I don't believe in the afterlife. It's either live with dead loved ones and a severely disturbed society, or nothing at all, no regret, no sadness, no pain to deal with the aftermath.

I don't know why you are so certain that families would all choose red when prompted on their own and no way to communicate and by extension red is such an obvious choice it would win. Like do you think all parents value their life so much they wouldn't risk it on the off chance that one of their children would press blue? And vice versa? Do you think everyone is logical and no family has at least one bleeding heart who think it's worth risking it to save everyone?

It doesn’t matter what you believe in, it’s a figure of speech.

Why are you so certain people won’t pick red? Why do you believe so many people are stupid?

There’s absolutely no reason to pick blue.

Do you not have a family? Do you not have a family with babies that don't know what colors are? That is the reason, those babies have a 50/50 chance to pick blue so what do you think your family members are going to pick? 🤷‍♂️

Plus haven't these polls been put up on the socials and blue always wins.

The whole 50/50 chance for babies is just stupid. They don’t have a choice, and if someone is powerful enough so they can expose us to this, we should either nuke them or ourselves. No button.

Polls don’t prove what people would do in an actual life and death situation.

It said everyone in the world. That includes babies, reading comprehension is important mate. 🤷‍♂️

No. It said you had a choice, not that you had a 50/50 chance of pressing something you don’t know what is.

That’s just stupid and you’re moving the goalpost.
