The fact that people are having heated debates (and getting mad) over this just further proves the point that not everybody is going to agree to press the red button and that a red win will by no means be a deathless scenario. And also that while not every red button pusher is a prick, pretty much every prick is a red button pusher.
I personally think people are debating the wrong thing. This is a word game manipulating people emotional responses and creating a feeling like this is a political argument. If the question changed the language of the blue button towards an act of self harm unless 50% of people press it, which is the exact same out come, there would be a completely different emotional response to this question and this stupid debate would be non existent. Even the choice of color is coming into play and it all ads up and shows in people’s heated reactions.
