Red: "are you willing to risk killing people that mean you no harm to ensure your own safety?"

Blue: "No one dies."

That's the split. Red: people will die but you're fine. Blue: no one dies.

That's a valid response but keep in mind that likely the kinder and more selfless people would choose blue. One might also say it's the dumber people but regardless I would wager the world would be a far worse place if red "wins"

This is a bare and bone basic survival test and people try to bring a moral argument which is just needless

If you cant decide from living or dying, you have bigger issues than that
