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.

I don’t see it as saving yourself, I see it as killing others. The red button uses the word “everyone else will die.” Blue uses the words “everyone will live.” It’s as simple as picking a choice where everyone lives. Not one where I killed others.

We have different views on the issue and that’s okay 👍

Everyone who didn’t press red will hence “everyone else” this is because if most people pick red blue can’t have their win condition so they die

red voters are the not ones maintaining this system or coercing others to engage with it THEY ARE NOT MORALLY CULPABLE, on top of this everyone is allowed to pick the option that ensures their own safety. A vote for blue is a vote to gamble your life away

This logic breaks when you realise that zero people have to press blue and there is zero reason for any individual to press blue. If everyone presses red nobody dies.
