It is.
A train is coming by.
People are really having fun with the trolley problem.
A train is coming by and the only way to stop it is pulling a lever, but it's stuck.
We need 50% or more people to pull on it to dislodge it, getting the train to stop, but the lever is on the track.
So by pulling on it, you're letting yourself in danger of the train, except crucially, no one is tied to the track.
The only people put in harm's way is anyone who's trying to stop the train for some weird reason.
We can also just go sit over by the side, watch the train go by, and wave at the conductor and say hi.
Clearly a red teamer.
Anyway, I ran the red-blue experiment at home, and my one-year-old son, this is from Wicked, without any influence chose blue.
For that reason, my wife and I will always choose blue.
That's heartwarming.
Nathan put it in economic terms.
Red, you get $10.
Blue, everyone gets $10, but only if over 50% of people choose blue.
Which one are you going with in that scenario?
Red, you get $10.
Blue, everyone gets $10, but only if 50% of people choose blue.
10 bucks.
You're going blue or you're going red?
