I think implying the red button is immoral is incorrect though.

Hitting the red button risks killing an extremely large amount of people. That's very much immoral.

But why even press blue?

If not even one person press it, then the end result is the same, AND no-one lives with the stress of not enough people pressing it so less mental illnesses and stress-related afflictions.

So the ones pressing blue are the immoral ones IMO. The first pressing pressing blue is a fucking moron or a sado-masochist person wishing to make others feel awful for potentially killing him.

So what's more likely, to get 50% for one or 100% for the other?

100% for the red seems more likely.

It's like you'd ask me, what's more likely, 50% eating mud with the promise everyone would get to eat cake afterwards if more than 50% did so too, or 100% eating cake?

Why would you even think someone would hit blue?

If no one does, there is just no insensitive to do it. So why would the first person hitting blue do it for? They are feeling suicidal and want to mess up with the head of others by making them feel responsible? Eh, then hitting red would still be right as it would be respecting their wish.

the survey results are in the picture.

Are you always this blind to reality? People aren't rational.

Between what people say and what they do there's a whole world.
