In the show FOR ALL MANKIND, they find life on Titan and say “this isn’t carbon-based life, like on earth! It’s methane-based life! We’ve found a whole second kind of life!”
I have bad news for the writers of this show about what methane is made of.

Maybe they should cut back on the pumpkin spice lattes 🤷♂️

Listen buddy. The vast majority of humanity is 70IQ. Literally unconscious.

Would you rather...
A. Be given $50,000 right now
B. Have 100 pitches to hit a HR off of Paul Skenes for $100 million

@bennotshapiro @sotruegrant @qQueueCue @burnthalies Please point out the words “instant” and “no communication”
English
@daniel_mccumber @sotruegrant @qQueueCue @burnthalies The prompt literally said instant, no communication, everyone who can understand the question (linguistically) votes...it's really fucking stupid for you to be this intentionally dense, then use that density to excuse yourself from the immorality of your own choices.
English
@cat_pretentious @qQueueCue @sotruegrant @burnthalies No that’s not my stance at all. There is a contradiction between what is possible, and what the question says must be done. Which means it’s impossible. You say that an absurdist interpretation must be taken, I say you’re missing the point. The question isn’t about saving babies.
English
@daniel_mccumber @qQueueCue @sotruegrant @burnthalies Because it says "has to". I am not changing anything from the original question. You're the one piling on what ifs and how's and whataboutisms. This I think is why the discourse overall talks past each other in many scenarios.
English
@cat_pretentious @qQueueCue @sotruegrant @burnthalies You’re still changing the question to suit how you feel. Why does it change in the direction that forces a vote from everyone somehow? Why not one where incapable voters aren’t involved? Both technically don’t fit with the original question. Which shows why this isn’t the point
English
@daniel_mccumber @qQueueCue @sotruegrant @burnthalies I see it and I have to accept the absurdism if I am to engage with the question faithfully. Otherwise I am changing the question to suit how I feel. I accept the absurdism to understand that everyone presses a button. I do not know how it is done, only that it is done, then vote.
English
@daniel_mccumber @qQueueCue @sotruegrant @burnthalies The question doesn't explain how, you have to accept absurdism in how a vote is counted. That's why I picked blue because I read everyone as everyone. I cannot knowingly let kids die because they like the sky. Abstainers also die in how red is written "Only those that chose red".
English
@cat_pretentious @qQueueCue @sotruegrant @burnthalies This is a choice between two buttons. And you’re completely right, it is a button push. And a subsection of “everyone” is a group of people that can’t press buttons. But the question says “everyone in the world has to take a private vote”. Do you see the contradiction?
English
@daniel_mccumber @qQueueCue @sotruegrant @burnthalies This isn't a choice, it's a button push. Somehow it happens. I didn't make the vote machine, but in this question it exists and it takes its vote from you by a button push in whatever way it needs to.
English
@cat_pretentious @qQueueCue @sotruegrant @burnthalies The question says “everyone votes”. If someone has their choice picked by chance that is not voting. Therefore not everyone can vote.
English
@cat_pretentious @qQueueCue @sotruegrant @burnthalies Bro retconned his own question 😭
It’s simply not possible for everyone to vote. What if someone was in a coma, or paralyzed from ALS? Also the babies. Having them pick randomly undermines the true spirit of the dilemma. It’s impractical to suggest absolutely everyone votes.
English
@Daniel86Cycles The blue voters role is that of the ones getting in a giant human eating blender of their own free will.
English
@daniel_mccumber It's not wording it's about what people's factual role in the problem is.
English
Okay: In this case, the red button is simply replaced with "Don't do that". This is NOT what the original question said. The original question required the active participation of the red button pushers. The equivalent scenario would have the red team **turning on the blender**.
Roko 🐉@RokoMijic
We're doing the "Blender" game again There is a large blender. Everyone in the world has to decide whether to step into the blender. If at least 50% of the people do step into the blender, it will be unable to overcome their inertia to get started, and everyone survives. If less than 50% of the people step into the blender, then they all get blended up into paste and die. People who do not step into the blender suffer no adverse effects. Would you step into the blender? (Blue=step into the blender, Red= don't do that)
English
The red and blue buttons is actually about how keeping the family unit strong keeps the world strong.
English
English
@daniel_mccumber @qQueueCue @sotruegrant @burnthalies The kids are literally forced into the burning building in the original scenario. That is why a lot of people who pressed blue, pressed blue.
English
People saying “what if the kids vote blue” “the question says everyone” are missing the point. It’s not possible for everyone to vote. People in comas? Infant babies? Severe ALS? The question is about trust and coordination, not demographic change. Just press red and don’t die.
English
English
@daniel_mccumber @sotruegrant @burnthalies If this was a real question with real stakes, how would people react? We cant know that. But what we DO know, is the question says EVERYONE. So therefore the consequences of the question would effect EVERYONE.
You shift the goalposts by pretending that everyone excludes children
English
@qQueueCue @cat_pretentious @sotruegrant @burnthalies We teach kids not to run into burning buildings. Teach them not to press the blue button. You seem to think kids are forced into the burning building. Just press red and move on with your day. The children thing isn’t even the point of the question.
English
@daniel_mccumber @cat_pretentious @sotruegrant @burnthalies Id jump in the blender to try and get children out of it.
"Fire fighters shouldn't run into a burning building to get kids out of it. If they run in, both the fire fighter and the child could die, if they don't then at least we know for sure the fire fighter will survive"
