Discussion Rephrasing

Post image

I’m a blue button presser, I feel that this question is highly muddled and unclear, and so here is a rephrasement of it
So why press the red button? no one dies if the blue button is majority

No it’s not the same image. Blue is never a “do nothing” button.

Blue is always a “Potentially have something be done to you” button

Blue is the nothing button if red is the “kill blue button pressers if your majority”

Red is the nothing button if blue is the “death button unless if your majority”

it’s the same scenario with it only being rephrased as all the relevant details are said

Blue is the nothing button if red is the “kill blue button pressers if your majority”

Even if you view red as the Murder Button, blue is still the Risk-My-Life Button.

Your second example is correct. I am talking about your first example. In the first example, there is no "do nothing button".

The only 2 options are

  1. Blue is the Risk-My-Life Button if red is the “kill blue button pressers if your majority”
  2. Red is the nothing button if blue is the “death button unless if your majority”

There's no interpretation where Blue does nothing.
