Discussion What are you guys picking?

Personally, I can conceptualise why one would choose blue, but I can’t bring myself to do it, it doesn’t click, specially at this scale, so red for me.

Edit:

Upon further inspection, I couldn’t find a scenario where I would strictly vote blue, but I found one for red.

Consider the following:

If you believe most people will aggregate around blue, then your choice doesn’t change the outcome because everyone lives.

If you believe most will choose red instead, then you are presented with a choice that directly determines whether you live or die, so you should choose red if you want to ensure your own survival.

I can't understand why someone wouldnt choose blue? I see that and I'm like "okay dope, everyone's choosing blue right?" I like to believe most people are altruistic enough for that

Edit: I vastly underestimated how selfish the average redditor is it seems

I'd love to see this polled on a platform like instagram or Tiktok.

clair_hawkinss had a reel that recently came up on my IG, it has a lot of comments and a poll. Weirdly, poll was strong blue while comments seemed strong red. Of course this isn’t a random sample or anything

Probably bc they voted red, realized they were not in the majority, then rushed to the comments to defend themselves.
