gave you, and how it made assumptions based on others moralizing vanity.
“The “blue or die together” romanticism only feels virtuous in safe, wealthy, low-stakes environments where the worst realistic outcome is “society gets a bit more distrustful.””
English

@runequantum @IterIntellectus Here I got your grok to flip hard by removing the modern moralizing and grounding it in the real world experiment… grok.com/share/c2hhcmQt…
English

@ivishaltejwani I feel bad every time someone asks for a PC at work. How do they live in such a shallow world where they've never experienced a good/functional computer?
English

@JuliJules_ @waitbutwhy It’s funny to watch you paint such a vivid picture of me in your mind. It really does illustrate my point perfectly
English


@JuliJules_ @waitbutwhy Truly you’d find me charming. I’m not sure I’d find you that though.
English

@MoranRespecter @waitbutwhy I didn't know any of the nazis personally but i do call them evil and i do so with you too
English

@MrHydeRager @waitbutwhy Yes/no - do selfish people exist in the world?
English

@MoranRespecter @waitbutwhy If you vote red, you're selfish. Bare minimum. Scales all the way up to complex pathological sociopathy, but at the very least, it's a selfish choice.
English

@MrHydeRager @waitbutwhy It’s grounded in reality and not delusion. Still out here projecting things about the red though…
