Buttons without clarifications

Here is the scenario: you are in a room with 4 things.

  1. the Twitter prompt

  2. & 3) the buttons

  3. a timer with X time, x is enough time for you to comfortably think through the problem and come to a conclusion without pressure. If that's 10 years for you it's 10 years, doesn't matter.

Does your answer change without perfect knowledge of who is or isn't included? Do you risk pressing both or neither without clarification of what that could mean?

I'm sorry but I see red as way riskier than blue. I cannot see humanity persisting if 30-50% of people die overnight.

How the fuck is voting red safe? You risk all of humanity and only have good winning outcomes getting some ridiculous percentage like 90%

Like I agree you are safer than if you vote blue. You survive more often, but I can't see it as a "I always live option" like red pushers seem to portray it as. You risk not only your own life but a huge chunk of people, yourself included if blue loses.

Maybe if someone can convince me that Billions dying isn't gonna impact my life red would seem more tempting but I just see it as a suicide button.
