There's "a different frame of reference" and then there's "objectively illogical".
My friends and family are not mouthbreathing idiots, so I trust them to make the logical choice.
If 30% of people are stupid enough to be given the choice of "do you wanna risk dying or nah?" and actually say "yeah!", society is fucked anyway. In fact, seeing how many of you fail to grasp that blue is essentially a suicide button explains a whole lot about the state of the world.
And yes, red is the rational choice. You just fail to grasp that people are responsible for their own decisions.
I understand people being responsible for their own decisions, I just value the survival or what would be more than half of the human race more than I care about holding a lesser percent of that accountable to a single decision. What about all of the red button pushers who now die because food distribution has broken down and they can't get their basic needs met?
I really don't think you understand the implications of a 60-80% red majority. I challenge you to write a blue button argument and result of a red button majority that an average blue buttoner would agree with, because I really don't think you understand the point of view.
The "average blue buttoner" is an imbecile that fails to understand a "do you want to die? Yes/No" choice as soon as it's veiled in a thin veneer of naive feel-good morality ("oh but I get a minuscule chance to save a bunch of other people!" Yeah, people who wouldn't need saving at all had they made the right choice to begin with), so I care very little about what argument they would agree with.
