| Topic | The best song of 2003 just came out |
| NeatoAnAccount 08/17/23 12:33:47 PM #9 | I agree that the video is too HD to be mid 2000s but the song is a bop. The lyrics are the only part of the song that feels like parody; putting that aside it feels like a straightforwardly good new song in a long-abandoned genre. It's great in the same way that E-Rotic is great. They even call out several E-Rotic songs in the lyrics.

I'm in awe that is not option 4 by a landslide. I guess the difference between 1 and 4 is subtle enough that I wouldn't notice unless I was listening for it. 1 is the dictionary option, 4 is the rebel option I'm surprised that 2 is so much rarer than 3. Like you'd expect one form of semi rebellion to be approximately as common as the other --- Neato, an account |

You've changed which button contains the mechanism that can potentially kill people, which is a big difference to then say the buttons are "basically" the same. Not really. It's a matter of perspective which button actually kills people. Lots of the red voters were saying that the blue button is the suicide button, and I don't fault them for that perspective even though I disagree. If the red button killed people last time, the heart button kills people this time. And if the blue button killed people last time, the skull button kills people this time. I picked those symbols and worded the question this way to prime you to think of the skull button as the death button even though the blue button is functionally the same. Again, I'm blue/heart. --- Neato, an account |

You got 100% in your interviews vs 50% blue in the b8 poll My interviews were 3 people. I expect that if I went out and asked more people I would get some reds. But I believe that they're not that unusual among the general population. The twitter poll that inspired this question is 65% blue with 69k votes: https://twitter.com/lisatomic5/status/1690904441967575040 There's also the issue of framing. There was another twitter poll with an equivalent question, and that one wound up 65% red with 4750 votes: If <50% of people pick blue blues die. Red always lives. https://twitter.com/_ali_taylor/status/1691108374920704001 But I think that the question as posed in the OP would lead to >50% of blues,which is why I voted blue, and it looks like I'm correct. --- Neato, an account |

| NeatoAnAccount 08/15/23 11:51:33 AM #54 | Have any of y'all asked the general population about this? Everyone I've asked has said blue, even after I've pointed out that red makes them immune to death. Their gut reaction was blue and then they didn't change their mind after further consideration.

I'm not willing to bet my life on 50% of humanity being in any way selfless or good. It was 37-36 blue before your post and now it's 38-37 red you would have saved almost 50% of us if you voted differently (if you voted when it was neck-and-neck); how do you feel? --- Neato, an account |

| NeatoAnAccount 08/15/23 1:58:31 AM #22 | Not playing is not an option, you must push a button. All 8,000,000,000 people are required to push the button.
Ashethan posted... Why would anyone push the blue button? Am I missing something? If nobody pushes the blue button, nobody dies. Anyone stupid enough to pick Blue is darwinism in action. 100.00000% of the population has to push red for no one to die 50.00001% of the population has to push blue for no one to die Blue is a much easier path to no one dying, and it looks like most people will see it --- Neato, an account |
| Topic | Do you push the red or blue button? |
| NeatoAnAccount 08/14/23 6:47:51 PM #6 | I love that the silent majority is saying blue. Like blue started off slightly ahead and we're pulling even more ahead. We're basically voting between killing billions and killing 0. Killing 0 is an easy value prop. I believe strongly that most people would take the "kill no one" option, and it looks like I'm correct.
It's really interesting how different b8 is from Twitter; on Twitter it's like 75/25 but on b8 it's 55/45. Snake5555555555 posted...
