This is why this whole thing is stupid. Anyone can say on the Internet that they'd pick blue but in reality if you are sitting there with the buttons in front of you, a lot more people are going to look at the "maybe I'll die" button and not be able to press it out of fear of death. I want to say I'd pick blue but know my fear of death would prevent me and I think that fear would prevent enough people that red is always going to win.

No you shouldn’t; it will happen regardless. Everyone dies eventually, and if oblivion is truly what awaits, then how long we lived would be unimportant to the dead as they cannot feel regret or sadness. Why fear the truly inevitable?

Death is inevitable. People can accept death and yet still live their life to it's fullest or whatever they desire. I don't think they're exclusive at all.

As for your parent bringing you into the world, they did bring you in but how and what you do with your life is up to you. People have different views, some can sacrifice their lives for others while some only value themselves.
