If you press the button, 70 million people come into existence, (with basic necessities etc.) and everyone else's memories are updated so that it feels like they'd been there all along.
These 70 million people have worse quality of life than anybody else.
Do you press the button?

Pretty hard sell that you should create life with worse quality of life than the worse we currently have. Quality of life can go pretty low.

The inconsistency of this and the other poll is interesting and I think mainly due to status quo bias but there is a confound. We know roughly what the current bottom 1% quality of life is. This question places no lower bound on how low the new low is.
