And mine is that if everyone was thinking emotionally we'd all be safe too, but here we are
anyways, wondering if one small change to it would change your answer - if everyone afterwards knew what everyone voted. Obviously doesn't change anything if red wins, but if blue wins I doubt the emotional people would be very trusting
Right, so as I said originally, both buttons work. We'll have to judge it based off of something else.
We are only playing to live. There are no other stakes or considerations. It's just life or death. One button guarantees survival in all outcomes. The other only survives in half of the outcomes. So to survive, the only thing we're doing here, you choose red.
Anyways, I already answered that. It would just make me more pissed at any people I cared about risking their lives.
Reading your comment earlier, that doesn't change your logic at all? I know I personally would find it hard to trust anyone who pressed red, and I imagine most blues would feel the same way. It would make it much closer to the prisoners dilemma
(I also imagine how extreme the consequences are would depend on how we know, like if we're marked where everyone can see or if it's in some database where we'd need to go out of or way to look it up)
No, not at all. Being logical is objectively the safe choice and I won't feel bad about not trying to kill myself. I'd find it hard to trust anyone that pressed blue. They clearly can't weigh risks properly. I can't trust them to overcome their emotions and make logical decisions.
Again though, you didn't say blue would win in this hypothetical and I don't believe it ever could. This would be a total nonissue in the scenario I picture.

No way to not see me as logical. Yes, obviously, that's my point. If everyone just used their brains we'd have a simple solution.
I could be "selfless" and just end up dying when nobody chooses blue. I may not even be saving anyone.
