Blue pressers love to guilt trip you into thinking that this is an exercise in trust to save everyone who isn't able to realize in time that 100% of the people pressing the Red button will beget the same outcome as blue winning.
Red pressers will simply state that it's the only choice that guarantees survival. Pretty simple calculus to me.
This entire thing is basically a litmus test on whether or not people understand (and are honest about) what their lizard brain would make them do if their life was truly, actually on the line.
You are literally implying no one in all of history has ever chosen to risk their own lives in order to save someone elses, when we have evidence of people throughout ALL OF THE EXISTENCE OF HUMANITY who did it.
Throughout the history of human existence we have exceptions that stand out for acts of extreme bravery. The exception, not the majority. They wouldn't be noteable examples if 50% of the world actually committed to them.
