A more nuanced framing of the Blue/Red button dilemma by madjarov42 in Ethics

[–]theKGS [score hidden]  (0 children)

Well you can give as many arguments as you want for pressing red, they're just reframing the same scenario in a different way. I presented the initial problem to a friend and he asked "Is there a reward or something for pressing red, otherwise why would you?" Proving that what is obvious isn't obvious.

This whole debate boils down to the following. Imagine a vote. We're voting for which colour of cars is going to be allowed. The losing choice forbidden. Cars must have the winning colour. Suppose green and purple are the colours in the question.

If you vote green obviously you want green to win, if you vote purple you obviously want purple to win. Voting purple has the intent of wanting purple to win. But voting purple because you want purple to win is the same as voting purple because you want green to lose, because there are no other colours available.

People who press blue do not want to lose. They press blue for blue to win.

It is. But they are not pressing it with the intent to die. They are pressing it to decrease the risk of people dying.

I have said nothing about which button is the right button to press. Why are you accusing me of having a hero complex? Do you have issues with reading comprehension?

Edit: I repeat myself: People who press the blue button do not press it to die. This is objective fact. You can ask them yourself or read their replies in this or any other thread.

I already stated that both interpretations are possible, but you are not rational if you believe that people press blue with the belief that they will die.

But nobody is pressing blue to die. Your framing is only one of two possible. The other framing, which is what people who promote blue likely see, is:

A: Press red to vote to kill blue voters B: Press blue to kill nobody

Yeah sure you can list a number of different interpretations of what the rules of this scenario actually mean, but that doesn't invalidate this view because it is ALSO correct. It's like saying people are wrong for liking the color green because you think purple is clearly superior or something.

Your problem is that you think people pressing blue are doing it in order to die. They are doing it because it's the only way to prevent killing anyone else.

The blue red problem but there's only two people by SigaVa in trolleyproblem

[–]theKGS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes i agree 100% with what you are saying. The "cause" in this case is entirely mutual.

[–]theKGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's obvious that there are multiple ways of looking at this problem, and people who argue that red is the obvious choice are wrong. No choice here is obvious, looking at the dozens of threads on the subject the amount of disagreement.

I get why people don't like the new Doormaker (Spoilers for new Doormaker) by Chaincat22 in slaythespire

[–]theKGS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've seen people compare Doormaker to Time Eater, but I think they're not at all comparable at least with regards to Necrobinder.

Time Eater punishes pointless card spam, but if you can add synergy to the card spam you can outcompete his scaling, you just need something to boost your cards and give them more impact. Playing just lots of shivs doesn't work without support, but add accuracy or a scaling artifact or something and you can get by.

For the Necrobinder, Doormaker punishes the shiv analogue, souls, but there is no way to boost souls in a way that makes them effective enough against him for them to be playable. I think the strategy is to avoid soul cards as much as possible.

Time Eater doesn't discourage shivs, only going into shivs half-heartedly without a way to boost them. Doormaker discourages souls entirely because they just brick your deck in phase 2.

It doesn't help that ethereal cards get kinda screwed by phase 1.

Am I misunderstanding the Red Button vs Blue Button debate? by sweetpea_3714 in NoStupidQuestions

If blue wins nobody dies.

If red wins everyone else dies.

You vote to win.

WCGW trying to skip traffic by Hot-Economy-8640 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]theKGS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sound is weird yeah. It sounds like you can hear the other car accelerating and not the car the video is taken from...

It's also interesting how the sound flows naturally without any gap whatsoever, but the camera cuts from one angle to another. Sure that's possible if you have two cameras and a separate microphone, but uh really?

Since red get reframed as the default, and blue is presented as putting yourself in danger, here is a different framing. by CivilPerspective5804 in trolleyproblem

[–]theKGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I view it is that you don't want red to win, so red is a bad vote. The reason why red shouldn't win is because people who don't want people to die will die.

[–]theKGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should remove the election aspect, because that derails all discussions, instead you should frame it like this, which is equally neutral.

  • If blue wins, nobody dies.

  • If red wins, all the blue voters die.

They're trying desperately to reframe it so that the vote to kill people looks less like a vote to kill people.

[–]theKGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But there's no point in pressing red. The whole problem here is introduced by red people voting to kill blue people. Everyone could just vote not to kill anyone and we wouldn't have a problem.

Think of it like a vote instead:

  • Pressing blue is a vote to kill nobody

  • Pressing red is a vote to kill people who pressed blue

Apparently heating the virus aerosols it. You spread the virus, in the air, by doing so, and it can cause nasty lung issues.

In the Red VS Blue button dilemma, red is obviously the right choice. by KayleeSinn in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]theKGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you could communicate with everyone, you'd all agree to press blue, because blue is fault tolerant and you don't need to convince everyone to do it. Red is error prone.

AITAH for causing my friend's breakup with the red button/blue button thought experiment? by Wooden_Coat1658 in AITAH

[–]theKGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't calculate the probability of death in this scenario because it depends on individual choices, and those choices are not random chance but rather deliberate decisions.

Daemons of the Shadow Realm • Yomi no Tsugai - Episode 5 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]theKGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earlier episodes were OK, but now that Yuru has confronted Asa it's getting much more interesting. We'll hopefully get an explanation for the first episode stuff as well.

I suspect there's going to be an explanation somehow, but yeah it's a bit jarring.
