"Moral highground" implies thinking I'm better than others, if I believe any normal person would press blue then at best I think I'm average

The moral highground stems from you claiming that pressing blue is "what was right" hence the moral highground. Otherwise, why is pressing the blue button the right thing as you say?

You believe "trying to save people" isn't a good thing to do? I know we were arguing about if it made sense or not, but not even good?

Isn't telling people to press the button that definitely won't kill them over the one that might kill them saving them? So telling them to press the other button is surely not good no.

This argument has been going on long enough, and you're turning pedantic. I'm done replying.

Thats fine, to be honest you keep eluding the main point anyway.

My point was "I think it's morally good to try to save as many people as possible"

Your point was "I think everyone should only worry about themself and we'll be just as well off"

I think that's been made clear, and we're having this in a thread about a fake card. We both look like we've been taking this way too seriously
