Simple thought experiment.
There's a button. It launches every nuke, just have to press it. Assume it would wipe out enough nearly everyone. .001% chance of survival.
What percentage of people do you think would voluntarily press the button, given the chance? If you want to explain why you think you or some particular person would or wouldn't press the button, go for it. But I'm more interested in our perceptions of others, and what we think other people would do, generally.
Does your answer change if the button is not red?
Also happy Thanksgiving.
FUCKING LOL. This @Fawlty guy is on fire lately. He mocks the abortion thread as trolling a karate forum and then he makes this thread about people pushing a 'button' that wipes everyone out for no reason(s).
Never change my guy, lmao. But seriously, Not many would I think. Unless we have more @Trotsky type people than I think in real life, the real die hard nihilistic types.
