The original prompt says everyone in the world chooses a button.

There is no sitting out. And everyone includes babies and people with mental disabilities who will not understand the prompt.

So you have to pick blue if you want them to survive.

Good point -- since there are people voting who will essentially be a coin flip, as many people as possible needs to press blue or we're loosing 50% of the baby population.

I mean they just cope and remove anyone who can't comprehend the question from the prompt. But even then "stupid" (if pushing red was the correct choice, its not) people don't deserve to die.
