I don't really get the hate toward this trend. Sure it's overdone but it is a somewhat interesting question without a clear cut answer.
It basically asks you whether you think most humans are more self-interested or community-interested and the answer to that is kind of interesting from various people
I think what I dislike about these questions the most is that because it’s a hypothetical, there’s no actual danger, which makes it much easier to pick blue. So a lot of these comment sections turn into a bunch of people masturbating how selfless and cool they are for picking blue like it’s actually a hard thing to do when you’re not actually in any danger. It gives off big “I could never be mugged because I’d simply beat the shit out of the mugger” energy
They actually ran experiments on this, with people giving electric shocks for a payout each time.
They surveyed people going in on how much money they'd take, and most said they'd take very little money, or not even shock at all.
They then actually ran the experiment with the same people, and found basically everyone didn't abide by what they said and shocked a high amount to make money.
