@MasterTimBlais The only scenario where anything bad happens is if the wrong number of people vote red. There's only two good endings, one, where between 50 to 100% of people pick Blue, and the other where 100% of people vote red.

so i'm glad it all worked out
with the 🔴🔵 buttons i mean
the reds saved themselves
the blues saved the selves that they themselves put in danger
everybody lives
good ending
English
@akuna_kun Oh, you want to save everyone? It's a lot easier to do that with blue, than with red.

Why dont everyone press red and no one press blue
MrBeast@MrBeast
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.

@liliceberg1of1 @FondOfBeetles @introvertedme3 @MrBeast You've never spoken with a Chinese person about culture in China if you think that. Hilarious.

@introvertedme3 @FondOfBeetles @MrBeast "Lot's of kids ain't making it, I'm afraid".
...Or, like, you could hit the button that saves the f**king kids?! This isn't hard.
English
@FondOfBeetles @MrBeast Firstly, would they??
Secondly...lots of adults wouldn't know/realize that
Lots of kids ain't making it, I'm afraid

@SeeChrisDo @BuckyDucky2 @PhDPersuasion @waitbutwhy I don’t think you’re making a sound argument. Watch, I can do the same thing:
But nobody has to push red and nobody should. If nobody pushes red, nobody dies.
It’s still accurate.

Few things:
A WoW that is about WAR - conflict, struggle, risk, reward, achievement. This is what WoW is all about.
"There must always be a Lich King." I wanted an expansion to go back and talk about how there is always a Lich King and take that story much further. So much more to be told here!
Spending far more time on raids and new ideas for the CORE gaming audience vs. the casuals.
And finally, WoW 2 instead of the same WoW 1 expansions over and over re-skinned.
For 10 or so years, just don't have the team for that anymore. It's changed so much since the Kaplan/others days.

@kittredge667871 @Typerighting 100% this. I’d actually give a shit about retail if this was the theme being explored.
English
@Typerighting No, the idea is good. People love the Lich King, they love Wrath.
They don't love talking dragons, they don't love talking rock people, they don't love cave elves.
Your opinion is completely valid.. for you. But it doesn't mean his ideas are somehow invalid.

For real he just thought of a worse version of Shadowlands.

@BuckyDucky2 @PhDPersuasion @waitbutwhy You asked why someone would vote blue. I’m saying it’s because I don’t think only of myself.
English
@BuckyDucky2 @PhDPersuasion @waitbutwhy I’m not saying it’s immoral. I’m saying that as written above it literally doesn’t include others in the model. The model is self centered IE narcissistic.
Can you tell me how that isn’t the case?
Again, I’m not saying it’s immoral to be narcissistic.

@RacialFeminist @Gravantus You’re right but maybe not in the way you think…

@Gravantus The whole debate on free will is entirely the result of people not understanding what free will actually is.

@morallawwithin Everyones given a pre-predicted choice to push a fat man, causing them to fall on a red button & block a train from hitting a blue button
if <50% of the buttons pressed were blue then all non-pushers will be killed by lightning & immediately replaced by a clone w/ their memories
English
Everyone in the world will get to press one of two buttons. Yesterday, a super-accurate predictor predicted how it would turn out.
If you press red, you will certainly survive.
If you press blue, then you will live if and only if it was predicted that >50% would choose blue.

@Aella_Girl @AmendolaPrime How do we get an invite link? Would enjoy being a part of it!

On glosso, you can rate your friends against each other in wars (e.g. most autistic, most 'mommy', kiki/bouba, etc), and they get an elo. My elo is very high in several flattering war types I don't think I should be high on, and I think this is probably because I'm high status in my local group. This freaks me out though - I suspect people are falsely viewing me as better along some axis because of some type of... power/popularity halo effect going on, and I did not realize the extent to which this was affecting perceptions of me
English
@Aella_Girl It’s early but it looks like you found an effect here, and I have no idea how…
English
@DellAnnaLuca @mrnonsapiens @MaryCarmenOrd The argument is that in a realistic scenario people are much less internet brained and game theory oriented. Secondly, people on twitter disproportionately represent individualistic cultures. Most people from E/SE Asia are slamming blue in a heartbeat I suspect.
English
@mrnonsapiens @MaryCarmenOrd What’s the argument for which, with their life on the line, people would be more likely to choose blue as compared to when their life is not on the line?
English
People are posting the results of a 58/42 poll as evidence most people would choose blue.
But once we factor in that people act differently when their life is actually on the line, that’s for me evidence that red is the choice that maximizes lives saved.

@ZPostFacto The discourse soured significantly after the polls closed I’ve found.
English
I am so happy this red/blue thing happened. Twitter is so back. I love to argue about completely useless theoretical stuff, and although i see some chodes drawing parallels to contemporary politics I'm pleasantly surprised that its been reasonable uncommon.
English
@T1t1danslasauce @SSnuffalupagus @DeepDishEnjoyer This!! I don’t see people making this point often. But I think most Twitter users have no idea how much more individualistic Twitter is than the majority of the human population. I’m not saying that’s a good thing, it’s just a fact.
English
@SSnuffalupagus @DeepDishEnjoyer I think people lie in both « camps ».
However the only poll we have are overwelmingly blue and giving that modt voters are US citizen known for their deep individualism i think blue for a worldwide vote is an easy sell.
English
here's the last thing i'll say about the red/blue button debate. we now know that when polling ended, blue ended up winning.
knowing this, isn't one going around trying to convince people to vote red unethical? absent of this proselytizing, people believe in a high trust society
English
@SSnuffalupagus @DeepDishEnjoyer That’s true, but it’s also true that hyper online people think in more abstract ways than less online people (see The Righteous Mind).
I think when you include real people, especially those from collectivist cultures (China and SE Asia) the results get more blue.
English
@DeepDishEnjoyer Don't you think people lie since the Twitter poll isn't real life?
English
@MurkaDurkah I don’t think you know much of about Chinese culture if you’re saying that. You think it’s more likely they’ll vote based on internet brained theories and current geopolitical rivalries, and not millennia of collectivist culture? Good luck with that.
English
All the virtue signaling idiots saying "I'd pick Blue bc I'm a heckin wholesome person" believe the world is like their discord server or local pickleball club.
You think China/Africa/India is picking Blue? If so you're a complete moron.

English
@AnoniMo27336747 @MurkaDurkah Just anthropologically I’m really interested to see how Chinese people vote on this one. I think we’ll actually find that the individualistic take is far more rare there, and not for any of the internet-brained reasons being discussed.
I’m not saying that’s a good thing.
English
@MurkaDurkah Blue buttoners would find out once Eastern Europe, China, India and Pakistan start voting.
I can see India now "Someone tell the Pakistani's to press the blue button."
