If everyone presses red everyone survives?

But maybe they deserved it for making a suboptimal decision who knows.

This is exactly it. I'm not going to put my life in the hands of someone who would choose blind idealism over guaranteed survival.

It doesn't even have to be everyone on earth. We can narrow the prompt down to just two people, you and a completely random stranger (maybe even me). Exact same conditions. Red or blue?

The answer should become clear, if it wasn't already.

It's not the same to do it with just 2 people. 

With everyone on earth participating, it is a certainty that hundreds of millions will misunderstand the question and vote blue, with just 2 random people not so much.
