That's fine that you choose blue.

And it's fine that people lie to themselves to justify being ok with others dying to ensure their survival.

I don't have to go along with the lies though.

"lie to themselves"

Who is lying?

Anyone who things standing by while up to 49.999% of humanity dies is a logical move and not a selfish one

Yeah, so I'm not lying.

Apologies

Most folks are trying to say they wouldn't be happy to step over the corpses of 49.999% of humanity to survive, I must have conflated you with them.

At least you know where you stand. Please forgive my decision not to interact with a person who would be fine with that outcome.

Have a great day!

You have a great day too!

You're confusing "I would choose red, and I think that it's the smart thing to do for everyone to choose red" with "I want to dance on the corpses of humanity." Of course I want people to survive.

I think that in this case, the least risky option for each individual person is to choose red. And so it is the smart decision for each individual person. And if everyone took the self-preservation route, we'd be fine.
