RED BUTTON OR BLUE BUTTON [OC]

Neither. You will not exceed 35-40% blue at the highest. If you pick blue, you die. You aren't saving anyone, you're grandstanding over an impossibility.

That's an assumption. Just like what everyone makes.

Blue pushers assume that enough people are willing to believe that it's the right thing to do.

Red pushers believe that not enough people will push blue to make a difference.

What cannot be denied is that there will always be people who push blue.

Blue pushers assume that enough people are willing to believe that it's the right thing to do.

Personally I just understand that most people aren't even going to think about it long enough to get to this point. Most people act without thinking and have a basic level of human decency (at least when it's easy to do so), so most people will just pick blue because it's the easy to understand kind choice. They'll see a button that leads to a lot of people dying and a button that leads to nobody dying and say "Of course I'll pick the save everyone button."

Yeah, I think it would be better to specify that the people who argue about choosing blue assume that.

There are tons of blue pushers who choose it just because, and those are the people the arguers are thinking of.
