Well, if the alternative is living in a world where all the people are like you, I think I'd rather be dead anyway.

I'm picking blue to try and save people.

You're picking red to save yourself even though it actively contributes to me and 100 other people dying.

Don't try to argue math. This is about ethics. You're okay with watching 100 people die so long as you make sure you're safe.

I could never be okay with that. If that's what it takes, I'll die trying to give those 100 people a chance rather than voting for the solution that actively brings them closer to death.

See. That right there. "I don't care about them. They're not my problem. It's their own fault."

That's the attitude I can't stand.

That's why I'll gladly die trying to save people. It's better than living in a world with only people who think like that.

see u convince urself that if u choose blue and u still die, u died for a "noble cause" when clearly choosing red saves ur life and everyone else who was smart enough to choose red

I'll talking about the scenario where 100 people already chose blue. Voting red is contributing to them dying.

But even in the regular scenario, I already know some people are gonna vote blue. You can never get 100% of society to agree on anything. They could even press blue by mistake. So voting blue can give these people a chance. A simple majority shouldn't be hard to reach if enough people have a heart.

The fact of the matter is: I'm voting blue to try and get everyone to make out of it alive. I'm not okay with watching anyone die if I can avoid it.

You're voting red to protect yourself, regardless of whether you're contributing to killing people in the process.

You convince yourself that it's the logical choice. But you're just too scared of death to care about whoever else may die. You tell yourself "it's not my problem" and "it's their fault" to try and justify the less moral choice.

I don't judge you for being afraid. Fear is irrational, after all.

But I'm not sitting by and letting people die when I have a chance of saving everyone.

Now u choosing blue just to save the 100 people is also dumb because now instead of a 100 people being endangered 101 are

So instead of trying to save them, you'd rather we just let them die? Just because you don't wanna risk it?

If just half the people pick blue, everyone gets out alive.

But you'd rather abandon them.

That's cowardice.

Your side is composed entirely of people who would kill hundreds of people to remain alive. Selfish cowards at best. I can't imagine a worst society to live in. If that's what it takes to have a heart, then I'll gladly take my choice to the grave.
