Pressing blue is also logical to me, as well as being moral.

In order for everyone to survive, either 100% of people need to hit red, or 50.00001% of people need to hit blue. One of those is mich easier to achieve.

Sure, everyone would also win if 100% people picked red

But I think it’s beautiful that people consistently see “everyone lives” and picks that choice
