Alt Skull's Charnel House

Same exact argument was made with the covid shot to try and force us to press that blue button. “If you don’t also press the blue button we blue button pressers are going to die, you selfish red button pushers!!!”

i saw a good tweet reply to it. there is a giant blender. half of all people on earth need to get into the blender and that many people inside will mean the blender cannot spin and will kill nobody inside. fewer than half of the planet inside and the blender will spin and liquidate them all. not getting into the blender has zero consequences. would you get into the blender?

Jailbroken Wetware This guy Gossip Goblin does absolutely incredible AI edits and is in the process of making movies with them. I believe he’s already produced a full short film, and this one works fantastically as a short story. Yeah I know there are black people in it save your comment. @AltSkull48

Damn PsyopAnime works fast. @AltSkull48

Hard times create red-button-pressers. Red-button-pressers create good times. Good times create blue-button-pressers. And blue-button-pressers create hard times.

I might press blue in the world he describes. This is not that world.

A comment by a red-button-presser that puts the finger in the wound:

The hidden hand of self-interest already produces the optimal outcome. Risking up to half the population's lives for nothing but the warm fuzzies of having participated in a "cooperative equilibrium" is insane. In the red-blue puzzle, there is no aggressor to be fought. The problem is purely circular and nothing of value comes out of it.

This nearly perfectly captures the different frames people use to analyze this problem and the argument in favor of fostering blue-button-pressing. Red-pressers tend to frame the button game as a single isolated decision problem. For blue pressers, what's at stake isn't the button vote but what the disposition to press blue indicates about everything else someone does. These frames talk past each other. The disposition behind those “warm fuzzy feelings” about cooperation, which red-pressers consider naive or insane, is precisely what extends cooperation beyond the reach of pure self-interest. The warm fuzzies are the emotional reward humans attach to loyalty, honor, fairness, and cooperation. It is part of the machinery that makes costly cooperation psychologically possible. To be fair, I can work with honest red-voters. Predictable self-interest is much better than fake virtue. The people to be wary of are those who virtue-signal blue and then vote red. But I would still rather have honest blue friends than red friends. Reds will save themselves. I can work with this if they're honest with me. But blue friends will side with me even against an enemy that might win and kill them. Blues will fight wars and enforce norms against defectors to achieve outcomes they might not personally live to see. Someone has to be willing to pay the founding costs of trust, law, and cooperation. To do this, you must identify with a cause that transcends self-preservation. You need a willingness to die for your principles. The warm fuzzies are the human machinery correlated with blue-pressing. This is the machinery that motivates people to bear founding costs that pure self-interest would tell them to externalize. Red preserves the self inside a low-trust world. Blue is one of the dispositions that makes a high-trust world possible.

Which Button do you press?

The Japanese/American cultural exchange continues

Funding extremist voices while targeting moderate ones. The process is called tipping and sorting. The process is outlined in a whitepaper titled "Containment control for a social network with state-dependent connectivity". Promote the pushers while censoring the bridge builders. These plans weren't the brainchild of the SPLC. The SPLC were just foot soldiers for ZOG. The plan came straight from the top and its the reason for all the social media censorship of reasonable discussion. The SPLC is merely doing exactly what the FBI itself does with paid informants. One of the reasons they're "catching" the SPLC is precisely because it has outlived its usefulness. It is no longer as effective as they want so they'll fold up this organization and create a new one, or several dozen. Its not a distraction that they're taking down the SPLC; the act is one of pressure relief. Take down the SPLC so that dozens of more can grow.

All great feats are accomplished in pursuit of ideals, not by fretting about our limits. Logically we’ll get tired and we might lose but ideally, we cannot be beaten.
