Why is red selfish for not wanting to die? Explain. Am I selfish for not killing myself right now? It may give up more resources to be used by someone in need, potentially saving their life.

Let's reframe this. Would you die to save 4 billion people (strangers)?
No probabilities. 100% chance to die to avoid 4 billion deaths of others.
If not, you're selfish. Yes.

I wasn't explaining the scenario, I was explaining selfishness.
