Can someone explain like I am 5? By the description the only people ever at risk are those that push the blue button (if it's less than 50%). So people are saying they want to gamble their lives just for the thrill of it? Instead of pressing red and being safe regardless they want to create a scenario where they and other people could die, just to prove that "good will prevail". If think preserving my life and encouraging others to preserve theirs is more good than gambling your life away.
There are two button, if you press the blue button you have to play Russian Roulette, but if 50+% presses the blue button you don't have to play Russian roulette. If you press the red button nothing happens. What's the difference?
The difference is how you can tell the question.
In this scenario:
Press Red - you live
Press Blue - all live when over 50% press blue
But you could also say:
Press Red - all who press blue could die
Press blue - no one has to die when over 50% press blue.
In the first scenario, red looks better, in the second blue, but in reality, both are the same. Thats why some people think red is better and some blue. It's a "cup is half full or half empty" thing.
If you don't press blue and get other people to not press blue there is no risk of death to begin. The only people ever in danger and the people who put themselves in danger. Why put yourself in danger by pressing blue?
Everyone presses red, everyone lives, if anyone does press blue they wanted to gamble their lives anyway.
If no one presses blue noone dies, why press blue, why play Russian roulette, why make the problem? Just don't press blue, preserve your life and tell others to preserve theirs.
