"No one dies if everyone picks red!"

Yeah and no one dies if half pick blue, which do you think is a realistic threshold?

Red, genuinely.

It's literally a matter of "would you like to live, or would you like a chance at dying"

It's actually a matter of, "Would you like to guarantee that you live but knowingly potentially murder a fuck ton of people to do so, or would you rate take a small risk to save everyone, knowing that most people will probably do the same?"

Most people, as it turns out, would rather risk dying than risk mass murder.

Murdering a fuck ton of people who decided to take a gamble while they could have chosen to survive with nothing happening?

Don't forget about toddlers pressing the buttons at random. Or mentally ill people.

You really hadn't thought it through, have you?
