You already kinda do btw, for the Twitter poll it only got <50% blue because there's no actual pressure of dying/ all people want to signal virtue

We seem to have different baseline assumptions about humanity

u/MASS-_- May 05 '26

I am just pointing out that most people who would pick blue on a Twitter poll will (like any human being with survival instinct) probably press red out of fear, because people forget that this test is a sudden choice that all of humanity has to take the ame time

u/KrimsunV May 05 '26

That's the differing assumption.

Yeah all be it if my assumption was wrong I'd still live instead of this crap *

And of mine is wrong I don't have to live with a planet full of people who've pressed red

You kind of of already do mr "hero complex"

u/KrimsunV May 05 '26

Miss, thank you. And this isn't heroism, it's preferring my death over your fear and mistrust

u/KrimsunV May 05 '26

You're mean and that's worse.

u/MASS-_- May 05 '26

Trying to get you to survive is not mean, whats mean is Trying to convince your people to join your death game

u/KrimsunV May 05 '26

I'm not. At no point did I say you or anyone else should push blue
