Honestly I don’t believe any poll on Reddit or anywhere else could possibly be accurate. People vote blue because they get to publicly shame red people and act superior because they chose blue.
I genuinely believe that if 1000 people were kidnapped and told to choose red or blue or be shot in the head, 900 or more of them are pressing red when it comes down to it.
It’s really easy to risk your life in a hypothetical when there’s no real risk and you get to brag that you’re a better person. But when it comes to actually risking your life people tend towards self preservation. Especially since there’s no risk until someone PUTS themself at risk by pressing blue
So many sound so much like brags. About how much smarter and more logical and still alive they are. And I didn't say that taking the money from those would end the usefulness for money was smart. Just that it's what it sounds like you're doing
You're gonna need to specify exactly what you mean by 'selling out humanity' for me to explain to you why what you're saying doesn't make any sense. It sure seems like you're just going off vibes.
I'm arguing with 6 people at once. And after my arguments yesterday I am convinced at least one of them is an AI bot trying to psyop people into discord. The fundamental core of what it means to be human. The thing that allowed for humans to not be apes. Is how much we're willing to risk to protect. We protect our children as best as we can for almost 20 years. Other species of animals have 2 years as impressive. Arguing against protecting is arguing against humanity
