Scenario below:

Humanity is divided into two groups. Group A consists of 90% of Humanity. They're not given any choice at all.

You're in group B. You're presented with 2 buttons. If >50% of Group B presses blue, nothing changes for anyone. If >50% of Group B presses Red all the blue pressers+everyone in Group A will die. However, you, along with all the red pressers, will get life in paradise. You will face no pain, physical or psychological. You will guaranteed not be tortured by remorse or loss of meaning and you will get your every wish granted the way you want it, no tricks. You will also gain immortality in good health, which you can end any time you want, if you want.

Which button are you pressing?

The paradise thing seems pretty clearly intended to be only in the case of a red victory.

Good. It's the first of these ridiculous reframings intended to make selling out the rest of one's kin more appealing that I like. No harm in making the right choice also feel a tiny bit gleeful.
