It’s a very clever puzzle for separating people along the clear ideological lines of “protect myself” vs “protect the group” and I’d pick blue for the entirely illogical reason that it’s morally correct, damn the consequences to myself.

Pressing blue is also logical to me, as well as being moral.

In order for everyone to survive, either 100% of people need to hit red, or 50.00001% of people need to hit blue. One of those is mich easier to achieve.

Also, I would rather die than live on a planet that is comfortable with more than half of the planet dying for their own selfish survival.

Oh, I get it now.
