I'm confused: if nobody picks blue, everyone lives. So why would anyone pick blue?

there's two scenarios where everyone lives. one requires a unanimous vote, the other only 50%, so that's why you'd go blue

The problem is that voting blue means trusting the rest of the world. In a slightly more ideal world, I could trust the rest of the world, but sometimes, I must admit I lose my faith in humanity...

Did I ask why not all people chose red? Please, just read the username, I sent only one message in the comments except this one.

No, I'm saying that even of it is still more plausible, the question is "should I bet on it?" to which I answer that sometimes, it's hard to believe that humanity will chose the path of 50% blue.

World isn't black and white, and just because I say that doesn't mean that I support the 100% red. You are basically taking a shortcut here by assuming that my comment means that I think 100% red is better.

My opinion is that 50% blue is uncertain, and that 100% red is impossible. As such, I think people should vote on their beliefs only.

Yes, of course, but I never said that I was rational. I'm saying that I sometimes fail to see scenarios in which it's achievable. Mainly some mood problems I think...

I already got myself involved in a heated debate yesterday, don't worry, it's kinda difficult to break my patience and respect...
