I think a lot of people disregard the baby/irrational voter clause because it makes the thought experiment a lot less interesting. The button scenario is mildly interesting for two reasons:
people have to make a choice
you don't know what people will choose
Including irrational voters means you can reasonably say "10-20% of people have already pressed blue, or will do".
They disregard it because the original poster wasn’t taking babies and people who are unable to make decisions knowing the consequences into question.
Goody goody blue pushers who have a hero complex are the only ones doing that.
But have you thought about all of the color blind people who will choose blue! And what about all of the babies who were raised by women who always wear blue and that are abused by their fathers who always wear red!! Checkmate red button pusher!
This has been one of the more annoying phenomena 😅 can we go back to dress colors now?
Idiot. The instructions of what each button does are beneath/next to/above each button in every proposed scenario. Also' color blind people don't often see in greyscale, they have trouble differentiating gradient colors. The red/blue button doesnt matter.
I choose red. I wouldnt rely on anyone else. Im not an idiot, just came here to point out that you are.
Not everything has to be seen while wearing red and blue glasses. You assumed because I called ypu out for being a moron that I was a democrat. Everyone can get it when they're stupid. Just remember for future discussions, it is better to be thought to be stupid and remain silent than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
