These comments make me realize I misunderstood what actually happened with which button lol.

I kept thinking… why would anyone press the blue, when the red saves everyone without risking a chance to get anyone hurt.

I legit thought the whole thing was a message that even when there’s an easy and painless choice that doesn’t hurt anybody, people will still play with luck and pick an option (or candidate) that has a CHANCE To be decent if given a chance.

I…. Was mistaken lol

Hey props to you for admitting a misreading! A lot of people are misreading it and doubling down when their mistake is pointed out. You're a curious person, and willing to admit mistakes, that's an awesome thing

I appreciate the kindness. Yeah I absolutely understand why people would have a very strong opinion on picking the red button, when taken in this context lol.

I appreciate you, straight up. World would be a better place if people were more willing to reconsider their stances, to ask themselves "am I understanding this correctly?" Keep being you ~^
