Yeah it’s like going with the statistical assumption that there will be people that push both colors, blue is best. Especially because it only requires 50% of the population to save everyone. If you ran the experiment, more people would survive if blue won than if red won. Red is spiritually Israeli.

So it’s common sense. If you choose red then you’re garunteed to live either way. It also makes no sense to call it “suicidal” to chose red when the only choice you could make that could result in your death is choosing BLUE. And to gamble on half of the country not being selfish pricks isn’t something an intelligent person would stake their lives on. Especially when, again, the smartest option is to choose red IF you value your life.

blue button ppl creating a problem that dosent have to exist. “guaranteed live” or “u might die but might not” like bruh who’s picking blue, everyone picks red no one dies. blue button is jumping off a bridge then asking for help instead of just crossing it, makes no sense

Personally if I picked red then I’d feel responsible for killing someone and I’d rather die than have that happen

When everyone else does it they're selfish pricks; when you do it, you're an intelligent pragmatist. Got it.

I think you read the prompt wrong. Not everyone survives when you press red. If less than 50% press blue, (Basically if a majority chose red), then everyone who picked blue dies. Meanwhile if more than 50% chose blue, then anyone who chose red dies. If no one chooses red everyone lives simply because the fact that it says that if more than 50% chose blue EVERYONE survives.

You want someone to die if you choose red, because why would you choose red for any other reason than you want to make red be higher than 50% so everyone who chooses blue dies.

Yes if everyone chooses red no one dies, however if only 90% choose red, then 10% of blue dies. However if 90% choose blue then no one dies

49% Blue/ 51% Red= 49% Die 30% Blue/ 70% Red= 30% Die 0% Blue/ 100% Red= Everyone lives. Only way when choosing red to live is if you are a minority, (less than 50%), or every single person chooses red.

I read it correctly, YOU read my comment incorrectly. I never said everyone survives if I press red. The likelihood of everyone choosing blue is virtually impossible. Man people are narcissistic. Even if I want to press blue, I know that 1) a lot of ppl don’t care about saving others so they’ll choose red regardless & 2) I cannot know how many people have selected what, so the only way to garuntee that I don’t die for no reason is to choose red.

For your second comment, you don’t understand the prompt. After this explanation I won’t be responding further since I have a low tolerance for stupid shit tbh. Red doesn’t have to be higher than 50% for a red pusher to love either way. If less than 50% vote red then all reds live. If more than 50% vote red then all reds live. It really comes down to voting based on what you think others will vote for. If you don’t care about your life at all then press blue and gamble.

If you care about your own life then choosing red is the one option that makes sense. It’s not difficult logic to follow so if yall don’t understand then that’s honestly sad but whatever. Personally I would vote red and pray that either everyone votes red or that over 50% votes blue, but I wouldn’t throw my life away on something that’s not garunteed.
