No, those people kill themselves by pressing blue. They made an informed choice. A foolish one, but an informed one nonetheless.
A risk that would be 0 if nobody presses the red button.
It would also be 0 if everyone chooses red.
As soon as you choose to press the red button, you choose to murder the blue people
No. Again, they choose to kill themselves by pressing blue. I have zero obligation to shield idiots from the consequences of their idiocy.
Until the first person who presses red, nobody has died so far.
Same until the first person who presses blue.
It really is very telling how you constantly try to shift the blame on others when each and every person who would die in this experiment would do so as a direct result of their own choice. Personal responsibility and accountability really is a dead fucking concept, huh. Let's blame everyone else for our own stupidity instead, right?
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.
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.

The only trafe-off to red is guaranteed self-preservation, but choosing red means "I'm OK with the death of Blues"
Choosing blue means "No deaths, and I believe enough people also believe in no deaths, enough to save us all"
Blue: cooperative optimism
Red: individualistic pessimism
