i have never seen the tyranny of the majority demonstrated so well

@7666
how's it demonstrating it? the people voting blue are giving the reds what they want anyway 🤔

@mirq anyone who doesn't push red is an idiot and deserves their fate

@7666 @mirq I'd push blue too, choice theorists would say everyone should go red but I think we should let people make irrational choices

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @7666@comp.lain.la @mirq@tsogol.tsiran.org pushing blue is actually the rational choice because living in a world of red button pushers world be utterly insufferable

@anemone @7666 @mirq oh this is a good point. its one thing to be selfish, but why would you want to live with other people who are selfish?

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @7666@comp.lain.la @mirq@tsogol.tsiran.org I’m being facetious, but imagine living in a society where everyone is a libertarian who posts on less wrong

@anemone @7666 @georgia @mirq aren't all lesswrong "effective altruists" they're ok with state power I think.

@sun@shitposter.world @7666@comp.lain.la @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @mirq@tsogol.tsiran.org I am just saying it’s valid to prefer death to living in a world where everyone is some version of the FTX polycule
