@waitbutwhy Besides the inherent logic of pressing red (you survive no matter what, and everyone can survive no matter what by pressing red), the fact that some 8 billion people are making private votes means yours is almost certain to be irrelevant, thus making red even more desirable.

@robinhanson But why was Ceres ‘demoted’ in the 19th century, along with the other minor planets known at the time? Why did Neil deGrasse Tyson ‘demote’ Pluto at his planetarium in the 90s, ahead of the IAU? It’s actually a much more reasonable way to organize our understanding of the SS.
@HughJaynus8k0b@shegone03 He's not talking about unwritten rules, just basic strategy for trying to win the game. Trying to steal 3rd base in such a situation reduces Tampa's chances if he's caught, but doesn't increase them at all if he succeeds: a risk with zero potential reward.
