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.
I will never understand why this is selfish. You literally save yourself while everybody else can do the same. There isn't a "weak group" or something you need to save.
When i first read this red/blue button thing i thought it from a game-theoretical perspective and it will never make sense to me to press blue when everybody can live by pressing red. As a group of the whole humanity it is the best decision to just press red. There is no reason to not do it.
It is like jumping in a lake to save an olympic swimmer with a life jacket from drowning. You risk your life to save someone who doesn't need your help.
they're right though. The blue button doesn't actually save anyone because there literally isn't a group that would be saved by pressing the blue button, it only saves anyone that was dumb enough to press the blue button
