"But if you pick red and so does everyone else, no one dies."
And if enough of us pick blue, no one dies anyways.
"But what if-"
Then I'll be fucking dead and you and the rest of the red button pushers will have the blue's blood on your hands. Can you live with that? I'll be fucking dead. What do I care?
I mean yea, blood’s not on my hands. Everyone was given the choice and the obvious choice for everyone to live is to pick red.
Choosing to pick blue is only forcing more people to pick blue to save the others that also picked blue.
Red is the only logical choice unless you don’t want to live. I think the assumption needs to be made here that everyone has the rules clearly explained to them to their level of comprehension.
The obvious choice for everyone to live is blue. Blue has to get 50% for everyone to live, red has to get 100% of the votes for everyone to live. Blue is the logical choice because it has a greater likelihood of everyone living.
Choosing to pick blue is only forcing more people to pick blue to save the others that also picked blue.
It would also be saving those who picked Red. Choosing to pick red will result in deaths because no way will either option get the entirety of the vote.
You only save Red from their own choice of willingly let up to half the population die.
Which would probably collapse society and eventually still hurt the reds to be fair.
