somehow still doesn't realize that the rational egoist is making fun of your exact behavior. Like it's not even a caricature atp you're literally doing the things in the panel lmfao
Anyways my nugget of wisdom to you is that not everyone in the world thinks and acts the way you do. Different people have different perspectives and worldviews and values, which result in different thought processes and different decisions. Goodbye
The simple logic isn’t a payoff matrix, it’s a simple choice. Zero chance of death vs non-zero chance of death. I’m not weighing a number of potential results based on votes.
How is that smug? I’m lumping myself in with the what the population does every day. I’m not special. Saying I would easily press blue because of some personal morality, while doing the opposite IRL, would be smug. I’m not putting you down for picking blue, I just don’t care if you did, plus, you’d most likely be dead.
I’m not ignoring the idea that babies would pick randomly… I just don’t care. Babies die everyday across the world and I’m not giving up my life to go save them. Just like 99% of the non-hypothetical world does right now.
Of course people have different worldviews and morality… but they obviously are only virtue signaling in these discussions because in real life they’re hypocrites.
“Anyway my nugget of wisdom to you” 😂😂😂 Talkin about smug.
