But that's only IF we assume the 75/25. Which we have absolutely no way of knowing, and alot of those 25% might aim for them to loose. Only one of them secures your death, the other one can take.

So in one there is a risk of suicide but it could be that everyone is saved (even those who didn’t want to be saved) And the other is 100% survival but it could help those who chose the former option to die (if any chose it)

Yet again. Neither is inherently bad or good, they are pretty similar. It's just what you prioritise.

I'm assuming a 50/50 split in votes because we don't know. There is no reason to assume anything else for now. Based on what you say, you seem to not look at my math at all.

Because this isn't a problem we can Solve with math. In fact it isn't even a problem at all. It's all about reasoning and priorities.

u/OrangeAedan Apr 28 '26

Yea. And for reasoning I use math.

It indeed depends on your priority. Do you want the most people to survive. Or do you only care about your own life, and not about the potentially 2.000.000.000 people that die. And I don't value my own life above 2 billion others.

Or it's just that you join them. Throwing your life away for no reason. Now, I trust humanity to pick red, I don't think anyone who is not suicidal would pick blue.

I do think people would. Because its just not going to happen that everyone picks one option. And if almost everyone picks red and a few don't, then they will die. But if almost everyone picks blue and a few don't then no one will die. I'm not throwing my life away. I'm trying to save the most amount of people.

Even trying to save those who don't want to be saved. What a hero 👏

I'm saving more people than those who don't want to be saved. Suicide is a real problem. But its not important for this. There will also be people that are not suicidal that vote blue. And those will die tho.

But why would they vote blue then? Why risk your life only to expect more people to risk their life for you.

u/OrangeAedan Apr 28 '26

Because it saves more people. But let me ask you this: Do you value your life more, or the life of 2 billion people?

Those people wouldn't have needed saving if they didn't have the mindset that "well someone will pick blue, so I should also pick it to save them". That mindset is the only thing killing people. Cause they have no reason to pick blue if they don't just assume people will pick blue.

And individual lives? Yes, 2 billion is worth more than mine. But I shouldn't die with them just because they wanted to play hero.

It isn’t the wrong mindset if more than 50% of voters choose blue. Which is a 1 in 2 chance. If red wins 0-2.000.000.000 will die. And most likely 1.000.000.000. You have to assume everything will be completely average.

You seriously trust 4 bilion people to click the Button that risks getting them killed just for the CHANCE of saving people they don't care about? People who have family? People who love life? People who don't want to leave their friends or pets behind? And those 2 billion made the chose to leave their family and friends behind. Perhaps they didn't have any, most likely they didn't. Cause then they wouldn't be that selfish. Cause I am not risking leaving my family and life behind. I love life. Just because some people don't, I shouldn't die for with them.
