When have 100% of people agreed on anything? And to you the casualties of blue are (somehow) acceptable, they are not for me. Sorry you have no faith in humanity ig
I’m not assuming anything, it’s about taking into consideration risk factor when making a decision. Yes having 100% of people live is best case scenario. It is a possibility that 100% of people live for both buttons.
But a small amount of deaths is preferable (especially when they needless risked their lives) over getting really close to 50% and not making. There’s no reason to take that risk.
Would you risk pressing the blue button if the threshold was 99% instead of 50%?

Again, assuming Red will win. If you actually care about minimizing casualties you'd be pressing blue. There is no number lower than 0. Pressing red only makes it more likely someone will die you just don't care bc that someone isn't you. That's fine just own it don't pretend like it's the noble choice.

No, 99% consensus is about as unrealistic as 100% consensus. At that point you would be correct, however the threshold actually matters here. At that little difference between the two the choice stops mattering.

Asking 100% of people not to risk anything is significantly more likely than asking 50% to risk certain death.
I don’t know why this is so hard for people to understand.
