Good Monday morning. All right, need everyone to lock in because there's this viral hypothetical scenario I want you to think about. This weekend, Tim Urban posted a poll with the prompt everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who press the red button survive. Which button would you press? So, Toby, what would you press?

All right, so your gut reaction is to push the blue button because it feels like the right thing to do. You're thinking of the greater good, but more moralistically, it feels right. But from a reading comprehension standpoint, red is the only way to go. No matter what happens, if you press the red button, you survive. So personally, I think the moral answer is to click the red button where there's a 100% chance of personal survival. That being said, every single person I pose this question to, including you, and indeed, 57% of the 100,000 people who voted on Tim Urban's poll picked blue, meaning everyone survived. Anyway, so we what do I know? It's a very good hypothetical question to pose to your friends because I swear to God, the first thought is blue, blue, blue. That just feels like the right thing to do. But I want to see which one of your friends has a little bit more self interest in mind.
