BONUS EPISODE 33 - RED AND BLUE BUTTON

I think a big thing they're missing in the red vs blue conversation is that we live in a world where most people live in collectivist cultures, not in individualist ones - at the end of the day, I think a lot of this is collectivism vs individualism - collectivists press blue, individualists press red. Generally, the western world is more individualist and the eastern world is more collectivist, and that does show up in who made which choice, at least to some degree. I would guess that pressing the blue button corelates positively with being opressed. Even before considering these facts, it's unreasonable to assume that the quag casters are a repersentitive sample of the world, so using them to predict what would actually happen is different. I think the most interesting argument they had was about what it would be, gun to your head, but I think the actual red vs blue button situation is different - the big factor is fear, which decreases when it's a button instead of a gun.
