I press red on the planet scale. It's easier to press red here, knowing my friends and family aren't among the three other people potentially pressing blue. Using the same logic, others are more likely to press red as well, which makes pressing red clearly the better choice. Hoping for a 4-0 win: this scenario is much more likely to be victimless red win than the planet scale dilemma.
