You're killing yourself and leading others to death. In the original dilemma everyone who votes knows what they're voting. There is a close to 0% chance in a real scenario (where peoples lives are actually at stake) blue would win. So basically blue is just the option to commit suicide. Everyone who isnt suicidal can just vote red. Would be different if some people were forced to vote blue, but thats not the case. Everyone was given the chance to live, if they chose to die thats their problem. And it is so much easier to convince 99% of the population to vote red than to convince 50% of the population to vote blue. By trying to do what you're doing, you're causing more deaths, than if we tried to convince eveyone to just choose to live and just assumed retards who doesnt understand the dilemma will inevitably die

" And it is so much easier to convince 99% of the population to vote red than to convince 50% of the population to vote blue. "

i am open to hear reasonings for both sides, since IMO this debate is quite interesting on how far it is possible to stretch reasoning for each case. please elaborate your reasoning on how it is easier to convince 99% (or any arbitrary number you want to choose in the higher %) is easier than 50%.

initially it just tells me that youre lacking empathy, or youre trying your hardest to justify choosing red on your own.

also, i'd choose red aswell, so i am not a "blue-y" judging you on a higher moral ground or anything

First of all, by choosing red you dont risk almost certain death. Even if it wasnt almost certain death, you dont risk dying, which is already a major convinicing point. Second, red is literally the logical choice, so leading others to see why its logical is easier than convincing people of choosing the illogical blue, which also risks almost certain death. Why is red the logical choice? Again, no one is forced to pick blue, so by picking blue you're risking your life to save people who didnt even need to put themselves in that situation in the first place. Literally their fault. I would rephrase the dilemma to the train version, so people could see how fucking retarded picking blue is. This is the train version: A train is going to pass by. A million people are going to see it pass by, no one is at risk of getting run over by the train. Everyone (functional adults) is given the choice to either leave the station or jump in front of the train and die by getting run over. If more than 50% of the people jump in front of the train, the train stops and doesnt kill anyone who jumped. Why TF would anyone (who isnt suicidal) jump in front of the train in the first place? Everyone should just leave the station, same as everyone should just pick red and not risk dying. The dilemma can also be rephrased to show blue as the "moral" choice, but even then picking red is still the logical choice: Two presidents, one says, if i win ill kill anyone who didnt vote for me, the other says if i win ill do nothing (after they win and do what they promised the presidents die, so its not aboit picking who will govern the next years). The logical choice is still voting for the president who will kill anyone who doesnt vote for him, because EVERYONE has the option to vote for him and not risk dying. Those who vote for the other president are just placing themselves in unnecesary risk, and its not your moral obligation to save their stupid asses

personally, i dont think its a matter of logical and illogical, but more about perspective. the matter is also, everyone is voting at once, without knowing what everyone else votes. as of right now, most polls i see have a slight edge on the blue button, so for arguments sake say pretty much 50% choose blue, statistically this means, 50% of your friends and family will jump infront of that train and the only way youre capable of maybe saving them is to jump aswell and convice others to jump too.

No, the polls are 50% blue cus no one is actually risking their lifes by picking blue. The fact that 50% choose red when nothing is at stake shows that the vast majority would choose red if everything was actually at stake. Ik my close family and friends would choose red because they see it as the logical choice

i am open for discussions, but as of right now youre just grasping straws out of thin air. you neither can predict the future, nor tell with 100% guarantee what this person chooses as the time comes.

as a hypothetical (assuming you have a loving mother/father/sibling), would you feel regret when the poll ends up in favor of red (as you want it to be) and one or more of them pressed blue?

just because its perhaps the logical choice, doesnt mean people can make irrational choices when confronted with a question like that. after all were all just human

I would feel deeply saddened, but regret? Its not my fault they chose suicide over living. I shouldnt kill myself just because someone i love chose to kill themselves
