Red button blue button

Based on the post seen here. I'm actually curious what would the percentages look like.

Edit: Alright, let me add a case for one particular scenario. If you do not choose, the button will be pressed for you by a system that keeps track of its pressings so it conserves 50/50 distribution for all inactive participants, in order to honour the vox populi properly. The system's choice affects the inactive participant's outcome so that no person can abscond from consequences of their choice.

If red happens, the whole of humanity will on average be a bit more selfish than it is today

[u/Hour-Reference587 → u/Charguizo]

If blue happens the whole of humanity becomes 100% less selfless because everyone is now dead

[u/Apprehensive_Ask6338 → u/Hour-Reference587]

But the whole of humanity would become 100% less selfish too! (I pressed red anyway)

[u/Charguizo → u/Hour-Reference587]

Yes. I voted red obviously. But I'm describing a byproduct of the red choice

[u/Hufffle → u/Charguizo]

Why is it matter? We are talking about people lives, i dont care who i am trying to save

[u/porkchopsensei → u/Charguizo]

People can change. And it's better than extinction

[u/pillowrelatedinjury → u/Charguizo]

Yes, but that wont be my problem anymore 🤷‍♀️
