Red button blue button, but you know the multiverse is real, and infinite, and every version of yourself in every universe is making the same decision and will come to the same conclusion as you.

However, other people will come to different conclusions depending on the universe due to mild differences in said universe, they will still be biased towards their original belief: e.g. a strong red button advocate is unlikely to be switching their vote in other universes.
This means every possibility will come to pass in infinity/n worlds.

Does this change your answer?

I often hear the red-buttoner point that your individual vote barely matters and is unlikely to change the outcome. I have other objections to this point but I've already discussed them outside of this post so that's not what I'm here for right now.

But I think there's an equivalent to this point for the blue side: If red wins and you voted blue, your individual death also barely matters. Among up to 4 billion deaths and likely more due to the aftermath of such a cataclysmic event, my death is so inconsequential.

So I may as well vote blue, because even if blue loses, my death basically doesn't matter, whereas if red wins then that wipeout is gonna matter WAY more to the point I can't compare them.
My death has no long-term effects on humanity. A red win is likely to have long-term effects on humanity.
This kind of goes hand-in-hand with the whole "not wanting to live in the post-apocalypse" point, too. A post-red-button-win-world would be the most boring kind of apocalypse.. No zombies to beat up or anything..

It's too easy to get carried away with this kind of discussion and start being disrespectful to our fellow people because of their stance on a fictional supernatural scenario.
I don't care what people talk about in these comments but it'd be cool if you all respect each other as a little bit of rest from the arguing.

Do y'all like wooden plates? If over 50% of people don't like wooden plates, everyone gets a wooden plates.

Cause if I am, there's not really a comparison point to be able to tell. How to tell?

Let's reverse the stakes, in a way.

Red button: all who press the red button live the rest of their life in bliss, peace and happiness- whatever that looks like to them. They live their ideal life. If red reaches a majority, blue pressers will live life only as normal.

Blue button: If blue reaches a majority, everyone lives the rest of their life in bliss, peace and happiness- whatever that looks like to them. They live their ideal life.
