> If the majority of people can’t be bothered to press the button

It is not a matter of "can't be bothered". This is blatantly dishonest framing.

> It’s purely selfish

It costs nobody else anything. Literally all they have to do is also push red.

I said the idea is to appear noble and altruistic. Writing off alternative options as "selfish" is, inherently, doing exactly that.

You didn’t even bother reading what I wrote.

For me, blue is the purely selfish choice. Because I have no interest in living in a world where red wins a majority on this one. It’s not even a tough call.

You aren't interested in living in a world where people are generally unwilling to risk their lives for no benefit beyond the possibility of contributing to saving the lives of people who don't need saving (as they can trivially save themselves)?

Of course not.
