Not fun at parties. Not good with people. Social Democracy. Converse lots in others' replies. Shitposter. Follow at your peril.

@lymanstoneky It isn't the same scenario. Many people will push the blue button. Almost nobody will jump. The scenario is fundamentally changed. You add a powerful incentive to push red. If you add to the button situation that if you die, you die in some horrible fashion, it changes things.

I think the strongest argument for blue button is that if even like 30% or 40% press blue (but <50%), that's basically an apocalypse scenario, total societal collapse and you'll probably die soon anyways. But imo this goes beyond the main hypothetical?

These are the two best reframings of the button question I’ve seen. They’re both essentially the same concept, but one makes blue the easy choice and the other makes red the easy choice. Sorry, I just find this thought experiment fascinating.

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?

@Phantom_TheGame You don't want this idea spread in advance. That will change the outcome. But when you get to the point of actually voting, it won't change the outcome. The idea is influential. The act isn't.

JUST IN: President Trump reacts to WH Correspondents' Dinner shooting, posting: "This event would never have happened with the Militarily Top Secret Ballroom currently under construction at the White House. It cannot be built fast enough!"

The fact that this poll has been done several times and blue keeps winning should influence peoples' choices. Reds should take it into account, but I suspect whatever their outward justification, their motivations are mostly just self-preservation and so it won't.

The real world result would be different. Many blues would choose red. Some reds would go blue. Not sure red would win. There'd certainly be a non-zero, potentially large, group of blues. Avoiding a world of people that chose red knowing that is real motivation to go blue.

@AbeLopezAuthor "Rational people know intrinsically that everyone should press red, it eliminates any question of anyone dying" Choose red to save yourself. Fine. That everyone would pick red is an impossibility. It is not available as justification.

Rational people know intrinsically that everyone should press red, it eliminates any question of anyone dying Irrational (emotionally-driven) people will be compelled to press blue because “it’s the right thing to do” And the more you try to convince them otherwise the more they’ll dig in

IF your goal is for no one to die (note: this is NOT everyone's goal), then it's just a matter of statistical probabilities. It's far more likely for 51% to pick blue than it is for 100% to pick red, but both scenarios have the end result of no one dying. So, to them, they're picking the better odds, I suppose.

@NCyotee Just make up a definition of high trust society that includes such classic paradises as the wild wild west and dystopian wastelands.

Most people say they want affordable housing. What they usually mean is: “I want my kids to be able to buy a house, but I also want my house to go up 8% a year forever, and I definitely do not want a fourplex near me.” That is the Canadian housing crisis in one sentence.

Did Trump stage another assassination attempt to justify/promote his precious golden ballroom?
