People who are pushing blue button purposefully would only create more human disaster.
Ok so this is my first ever reddit post, and the reason why I’m even posting this is because i have a strong opinion on this. Although, I don’t want to come off as condescending or try to sound morally or intellectually superior, as I am open for criticism for my views and debate. But If I had to choose a button, it would be Red. And I think if everyone had the option to pick red, they should. Which by the way I don’t know if that’s common sense, but yeah.
Ok so to make things short, when people are faced with this kind of situation, humans are inherently selfish. They’re gonna choose to prioritize the lives of themselves and their close ones by picking the red button. This selfishness will be explicitly shown when putting people in a situation like this button thing. Because of this, I can almost guarantee that the red button will always be the majority, is this were to happen.
Therefore, since the red button is always going to be the majority, people advocating for blue saying they can save everyone and trying to get people to follow this movement will overall be worse for society and get even more people killed as this number will definitely still be below 50% of the population.
TLDR: There’s no way in which the blue button will ever have a chance to get to over 50% if this situation ever came into real life, and people advocating for the blue button and telling people it’s easier to get to 50% than 100% aren’t the brightest and are just going to get more people killed in the process.
Edit: Take what I said about humans being inherently selfish with a grain of salt I didn’t mean it completely like that. Just what i put more thought into is my argument about that in mu opinion i believe that the majority would be red.
