Question stolen from Twitter:
Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?
my choice and rationale
my choice and rationale:
Blue button because it’s the superior moral choice. Moreover, the red button world becomes shithole tier hell with all of the genuinely cooperative people eliminated. High trust is gone and you have global izzat chicanery. May God have mercy on red buttoners.

Exactly. I don't care about "being completely safe". I really don't want people to die. The blue is literally the only good choice.
But man, do I wish the red pressers the world they would get.
You could make a neat short story where this happens, but it’s just a way to ID misanthropes. It becomes a public event and the people who voted red are suddenly all recognized by some distinct thing (idk maybe they all grow a horn out of their forehead).
