Framing Red/Blue like an actual Trolly Problem
There are three variations of the problem I want to explore, to see how people respond.
Rules: the *only* people who are affected are people who choose to respond to the question. People who think logic problems are dumb and opt out are not subject to the consequences, but people who compulsively answer questionnaires are definitely going to get roped in.
V1:
Anyone who votes blue dies, unless they meet the 50% threshold, then only 1% of blue dies. Anyone who votes red lives.
V2:
Anyone who votes blue dies, unless they meet the 50% threshold, then 1% of *everyone* dies. Anyone who votes red lives if red passes 50%, 1% of red dies if red doesn't pass the 50%.
V3:
Only 10% of blue voters die, unless they meet 50%, then 1% of everyone dies. Anyone who votes red lives unless blue passes 50%.
