Why is this idiot test so controversial?
Pressing the Red button guarantees survival and has zero downsides. Everybody in this experiment can press the red button and be fine.
By comparison, the blue button only permits survival contingent on more than half of the participants choosing the option that risks their lives and promises them nothing in return for it.
It could have been more interesting if there was a reward for having a blue majority, but there isn't
It's just stupid for anyone to chose blue and it's stupid for this idiot test to be such a huge deal that shills need to astroturf every possible board with it.

pressing the blue button is so retarded. Pressing red gives you a 100% chance of surviving. In fact, the ones who pressed the blue button deserves to die just because they are low IQ virtue signaling faggots.

>>534132508
What else is coded red and blue?
I don't think it is irrational to draw a conclusion that this is comparable to modern politics you have team red who is only looking out for themselves. Blue team is trying to have everyone's best interest at heart, but it only works everyone is on the same team.
>>
>>534132508
Blue button pushers are thinking through an emotional and social lens, they're picking what they perceive to be the best choice that would guarantee their social status remains high, because in their mind, if they press the blue button, then that means they're good people, and if they're good they can have friends and whatnot. Whereas red button pushers are thinking using logic. Logically it makes sense to press the red button, but most people are insecure retards who only care about what people think of them, so they'll happily sacrifice a large portion of the population just to virtue signal to their normie friends for social clout.

Interesting how some of the blue button apologist wish this were the case. In this imaginary aftermath, the bluefags would be out for blood from the people who pressed Red (no matter who they are, mind you, so it was never about people "mistaking" or whatever) instead of acting in retaliation against the organism that placed humankind in the buttom situation in the first place.

If you are mad that someone would pick red

You are not picking blue out of selfless heroism and just being a good person.

The memeflaggot is right. Jews work as a team, and even with small numbers and small human capital their still winning.

well, that just ruins the whole hypothetical because now half of all kids will die unless blue reaches 50%.

The button scenario is presented as if it just pops into existence for everyone at the same time and there is no time to discuss it with others.
There are people I care about who are pretty dumb and may get confused and press the blue button. I don't want them to die.
There are a lot of dumb people and a lot of people who care about them. And there is no actual threat to anyone's life in this hypothetical. That is why so many people want to press blue.
If they suddenly found themselves alone and presented with the buttons and no idea what anyone else was doing would everyone saying they'd pick blue actually risk their life? I doubt it. But some of them would.

Bullshit. You can't just correlated these things as if you knew each of those that picked blue.


>The supposed toddlers are not entitled to me saving them
Just say what you want to say, say it as it is, "let the toddlers die, I don't care about others", sure, you don't have the obligation of saving someone, but having the opportunity to do it and not taking it shows what kind of person you are, you're spiritually a kike.
>>
>>534140228
You still don't understand

You are not entitled to being saved
And the fact people won't save you makes you resentful, which drives the insane anger and rage you have towards someone picking red

You are the very definition of Nietzsche's slave morality.

>>534140274
Just keep in mind that every single one of those moralizing do-gooder blue's is actually a red if you move the threshold high enough. The moral arguments they use "you WOULDNT save a billion toddlers!?!?" is true all the way up to a 99% vote threshold.

How many of them do you think are pressing blue if you need 99% of people to press blue for everyone to survive, rather than 50%?

Blues are, in the majority resentful, entitled retards and absolutely full of shit
There ARE some blues that are genuinely altruistic, but that's not the majority of them and a blue who is genuinely altruistic doesn't rage that someone doesn't pick blue, it is simply accepted as part of their self sacrifice.

How do you force a toddler to push a button, in private? You wait forever until the baby alone in a booth and without communication to the outside (private), decides to push the button? And you're counting that all the toddlers will eventually?
Test is absolute nonsense.

I know it's the same person, that's what's disappointing. The question is only interesting if it only involves people who can make a concious choice. Adding in people who can't just turns this into a onesided bloodbath. I'd pick blue in this case, so would the majority of people who said they'd pick red under the original scenario.

How do you teleport everyone in the world to a private booth at the same time? It's a hypothetical. Presume those who don't vote within a time limit die anyway regardless of votes.

Instead of questioning the premise let's just accept that the toddler somehow thinks of a button and its pushed or whatever.
There's no need to change that circumstance

In fact let's suppose that in all thresholds 200 million babies will, for whatever reason, end up pressing blue.

But let's change the threshold from 50% needed, to 99% needed.

We haven't changed the moral arguments. There's still 200 million babies that'll die due to the button results. Every moral argument remains the exact same. You're all "bad people for not pushing blue"

Yet how many of these blue retards calling you evil, do you think are pushing blue at a 99% threshold?
Yeah, it's fucking none of them.

Every blue is actually a red when the risk gets high enough

not they're not. Only a red vote can lesson the impact of blues losing the suicide game of their own making. Which they most certainly will in any real scenario.

Sure, people's tolerance for risk is not unlimited. But even at 99% some people who fully understood the risk would still press it.
Someone with children may still press blue it fearing that their idiot children will press it and if the parent pressed red they would be partly responsible for killing their own child for example.
If you're a misanthropic loner who doesn't care about anyone else then even a small risk like a 5% threshold may be too much for you.

Correct.
In this hypothetical situation, the people would hypothetically be able to make a conscious choice, and all of them have access to the button.
A hypothetical about people teleporting to a button, but reader is expected to thing the question doesn't also pretend that everyone is able to make a conscious choice?
The creator of the meme is a huge ass faggot.
He needed to make his question specific, about which magic would happen (teleporting to the booth), which wouldn't (all people would be able to answer the question), and general rules (a time limit on voting, or they default to will die)

>>534140860
The 'best' outcome involves millions if not billions of deaths (red winning)

Some of them are genuinely a misguided altruist type

Others are doing it out of what they feel is altruisim, but betray that it's actually twisted self-interest (that they themselves don't understand), and you can tell this type by the fact they feel entitled to others picking blue with them.

The genuine altruists do not care if its a 99% chance of death
They do not care if they picked blue and everyone else picked red and they die
They do not get resentful at what other people chose or what the results are, they do not feel entitled to other people voting the way they do
Genuine altruism requires the peaceful acceptance of death

This describes a minority of blue voters

Most of the blue voters are twisted self-interest types that pick blue out of entitlement, and get angry out of resentment (because they feel red are traitors). Blues don't understand that they commit moral aggression by expecting other people to vote blue with them.

This is why blue is the inherently immoral choice.
Not wholly immoral, but the immorality is innate to the choice and dangerous. If you choose blue it has to be done with the full understanding of what you're doing lest you beget more evil.

There is no time to give anyone advice in this scenario. That is the issue. If it was announced that voting would commence in a month and there was time to explain what red and blue really are to dumb people that you care about then fine.
But there is not. And the scenario is presented in a way that is obviously intended to fool people into pushing blue.
What if I said after being teleported to the button room you will be teleported to meet your perfect romantic partner and if you're both alive you will receive $1,000,000. Would you consider pushing blue?
What if I told you that person is kind of dumb? Would that change anything?

>>534141682
Also the other element of innate evil in the blue choice is how it pushes a blue toward immoral actions to sway the undecided voters

If you are blue, you are locked into dying if less than 50% of others push blue.
What an incentive to force, not ask, other people to push blue

What terrorism wouldn't you do?
Kill reds first to show that blue is the safer option
Lie to undecided and misrepresent the real risks of the two choices
Spy on and monitor people to make sure they aren't reds
Kill any undecided that seems like they'll definitely pick red

and so forth

All born directly out of a blue locking his life to the blue choice

It is INNATELY EVIL

Picking blue requires a deep moral understanding to prevent the perpetuation of evil that most blues frankly do not have.

Do you think those numbers would be the same, when it's a real vote and people's lives are on the line?

>>534132508
Because this is exposing to people how immature the thinking of the left is and how bad their basic problem solving is.

They have an empathetic worldview of a child where they want to always pick what they view as the nice friendly option. What they see when reading that is nobody dies if a majority press the blue button. They won't press the red button as they view it as selfish to pick an option that has 0 consequences and ensures your survival if it means the blue voters could die. Its their suicidal empathy demonstrated in the simplest way possible.
>>
>>534132508
>It could have been more interesting if there was a reward for having a blue majority, but there isn't

Until someone pushes blue it is impossible for anyone to be killed thus blue pushers bear full responsibility for any subsequent deaths.

If it was reality it would be more like this.

If you vote Red: The world will start out more difficult as we address all of the real and systemtic problems, but if you vote red enough eventually the world will get much better. And every single Blue Voter will discriminate against you very hard.

If you Vote Blue. The world will get a lot more difficult, but you'll get hand outs for no reason at all by every other blue voter, if you vote blue long enough the system will collapse. Red voters won't do anything to you, but occasionally laugh for no reason at all.

Blue is "metastable" which is to say, it's inherently unstable. While red is always stable.

In evolutionary terms,
Blue only has to lose once and their genetics are extinct FOREVER
Even if there are some blues within the red genetics that pop back out in future generations, they will NEVER have a majority population after The Vote

Just based on evolution and natural selection alone, without even considering morality, the blue choice is an existential risk for the species and will genuinely wipe themselves out from existence given a long enough timeframe. It only takes it happening ONCE during ETERNITY which means it WILL happen.

The downside is that dumb people you care about may die and you will be partly responsible. Including possibly your children.
If you don't give a shit about anyone else in the world then there is no reason to ever pick blue.
If there is time to fully explain the scenario to everyone before voting and each person can be reasonably understood to be making an informed choice then it is entirely reasonable to pick red.
If there is no time and everyone is suddenly teleported into isolation and presented with this clearly manipulative question, and you have dumb people that you care about, then whether you pick blue or not will depend on your appetite for risk and whether you feel like you would be able to live without those dumb people knowing that in a very small way your choice contributed to their death.
It doesn't surprise me at all that misanthropic loners on 4chan will always press the red button. But I also understand why normalfags will sometimes press blue even when they fully understand the scenario.

Might wanna read who I'm replying to again. Red in the original assumed rules of the question has no downside. Red after retroactively applying the condition that kids and toddlers will also be faced with the button test means a red victory will inevitably kill billion of kids who didn't understand what they were doing. It goes from an interesting look into suicidal empathy and groupthink to another dime a dozen selfless or selfish moral question.

>>534142688
It is a bad thing. Viewing yourself as personally responsible for every life on earth also means you project that view onto others. Now it's everyone's responsibility to keep every single person safe at their own expense. This spirals into forcing others to help others and the helped grow complacent and dependent on the help, while the ones being forced to provide charity get bitter at the ones taking it and the ones forcing them to give it as they demand more and more.

You can't help everyone, and not everyone should be helped. Your priorities should be on helping those important to you, and others in turn will have the same priorities. Not having constant gibs from the entire world will make them self sufficient instead of dependent.

To put this in perspective, California is the state in america with the highest population of the whole 50. If the entire population of California pressed the blue button, it would not even swing 1% of the results. If another California with an identical population was carved out of the remaining world population and they also pressed the blue button, in other words two California's worth of blue button presses, they still would not be 1% of the total votes.

Not at all. The only people who have any responsibility for blue button people dying are the people who pressed the blue button. No one forced you to press the blue button, you chose to do it. You easily could have chosen to press the red button and then you wouldn't be dead.
Let's say someone puts a poison pill in front of you and says "If you eat that pill, you have a 50% chance of dying. But you don't have to eat it. You could also choose to not eat the pill and have a 0% chance of dying." If you pick up that fucking poison pill and eat it and then die, it's 100% your responsibility.
All of this bullshit about having to save the other dumbasses who also chose to eat the poison instead of choosing to not eat it is an irrelevant red herring.

Considering that this is a worldwide decision, it is improbable that there will be enough coordination (especially since no one knows what others are voting) to guarantee 100% red. The probability that everyone will vote the same way is minuscule. Any strategy that depends on perfect unanimity is likely to fail.
Therefore, in order to save everyone, the choice that stands a better chance against probable coordination mismatch is voting blue, since it only requires over 50%, not a full 100%.
Voting blue requires only a threshold of more than 50%, not total agreement. This makes it significantly more robust to coordination mismatch, since a certain amount of disagreement can occur without causing total failure.
However, this advantage only holds if we expect that most people will also recognize this reasoning and act accordingly. If enough people think pessimistically, they may choose red for self-preservation, causing the blue option to fail.
Voting blue offers a better chance of saving everyone if people are inclined to choose the more coordination-tolerant option.

Everyone was forced to press a button. The consequences for pressing the button are explained in an obviously misleading way that will fool dumb people, unlike your pill example.
If you are not also a retard you will understand that it is designed to trick dumb people into picking blue.
If you care about one or more people that you feel are dumb enough to be tricked into picking blue then you may also choose blue in an attempt to help them.
If you don't care about anyone who is dumb, which essentially means you don't care about anyone given how many dumb people there are, then you have no reason to pick blue. That's also fine.

I think the reason why it's so interesting is because intelligence isn't always correlated with doing the right thing.

Decent argument but it is a big difference. If nothing else it's a much higher potential death toll added. As for the comprehension argument, there's simply no way to select for it outside of some divine entity or supercomputer that could weed out anyone under a certain arbitrary cutoff point of intelligence. With retards, kids and toddlers it's alot more clear cut. We know that they aren't done developing and just can't properly understand what the buttons mean.

Ultimately it just comes down to the fact that I wouldn't risk my life to save alot of fully grown adults that made the concious choice to play turbo death gamble roulette. I would risk it to save billions of kids who probably picked based on their favorite color.

And that's your choice but I clearly showed that there is practically no difference, only age, in the dillemma that you're having with children. It's a completely subjective preference for saving people's lives.

>A prisoners dilemma has cooperation as the optimal outcome
This is true here

Technically if you know that everyone is choosing Blue, you actually get higher utils just from choosing red yourself, because higher amounts of security, knowing that if enough people deviate you still don't die. It's kind of a complicated point, but it makes this still hold true here.
>and mutual betrayal as a much much worse outcome than just being betrayed
Still true here because obviously red is a valuable choice only if you know everyone else is choosing blue, but looses relative utils as more and more participants choose red.
>There is no penalty if too many people pick red.
There is, however, in this game, just as in the prisoner's dillemma, a lack of any prize at all, whereas the value in the situation comes from saving the lives of people who didn't think about it constructively, and who might be otherwise good people. These would give positive utils for a good person, who could constructively think.

I think you're wrong, I think it's a prisoner's dillemma on steroids.

>Picking blue is objectively bad for the biological advancement of humanity.
Blue is the reason we even have a civilization at all. They are the risk takers. Blues were the hunters in hunter-gatherer societies while reds were literal berrypickers. Thats where red men could be found in primitive societies, next to the women gathering berries, while the bluechads were risking their lives by hunting mammoths. Reds are just failed cowardly men. They dont have the fearless warrior mindset bluechads have. Fearing death is such a childish thing

>And that's your choice but I clearly showed that there is practically no difference, only age, in the dillemma that you're having with children.
It's not age, it's whether it's a deliberate concious choice. Age is just the metric I'm using to gauge whether the decision is made with full knowledge of the consequences since I'm not omnipotent and can't determine whether or not someone truly understands a question. If it were limited to say age 20 and up, even if there are bound to be a few who don't understand it, the number would be massively less than if we chucked all the babies in there.

>to choose red is to be against people living in humanity.
Red is choosing to not risk your own survival. Blue is risking it. What matters is how much the person thinks their life is worth.

>I think I would prefer to save lives where I can, and since I have already seen that most people would choose blue
They chose blue on a primarily American poll with zero stakes. I don't trust that would hold true in an actual scenario and would go with red, since I'm not a fan of suicide. But if we were to include kids in the mix, then I do think that would tip the scales in blues favor, and I'd vote on that side to hopefully get the win.
>>
Here's the real theoretical for blue button pushers. If you were the last person to press the button and knew that more people pressed red than blue, would you press blue?
>>
>>534143890
The outcome of whether 50% was reached is unknown. You voted for a chance of it happening. Moreover if there was a live counter and red was winning everyone would be slamming red like a stock market crash because nobody wants to throw their life away for a slim hope of a reversal.

Also there is a massive diffusion of responsibility, the result is dependent on humanity and not your individual input. Well, except for you dying if you pressed blue.

>>534143790
No, it's a completely flawed and broken version of the Prisoner's Dilemma.
In a true prisoner's dilemma, there is an additional reward for the people who choose the "cooperative" choice if both people choose it.
To make this a true prisoner's dilemma, you would need to change the premise in some way.

I'll simplify it down to just two people A and B and the various outcomes for them choosing Red or Blue
A | B - outcome
R | R - A and B both live, but are each fined a million dollars
R | B - A lives, B dies
B | R - A dies, B lives
B | B - A and B both live, AND each get rewarded a million dollars
In the prisoner's dilemma, choosing the cooperative option has a better outcome than the selfish one if EVERYONE is cooperative, but a worse outcome if you are the sucker who chose to be cooperative while the other person was selfish.

But for the button press game, it's not the same:
A | B - outcome
R | R - A and B both live
R | B - A lives, B dies
B | R - A dies, B lives
B | B - A and B both live
In this situation, there's zero benefit to ever choosing the "cooperative" option over the "selfish" option. Anyone who chooses Red is guaranteed to get the best possible outcome, regardless of what the other person does. Anyone who chooses Blue always gets a worse outcome, except for the situation where everyone takes a risk to try to cooperate. But even then, you still only get the same outcome as if everyone had chosen the "selfish" Red option. The way the Red vs Blue button game is set up, there is NO logical reason to ever choose blue.
>>

Because blue chronically gets more votes, I understand people as a whole are retarded but this is just a major slap in the face at just how retarded they are, it's insane, hit the red button, everybody hit the red button wtf

If I pick red I get to live (win) and also it means people who were retarded will die (also win) I'm not seeing any good reason to pick blue. In the tiger analogy, the tiger is blue's own retardation, I'm not risking my life to try to fight that

Your odds of going back in time 5 years and guessing your entire post number without checking the recent post numbers is 80 times higher than your odds of being the decisive vote in this button pressing game. I dont think you blue people realize how unlikely your savior fantasy is.
Go ahead and try to predict your own next post number, even with the context of the current pattern, you wont be able to do it. You would bet your fucking life for these odds instead of just picking red like a rational individual.
>>534144562
No, you still dont understand. There needs to be a penalty for mutual betrayal to incentivize cooperation. The classic prisoners dilemma is nothing like this button choice because betrayal has no downside or risk.
>Still true here because obviously red is a valuable choice only if you know everyone else is choosing blue, but looses relative utils as more and more participants choose red.
Red is the ONLY way to survive if everyone else picks red.

>>534144887
>In a true prisoner's dilemma, there is an additional reward for the people who choose the "cooperative" choice if both people choose it.
This is the stupidest point in the entire world. If you were correct, then why is everyone discussing the moral and ethics behind this? Because there are human lives involved and they are about to die because not enough people pressed red.

At least we both agree it's a prisoner's dillemma, but please see my post for a more in-depth analysis of why blue is an intuitive choice

It actually depends on what you're optimizing for. If you optimize for your own survival, red is the obvious way to go. If you optimize for the number of people who survive this game, then blue is actually the way to go.
>>
>>534144492
Would you pick blue if you needed 99% of other people to pick blue?
>>
>>534144976
>Red is the ONLY way to survive if everyone else picks red.
I would compromise with you here and say that the relative value of red is like an inverted bell curve (or cosine wave). The value of red is high if most people are choosing blue, but the value of red goes down as the distribution closes in on 50/50, and then the value of red goes far higher than where it initially started as more people choose red.

Again, this is only if you know the distribution before you make the choice, and you can only estimate based on known human behavior.

Sociopaths all call this an iq test when it's actually an empathy test (and they're failing it). I say sociopath but really it's probably a range of deficient experience of emotion that these people have, only some are actual sociopaths. Also interesting that they're using red and blue as colors, I think that kinda distorts the whole 'expirement' considering those are so charged with meaning and team identities already.

If you have red button pressers in your life you may want to be a little more cautious around them as they are likely the type of person to take advantage of you in some way (it's your fault if you let them, is how they think).

Blue is the moral choice and the correct one. But the people administering the test would execute the blue voters even if it was 99% (which, in fact, is ideal for them). For that reason I'd pick red, so I can live to oppose the regime.
That they're releasing the question now is just to facilitate the debate so that when they actually do do it, the reactionaries who pick red on instinct will have had the time to realise that they should pick blue for the sake of their fellow man and thus there will be more deaths, and they can say they did it to themselves for picking blue.

If we assume that everyone picks a button randomly, the probability of you being a tie-breaker is comb(x,x/2)/2**x, and therefore the expected number of people you'd either save or kill by picking either red or blue is comb(x,x/2)/2**x * x/2.

Remember:
Red and undecided people
Are NOT obligated to help you, in any way, shape, or form.

And yet blue only "won" by a few percentage points, it would only take a swing of 1-2% to cause mass panic and a cascade towards red. Billions could die all for some virtue signalling. In fact the only reason it's even an issue is because people like you present morality as inherently risky, a purely fabricated morality that is risky only because people encourage it to be so.

If the mechanism was identical and them problem was presented as "press red or die" then not only does each individual get the choice of voluntary an hero, but everybody who wishes to live gets to live. No risk, no false morality, no encouraging people to make risky decisions for no net benefit.

Do you stay voting blue and hope just 3% of the original reds flip their vote to blue in order to save the 46% of humanity that would have died, or do you change your vote to red since blue lost the original vote and thus make it harder for blue to win?

If everyone thought that way then why are people always going blue?

You see, this game has 2 very strong equilibrium points. If everyone thinks everyone is choosing red then everyone chooses red obviously. But if its even remotely close to 50/50, then people will start choosing blue. This means that typically blue would win. Blue is a strong equilibrium point because you can't have large enough variations at the 50/50 point to get to the strong red equilibrium point, the desire to save thousands or millions of human lives is too strong at that point.

Even on 4chan, where you see people choosing red nonstop in threads, the polls are almost split down the middle, proving that blue is a strong equilibrium point.

people like you who moralfag over stuff like this have never actually lifted a finger to help someone in real life. you have never accomplished or endured anything of note, and have never sacrificed or expended effort in service to your fellows. that's why you're so caught up in the moral superiority of this choice; it's the only thing you could comfort yourself with.

It's just a test on how people think about eachother. People who choose red are pretty much only thinking of themselves, while blues think of others to a fault.

That's what I mean, the poll is split down the middle and obviously in real life and on 4chan, showing that 4channers have a heart and soul.

It doesn't matter that blue didn't get over 50%, of course I lament to see a rather large portion die like that, but in general, it just proves that if there is a small variation away from the 50/50 pure split, then people will still choose blue in an attempt to save thousands/millions of human lives.

It's just fascinating stuff really.

Picking the blue button is the only choice that can lead to humans being harmed. If everybody pressed the red button everybody would be safe. Red is the correct choice. I'd pick red because it is logical. Blue is the only choice that can harm people.

I vote blue again since it gained a huge amount of points in a short time.

You’re treating this like my vote only affects me, but the outcome depends on collective behavior. Which kind of coordination failure is more likely?
Voting red only ‘works’ if an overwhelming majority independently chooses self-preservation, which is a very strict and fragile condition.
Voting blue succeeds as long as a majority converges on the same reasoning, even if many people don’t.
The real question isn’t "does my vote matter", it’s "which outcome is more likely to emerge given imperfect coordination"?
Is it more likely that people fragment in their choices, or that they overwhelmingly default to red?
The fragmentation is more likely, which makes blue the more robust strategy.

>i dont want to live in a red-presser world anyway
i dont actually want to live in a world either where most people cannot model other povs or think beyond first order hypotheticals. its not the fact that you press red but how fucking maximally sure you are about having seen angles and reasons for any other choice. you barely engage with the question just harp on endlessly about your entry lvl game theory insight and create retarded analogies of burning buildings and shock collars. ironically the ability you lack is what is needed to sort coordination problems on a civilizational scale. someone might vote blue just based on that, endorsing the kind of world he wants to live in
>>
>>534147313
Again, you're presenting blue as a false morality. "Trying to save..." But any attempt to pick blue causes death. In fact the ONLY way to cause death is to pick blue. Blue is not the moral choice
>>
>>534147181
>That isn't risk aversion, that's courting the possibility of mass genocide just for virtue points.
The cognitive dissonance is unreal. You sure it isnt red that is killing everyone? But no, instead shame the blues for trying to save people. Expecting that 100% of people will just press red is retarded. You been shown time and time again that wont happen. Its not like 6 dudes pressing blue.

>voting red only works if an overwhelming majority choose it
No actually it works perfectly fine regardless of every other button press on the planet. I didnt enter the woodchipper
>>
>>534147667
But the goal is to save as many people as possible (everyone).
>>
>>534147640
The only way this problem can result in death is by pressing blue. If this causes you to feel shame, maybe stop choosing death
>>
>>534147313
Imagine being so retarded you think the polls would reflect the real life results
>>
>>534147775
And once again, your effort towards that goal as an individual is pathetically small. If you convinced the entirety of California to vote for your ideal, and every californian complied, you would not have shifted the vote by even 0.5%

It doesnt. But its funny how redfags keep claiming their choice has no culpability at all. One button kills other people and the other doesnt. Its simple.

THEYRE VOTING BLUE FOR A FUCKING POLL ON FUCKING TWITTER. ITS NOT REAL.

What would you lose, anon, if you pushed the red button but most people pushed blue?

Well, no, it kills the person who pushed it. Did you read the options?

You're correct.

Pressing blue causes people to die. Anybody who presses blue is advocating for death. The only reason anybody is at risk of dying is because of blue pushers.

You're both right and wrong. If you and 3 other people choose blue over red and there is a 2 vote differential, that means that 3 point difference has saved everyone's lives.

It could make a huge difference, but if only 1 person chooses blue and 2 of them thought like you, that 1 person has killed himself.

But high risk, high reward, the issue for you, and a lot of selfish assholes, is that the reward is people's lives.

i can understand how this makes sense to you. the asymmetry here is that you cant see other povs
>>
>>534147313
At no point during an internet poll did your self-preservation instinct kick in, the one that makes it near impossible for you to jump over the guardrail and to your death without suffering from mental illness.

If the scenario were actual, that instinct would be going into overdrive if you saw the red bar grow a single pixel.
>>
>>534148002
No pouring grease down your drain is straight up a 1:1 of this "logic" problem. If only you do it, it's your problem. If a majority does it, everyone has to address it. The same destructive behavior but a different destructive act, just one the good person™ crowd would agree you shouldn't do.
>>
>>534132508
>Everybody in this experiment can press the red button and be fine.
No, that’s false. Pressing the red button potentially makes you complicit in the death of blue pressers. You pressing the button raises the chance that others die. You can’t control what others do and there’s no way of knowing if everyone pressed the red button and thus be fine. So the blue button is the only one that does not result, for certain, in the deaths of others. Red pressers are sociopaths.
What this experiment has convinced me is not that people are immoral but that they are fucking stupid as red pressers literally can’t understand this very simple logic. It’s not like they’re proud sociopaths, they just can’t follow logic.
>>
>>534148108
>>534148155
Other POVs don't need to be considered when selecting red, you're right, because other POVs would have you believe that risking the lives of billions of people is the moral choice despite that "choice" being the only option that leads to death.

they're trying to make the meme a 'thing' and failing again and again. /pol/ is ground zero for new types of information warfare. our adversaries are running low on resources so they need to make sure the weapon is effective before moving it over to twitter. think of all the weird memes which have been spammed at this site only to completely disappear within a few weeks because they couldn't get any traction

If I went to the streets and held people at gunpoint presenting two buttons which had the options of them either being safe or a button which might cause me to come and kill them at a later date I'd have a 100% red pushes in an afternoon.

Which button would Jesus press?

>>534148408
Your scenario *directly* contradicts the original scenario. You are trying to create one where the person voting has any form of insight into other votes. The original scenario states clearly: everyone is compelled to vote and the vote is private. You have to make up a new scenario because you know you’re wrong.
In any case, I press blue because it would be immoral to be complicit in the death of others in order to assure my own survival. It’s no different than any other scenario where you are asked to kill innocents in order to assure your own survival. The moral choice is obvious.
