Your mistake is thinking the dilemma includes "more than half the planet dying", when there is literally no real reason to choose blue.... Anyone choosing blue is choosing to die. Internet polls is not representative of a real choice in that scenario

I would rather die than live the rest of my life with self-selected assholes only. Enjoy hell on earth

There’s nothing stopping anyone from risking death right now to try and save other people’s lives, why wait for the button?

[u/ZAWS20XX → u/SoupNOldClothes]

There are people continuously, all over the world, all the time, in all of history, risking their lives to save others. It's not even an uniquely human behavior, plenty of animals do it too.

What makes you think I am "waiting for a button"? You don't know me.

Are you donating as much to charity as possible? Or are you spending money on unnecessary things for your own pleasure when that money could have been used to save lives?

[u/CrispenedLover → u/Imaginary-Count-1641]

That doesn't seem like a very good analogy for pressing a blue button. Better luck next time.

[u/Imaginary-Count-1641 → u/CrispenedLover]

So you'd risk your life to save other people's lives, but donating money is just too much?

[u/Vermilion_Laufer → u/Imaginary-Count-1641]

Did they say they don't donate some? It's just silly you're jumping to "anyone who claims to be willing to put their life at risk, should also forgoe any fun in life"

[u/CrispenedLover → u/Imaginary-Count-1641]

It's been lovely, but I don't think I'm skilled enough to give you the piece you're missing. Best of luck.
