Which Button Are You Pressing?

Which button would a highly conscious human being press?

The poll is stupid if you can see the results before it is closed.

Anyways, if you're rational and not retarded, you would hope everyone presses the red button (just for their own sake), because then everybody survives regardless, and regardless of how many pushes the button, you will survive. But of course there is always one retard who doesn't understand this (or they misclicked, or their cat ran across the keyboard, or an asteroid hit their WiFi router and it sent a signal to click the wrong button). So if you're willing to bet that more than 50% of people are willing to potentially sacrifice themselves in order to save one or more retards / unlucky people (or they are simply retarded or unlucky themselves), then go ahead, push blue.

And if the poll results above is an accurate representation of the level of retardation or unluck we're dealing with, then maybe you should push blue (but a 3.4% margin is pretty slim). But if you don't have access to that information, you would have to gamble on the level of retardation or unluck of people on Twitter, or do some research into it and relevant facets like reading comprehension, statistical understanding, misclick rates. Then you would also have to adjust the numbers according the real life situation of people encountering a poll and being hopefully informed more rigorously that this is truly life or death. And that removes like 90% of the fun or realism/authenticity of these kinds of polls, because they are not presented in a context that is similiar to the probable real assumed context.

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

I don't understand this logic. Most people don't understand the question and don't understand the problem, vast majority. They're going to pick based on what feels right to them on vibe. They're not doing any logical thinking, problem solving or statistical thinking.

• It comes down to how people feel about others, do they think everyone else is going to screw them then they're going to press red. 
• If they feel like everyone is going to be sensible and we're all going to work together, then they're going to press blue.

 

It's about how they relate to others in the environment.

identification. Red is a private statement that you'll save yourself even if it means others die. Blue is a private statement that You rather work as a team than survive at others' expense.  Someone who fundamentally expects defection presses red because they expect others to defect.

In terms of pure Game Theory you're also wrong, because a large amount of people are going to press blue, real game theory is going meta, and calculating what people will actually do, not what is most rational to do.

It's highly irrational to think everyone's going to be rational. 😂

@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.
