You barely know her, and there's tons of drama already. imagine how its gonna be a few months in. Also, its funny how I've never heard a girl say it was her fault in a bad relationship. it's always the bf that's abusive, or whatever. It's always his fault, never hers.

@Carl-Richard I dont see that version as anything special. if its too obvious, it loses its magic. What makes the original so interesting to me is that many people call it an IQ test or say that people who choose blue are stupid, w/o realizing that it’s really more of an awareness (consciousness) test. It’s about how quickly you recognize that it isn’t just about your own survival. There will always be people pressing blue without fully understanding the situation (toddlers, children, or individuals with disabilities) and once you realize that, there shouldnt be any hesitation. It becomes a question of saving lives vs allowing people to die. How could you go on with your life knowing that so many people died because of decisions like yours? What would the world even look like if only people who chose red survived? Almos half the population would be gone. Now imagine a different scenario that changes things completely: you and your 2 best friends go into a room, without prior discussion, to vote. What do you choose? Blue requires only 2 votes, while red requires all 3. otherwise, one of you dies. The game turns into recursive thinking: “what do they think I’ll do? what do I think they think I’ll do?” @IslandWild Yeah if you assume other people think the same way you do and that they wont defect. A lot of people only care about their own survival, literally not giving a fuck about anyone else, even going as far as saying that if you press blue, you deserve to die. But good luck trying to tell them they’re wrong and that you’re right. Some people will literally say, “If everyone presses red, nobody will die,” as if that were realistically possible. Out of 8 billion people, that is literally impossible.

Yeah, we should all have a third option to choose: “I don’t know, because it’s unrealistic to think about it without having a real stake in it.” That way, we can avoid making decisions when we’re not certain enough to do so, and then accomplish.... what exactly? maybe you mentioning the gun is the problem here? maybe if you were put to sleep w/o pain, in bliss, then you could decide easily.

People who don't want to pick, or don't know what they would pick = red button

@Carl-Richard Its not the same at all. doesnt make sense to compare these two. Lemme explain why. "If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives." Just reading this sentence makes you realize that a lot of ppl would press the blue button because of this, not realizing what it actually means. they would be too quick to judge and just press the blue button (along with children etc). and the rest (maybe only 20-30% of the remaining people) just to need to realize what I just said here to make the right choice (pressing blue) in order for nobody to die (to make it 50%+). so the way something is written or said is very, very important in these kinds of experiments. imagine it if was said like this: "If every1 presses the red button, nobody dies, if less than 50% press the blue button, every1 who pressed the blue button dies" or something like that. then you're fucked if you try to push the blue button just to help those who made a mistake survive, because you wouldn't have enough support from others.

@Carl-Richard I would do the right thing. nothing more to say here. Trump pushes the red button, Jesus presses the blue one.

I'm rather dead than to live in a world populated only by red button pressers.

"every1 in the world has to take a private vote..." i dont even know why you focused so much on the results on X, instead of focusing on which button to press in a scenario that the tweet was about. You didn't directly say which to press, but its clearly seen from your posts what you would do.

just admit that you were wrong, nothing wrong with that. you will get more points by doing that, than by doubling down. making scenarios like "if we assume everybody understands..." is just stupid.

@Carl-Richard I thought you knew how polls worked on x. I shared the results to show how ppl decided, but you should have assumed you were pressing the button w/o knowing. thats the problem with your post regardless of the results shown or not shown. if you expect 8 billion ppl to press the red button, then some1 else is retarded, no offense.

@integral well written. If Leo pushed the red button, it would go against everything he teaches, so he’d better shut down his YT channel and this forum.

@Carl-Richard Everyone in the world presses it. Maybe think about it before judging ppl that hard.

Which button would a highly conscious human being press?
