My System 1 had the inconsistent intuitions that I should choose the blue pill but I shouldn’t step into the blender. This is probably because my intuition didn’t entirely register that red pill = you survive no matter what. I was not-quite-thinking along the lines “Either red pill wins or blue pill wins, the blue pill outcome is better, therefore blue pill.” As for getting the opposite intuition in the other case, well, “don’t go in the scary people blender” is probably a more obvious Schelling point than “take the pill that kills people.”
