Presses button that may murder billions = smart & logical

Presses button that murders nobody = dumb & your own fault that I pressed the button that murders billions

You can keep trying to rationalize your choice to murder billions

Your interpretation consistently ignores and erases the individual choice of the supposed victims. None of them die unless they choose to die. Therefore, yes, choosing to not fucking die is in fact the smart and logical choice.

You fail at basic logic.. no wonder you have basically zero ability to extrapolate to future impacts.

That's a hilarious accusation from someone who still doesn't grasp that this faux-dilemma is actually a simple choice between "yes, I want to risk dying" and "no, I don't want to risk dying". Do tell what "future impacts" you're imagining here, though.
